Problem using progress bar

[Astorga]

I edited my wps (removed all manual block bars and put formatting like %pb) and still doesn't work. Can someone try this and say what it shows?

Edit: Looks like I found the problem.
If I remove part of the wps, it loads what it has. It appears that WPS manager can't handle so many things in screen, and doesn't show anything (it explains the simulator showing no errors too).

So, I can't do anything to solve this, right?

If it's a skin buffer overflow problem (I haven't looked at your code), you could try to reduce the images size (actually trim them) and leave just the part that changes to load. It's a good idea to use the main WPS backdrop to contain the "initial states", e.g. make it including the shuffle-off icon and just loading the shuffle-on icon, instead of loading both the shuffle off and on icons. Also try to reduce if possible and optimize all elements that are loaded using the buffer like fonts, viewports, etc. You can always check the skin ram usage (also in the simulator) under system>rockbox info>skin ram usage (or something like that)

So, the skin doesn't load at all even in simulator, so I can't see the actual skin memory usage.

Also, my wps doesn't have any image, just text (it's included in my last post).

Try CheckWPS http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CustomWPS#Tools or try commenting out progressively viewports until it loads and then check the skin ram usage.

After commenting 4 viewports, the wps worked in simulator (ver r27847) (even with volume and battery bars working perfectly), rockbox info shows the following:
Buffer: 30.5MB
Skin RAM usage: 16.4KB / 808KB

It doesn't look like a skin ram usage problem, can you post here the vieports you commented out?

I commented exactly the 11 last lines:

Code: [Select]

#%s%ac%Sx(Song) %pp %Sx(of) %pe
#Status da reprodução
#%V(124,126,57,8,-)
#%acStatus
#%V(124,136,57,8,-)
#%ac%?mp<Parado|Tocando|Pausado|Avançando|Recuando|Gravando|Grav.P.|FM|FM P.|>
#Tempo de Reprodução
#%V(190,126,123,8,-)
#%ac%pc/%pt
#%V(190,136,123,8,-)
#%pb(0,0,123,8,-)

Late reply... it seems that the line that breaks the WPS (if you comment just that line out, it works) is

Code: [Select]

%s%ac%Sx(Song) %pp %Sx(of) %pe

Note: The characters you use to draw the outlines didn't work when I tried it, but that doesn't break the WPS.

I think I found the problem: there isn't a "song" translation in language files
But why doesn't simulator said that using -debugwps?

Edit: and why doesn't the volume and battery numbers update on the fly?

About the update problem with %pv and %bl - you put both on a line that has the %s tag to allow it to scroll.

Unfortunately there is a longstanding bug with this sort of highly dynamic content (like current volume) on scrolling lines which is probably not solvable with the current scrolling mechanism. and hence is not easily fixed.

You can only work around it by removing the %s tag.

Ok, thanks for the tip.

And thanks everyone for support
