Audio Playback, Database and Playlists / multi genre tags?
« Last post by tizxv22 on Today at 01:48:30 PM »Hi, I want to tag my files with multiple genres. Currently I'm using mp3tag with "//" as a separator. My player (hifiwalker h2) recognizes the genres as separate, but only files the song under the first tag (e.g. if I was using "," as a separator for "pop, dance" , I was getting "pop,dance" but with "//" as a separator for "pop//dance" I'm only getting "pop").
Searching through the forums, it seems like the latest post in 2018 said Rockbox doesn't support this and it would be very difficult to implement. I also found this https://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,27170.msg177622.html#msg177622 workaround. Are these two still up-to-date? Are there newer ways to get multi tags?

Plugins/Viewers / Re: Last Fm logging Scrobbler
« Last post by Bilgus on Today at 10:21:46 AM »Sorry?
The previous version was a TSR plugin that you had to remember to run
I think remembering to export before track removal is probably less problematic
The main issue I have with scrobbler in core is the amount of data
you have to write to the buffer (and to disk) during playback
With this method devices without a spinning harddisk can just write directly to the disk
they don't need a big buffer to do it quickly enough and it doesn't consume so much core RAM even for the spinning disk devices
because we have a set limit on the amount of data and can have a sensible buffer that is able to hold at least 10 tracks it should also result in less battery used
Not that you aren't still doing the processing anyway but it can be deferred till charging is close at hand..

Usability got worse, in my opinion.
1) One more action to export;
2) Listened files must be accessible during export; no metadata in .scrobbler.log otherwise

Feature Ideas / Re: Keep custom audio speed setting during shutdown/reboot
« Last post by Bilgus on Today at 12:40:52 AM »I also fixed my biggest gripe about NVRAM getting corrupted which is tied to the size of the system_status struct

« Last post by Bilgus on Today at 12:30:54 AM »Ok the latest is now submitted
I'm pretty happy with it and I think should match what we discussed

Theming and Appearance Customization / Re: SPAZZ theme
« Last post by chuck_lardo on January 18, 2025, 07:19:56 PM »##UPDATE##
Fixed spacing for big playlists and long tracks. Added an hold indicator on the SBS. Cleaned up the code to hopefully eliminate viewport flashing. Thanks everyone for reporting bugs.
The USB screen should work for everybody now. The experiment with ASCII text didn't work out but I think it is cooler now anyway. Although the effect would be better if the animation timings could be faster.
Bonus colour pallet below.
Cheers

However the
rate, pitch and speed information will be stored in any bookmarks you may create
while the pitch is altered and will be restored upon playing back
those bookmarks.
"While the pitch is altered" I think you can get rid of and is potentially misleading, unless you're planning on changing the behavior of bookmarks, because even if the pitch hasn't been altered, the unaltered value is stored (and will thus be restored).
