Theming and Appearance Customization / Re: Bug? “Error accessing playlist control file” using %Vp
« Last post by RetiredTeacherGuy on January 22, 2025, 06:25:12 PM »sure, you can select "View Current Playlist" from the Playlist Catalogue's context menu:
https://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo/rockbox-buildch5.html#x10-1040005.10.1
Right but for theming purposes, when I try to use %Vp it seems to return empty if/until I start the playlist. Example: The iPod has been shut down. I start it up and if I have %Vp in a viewport, I don’t see any info, but if I restart the playlist then come back to the sbs, I will see the info.

Rockbox General Discussion / Regarding the rockbox subreddit
« Last post by cujm on January 22, 2025, 01:30:27 PM »Hello everyone.
I am the lead moderator for r/rockbox and have been for about 10 years. I requested the sub back when I regularly used rockbox because it was abandoned and I felt like I could contribute. I'm willing to admit that I don't regularly use rockbox enough these days to be competent enough to support the community. And ever since the reddit API change I seldom use reddit. I was wondering if there's any admins/devs/veteran community members that are willing to come on as a mod(s) to support the community over there. There are over 5000 subs and regularly receives multiple posts a day and I feel bad when people reach out to me directly thinking I'm an active contributor or dev and I don't have much help to give.
Looking forward to feedback on this. Thanks

« Last post by Bilgus on January 22, 2025, 11:15:04 AM »I would like to eventually move most of the settings to plugins, they are run pretty infrequently after setup and we could then add a lot more expressiveness into it
like adding search and help text

Plugins/Viewers / Re: Problem with the Shortcuts Plugin?
« Last post by iPodVT on January 22, 2025, 10:44:43 AM »Nice, I'm the opposite type of user I want it to just turn on resume playback and play till it runs down or I turn it off
I rarely skip tracks and when I do I really would like to delete them and when the playlist ends I load another and
thats about it for my day to day interaction with my dap
I do some plugins and the bookmarks for audiobooks but those can be automatic now with the bookmarking ignore stuff
but I do enjoy seeing what yall come up with in the OS that is rockbox
Actually, my heavy use of shortcuts is in large part for auditioning/testing/experimenting with features and settings - activities that require repeatedly changing things in a short time frame. There are only a relative handful of my shortcuts that I use on frequent ongoing basis. When I'm just listening to music I don't really fidget with the device very much (though I do love to mess with the gadgetry of iPods and Rockbox). There are lots of entries in my shortcuts file that could and should be removed, but I'm also a bit of a hoarder. One of the things I love about Rockbox's circular menu scrolling is that I can put the most often used shortcuts at the top and bottom of the menu for super quick access, and then the less often used stuff more in the middle.
I'm also experimenting with using Shortcuts to just change specific settings rather than take me to a setting's menu. For instance, I have a Brightness shortcut that takes me to its menu, and I also have shortcuts to just change the Brightness to 16, or 25, or 32, or 50. At some point I will probably have all of Rockbox in my Shortcuts Menu... ;-)
