Rockbox Development > Feature Ideas

Random track selection

<< < (6/7) > >>

Bilgus:
Try again I forgot to comment out a line for testing
or copy your db4.tcd file to the root of your drive..

philden:
This one nearly works! I named it random_playlist6.lua and kept the default options. The list of 500 tracks scrolled by on the screen, but was replaced by the attached error message.

Bilgus:
Well you know it will work if you grab the latest dev version :P

Bilgus:
I also now have a version ready that lets you choose to save to disk or use the inbuilt rockbox playlist_insert functions

--- End code ---

it defaults to using the inbuilt rockbox playlist insert so should work for you as well

Bilgus:
this ended up being a pretty complicated journey in the end thanks philden :)
should be a nice example plugin now, I may revisit it to address the taking
of the audio buffer but in the meantime I'll probably remove that panic from
rockbox since clearly there is a way to run out of memory for the playlist
(giving it all to lua)
