Updating the bookmark file via PC

[quindel]

I'd like to write a Java jar that updates the bookmark for an mp3 file. Updating the time is not a problem, but how do I get the bookmark in bytes correct? Is there a good java way for this?

I listen to the mp3 via the PC a lot, but before I swap to the car, I want to update the bookmark where I left off. I got the time figured out, but the bookmark by bytes is sometimes wrong.

If not, Can we have a function setup in rockbox, that I can click on a mp3 file, and create a bookmark at a certain time, and either keep it in the bookmark file or recent bookmark file?

Any tips would be great. Thanks.

I use IRiver IHP-140.
Thank you
Peter

The bookmark files are simple text files. If Java can handle text files there shouldn't be a problem with this ...

See apps/bookmark.c. You're likely looking after parse_bookmark()

No. Long answer: something like that would be only useful for a rather limited number of users, while adding complexity (and code size) to Rockbox. Such things are usually not wanted. What would be acceptable is a viewer plugin that converts a file to the bookmark format. Though I don't see much point in that, the bookmark format isn't  too complicated (no, I'm not familiar with it).

Is finding the source repository for Rockbox really that complicated?
