tagnavi.config v2.0 syntax

[kwaanens]

Sadly, I can't seem to get this to work.
Looking at the player lists now, it's the same as it's always been. I know I put the right file in the right place. (The original tagnavi.config should stay in place, right?) I tried updating from 18. december daily build, to I also tried reverting to defualt settings, and see if that changed anything.
Re-initialising the player now, to see if that changes anything

This is my file, probably not as complete and nifty as bascule's but still, it works with a build from yesterday.

Thanks!
Yours seems to work.
Hope the other one can be fixed, so I can chech out which one I'd like to use.

It's based on roolku's file from a while ago... But i've mucked about a bit with i since then...
I suggest you do the same

I have no idea why mine did not work, but the content is from the same base as xlarge's one, so really it would be sufficient to look at mine in Notepad/your choice of text editor, get the hang of the syntax and then (re)write your own!

EDIT: This has been fixed - see my edited post

For anyone who is interested, I've updated the Wiki regarding tagnavi syntax with some of my recent findings...

Good job!

I just wanted to say that this was the final thing that i wanted out of rockbox that I too miss from RIO KARMA. I posted earlier today on the iAudio board about this - they informed me it was already done, and I found it here. Worked like a charm!! Rockbox is amazing. You guys rock.

One small change I'd like to see to bascule's tagnavi_custom.config is the menu item to list all artists (and albums) in one screen as before in addition to the option to browse by first letter.  This would make it easier to view all artists (or albums) without having to enter each letter of the alphabet.  I'm sure this is possible but I haven't read through the entire wiki entry yet.  At the risk of testing Llorean's patience, does anyone have a quick suggestion to achieve what I want?

[Llorean]

I'd imagine putting a line with

Code: [Select]

"All Artists"   -> artist -> album  -> title = "f_browse"
before

Code: [Select]

"A"   -> artist ? artist ^ "A" -> album  -> title = "f_browse"
Would make the first entry do what you want.

Worked like a charm. Thanks!  Another question while I have your attention: where is the play count information stored?  I update often and find that the play count gets reset and I'm not sure if it's because I'm deleting the file that stores the information or if it happens for some other reason.

[bascule]

It's stored in the Database's *.tcd files in normal operation and shouldn't get overwritten by rockbox version updates or a database update, but will get lost if you initialise the database.

If you wish to preserve playcounts over re-initialisations, follow the manual instructions here under Export Modifications:

I tried to use %strip to strip the tracknumbers when displaying titles (which should be sorted by tracknumbers), but it does not strip anything. I use

%format "fmt_title" "%02d. %s" tracknum title strip = "3" ? tracknum > "0"

Is that format incorrect or does strip not work? Any help would be appreciated.

If you have copied exactly what you used, then the problem is you missed the % from %strip...

I tried:

%format "fmt_title" "%02d. %s" tracknum title %strip = "3" ? tracknum > "0"

in the simulator and it worked perfectly...

To look good, though, you need to strip 4 characters (2 for the number, 1 for the '.' and 1 for the 'space'

Sorry, I did of course use %strip and I also tried 4 characters. I am quit sure that it did not work for me but I will again test it this evening.
