Odd wps limitation in list of timings

(1/1)

Hi,

I'm using Sansa e200v1.  The ClipArt theme by Stephen Carroll has a nice alternate feature for no-album-art.  It shows the next half dozen or so playlist selections, with the timings in a separate column.  I've incorporated a version of this in the wps I'm using which is a version of Lucid Plain, but the limitation is the same in the original so it's nothing I've done.

The thing is, if the selection playing and those upcoming are all 3-4 minutes then the timings all show.  But I listen to classical with longer selections and if the current selection is around 25 minutes and the next one is also around 25 minutes, those are the only timings that show.  All the titles of following selections will show, but not the timings.

Experimenting with various playlists, it appears that the limitations is that only about 60 minutes of music will show with timings, and pieces after that will show without timings.

I seems very odd to me that Rockbox is limited in how far ahead in time it can see as opposed to how many items.

Here are the relevant lines of code:

%V|0|110|20|60|1|FFFFFF|000000|
%Vp|1|%pp.|%pp.|

%V|20|110|145|60|1|FFFFFF|000000|
%Vp|1|%it|%fn|

%V|151|110|-|60|1|FFFFFF|000000|
%Vp|1|%pt|  --|

torne:
Information about queued tracks is only available if they have been buffered into RAM, so for a given format, bitrate and player it's always going to be about the same length of time. Larger formats (like flac) will be lucky to have *one* track's information shown; smaller formats will have a lot more.

OIC!

Thanks much,
