iPod Mini 2g Theme/WPS Fail

[Jescartes]

Hey guys!

I've set my mum up with an old iPod mini 2g with rockbox installed on it, and as part of that i set up a simple theme and wps so she could undertand it nice and easily. It worked nicely, then suddenly it stopped and no matter what i do it reverts to the old theme again.

The theme:

Code: [Select]

wps: /.rockbox/wps/Simple.wps
sbs: -
font: /.rockbox/fonts/08-Nedore.fnt
statusbar: top
selector type: bar (inverse)
iconset: 
viewers iconset: 
ui viewport: -
volume: -30
scroll speed: 5
backlight timeout: 5

The WPS:

Code: [Select]

%wd

%ac%t4battery is at %bl%%;%ac%t4the time is %cH:%cM;%ac%t4%?mh<ipod is locked|ipod is unlocked>
%acthe volume is at %?pvdB


%s%ac%?it<"%it"|An unknown song>
%s%ac%?ia<by %ia|by an unknown artist>
%s%ac%?id<from %id|from an unknown album>
%ac is now playing!
%ac%t4%pc played so far;%ac%t4%pr to go;%ac%t4%pt total

%ac%s %?mm<Repeat is off|Repeating all songs| Repeating just this song|Shuffle is on|Repeating selection>;
%ac%s%?ps<Shuffle is on|Shuffle is off>

Have I deleted something to make this fail? I've looked over it, and can't work it out. Or is the ipod just being annoying? Anyone got any ideas as to how to fix this?

Thanks!

Have you tried it on the simulator? It can help you find the problem easier

[Jescartes]

Yeah, it was fine. To be honest I haven't tried it recently, but I have since it stuffed up for me. It worked fine

[audio-i]

At first sight it looks good to me, which Rockbox version does the mini have installed? The simulators are a bit outdated now, but if you are using stable release 3.5.1 (or 3.5) the release simulator (http://rasher.dk/rockbox/simulator-3.5/) should behave like the actual device.

[Jescartes]

Using 3.5.1. Trying again in the simulator, and I'm getting an error I haven't seen before

ERR: Failed parsing on line 3 : ERR: Unclosed conditional

What does it mean? And how do i fix it? :p

Take the question mark out of %?pvdB on your third line so it just reads %pvdB. I suspect the question mark's presence makes Rockbox think you're opening a volume-related conditional (which I'm not even sure is possible), when it looks to me like you're just trying to display the volume.

[karashata]

Volume-related conditionals are possible, how else would so many people make themes with images to indicate the approximate volume level? The conditional format for %pv is %?pv<mute|...|0 dB|over|>, where ... is any number of conditions (usually images, but could also be text) between mute and 0 (separated, of course, by | characters) to show an approximation of the current volume.

Anyway, forgive me for that off-tangent... Yes, as epithetless said, if you're only trying to display the actual volume in dB, you don't need (or want) to use the ? in the %pv tag.

Oops, of course. I don't know what I was thinking. In my defense, it was about 5:00 in the morning (following a sleepless night) when I wrote/thought that...
