Playlist catalogue - more than one playlist directory?

(1/3) > >>

OldSnake:
Hi,

I just flashed my Sandisk Sansa Clip+ with Rockbox 3.11.2 and am overwhelmed by all the options that I can now switch on and off. It's really amazing what the Devs have set up with this wonderful piece of software. :D

I have one question regarding the playlist catalogue: Is it possible to set more than one playlist directory? My playlists are located on the Clips internal memory and on the microSD card so I have to switch between the directories if I want to use the playlist catalogue for both memories. The manual speaks only of a "player’s specified playlist directory".

And one more thing: The original firmware of the Clip+ has a (main) menu item specifically for accessing and hearing podcasts. Is something similar planned for the main menu of Rockbox? That would be a real time saver.

JdGordon:
It depends what you expect from the playlist catalogue. If you put .m3u files in there with the correct paths then you could probably do that with a shortcut to switch the PC directory to the internal/uSD path. (i.e create a shortcut to run a .cfg which just has that one setting set, then the main menu would go to the right one).

As for the second question, there are ways to do that with the database

johnb:
Also for the PODCASTS directory I use a shortcut ...

OldSnake:
Already created some shortcuts, but it's nonetheless a bit more inconvenient than the OF...

Rockbox already scans all available memory spaces, why not put all found playlist files into the playlist catalogue automatically by default? Is something like that planned for a future release?  ???

JdGordon:
because it isnt that simple. and noone has done the work needed.
