Sansa Clip+ YellowBar Dynamic not showing progress on bar

[Manzotto]

Hi everyone,

i'm new to rockbox, and trying to understand it. I installed and starting configuration. By installing it from scratch, i choose YellowBar Dynamic skin. Played my first song, and the song progress bar remains empty. Tried updating everything, but nothing changes. Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

The likely explanation here is that the progressbar is drawn in the default viewport, as opposed to being drawn in its own viewport.

A relatively easy fix if you know how.

EDIT:

After looking at the code, I really don't know why the progressbar isn't updating.
It is indeed drawn in its own viewport, though, perhaps it isn't playing nice with the playlist tags.
But that is pure speculation.

Sorry I jumped the gun on my answer, if I get time I will have a play in the simulator and see if splitting the progress bar and the playlist position tags into separate viewports makes it play nice.

To the original poster: redownload YellowBarDynamic and the progressbar will have been fixed for you. YellowBarDynamic and its Unicode variant were both updated on the Theme site.


The progress bar tag apparently needs its own line just like the picture tag.
And it must come before any other "text" tags or else those won't show up.  I never saw this peculiarity documented.

Originally this syntax worked fine, but now it doesn't show the progressbar:

Code: [Select]

%V(0,0,-,8,2)
%al%pc%pb(32,0,66,6,pb.bmp)%ar%pr
%x(a,pbbackground.bmp,32,0)

Now this works on build r27759:

Code: [Select]

%V(0,0,-,8,2)
%al%pc%ar%pr
%x(a,pbbackground.bmp,32,0)
%pb(32,0,66,6,pb.bmp)

This fails to show %pc and %pr on build r27759:

Code: [Select]

%V(0,0,-,8,2)
%x(a,pbbackground.bmp,32,0)
%pb(32,0,66,6,pb.bmp)
%al%pc%ar%pr

ah cool, perfect I thought I wasn't the only one hallucinating, i was looking for a syntax error or something. ha. the same goes for the %pv volume bar - it too won't show when line sharing.
