Rockbox General Discussion / Regarding the rockbox subreddit
« Last post by cujm on Today at 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 Today at 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 Today at 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... ;-)

Plugins/Viewers / Re: Problem with the Shortcuts Plugin?
« Last post by iPodVT on Today at 10:21:04 AM »This is the entry I use for dashed separator lines in my shortcut.txt file:
[shortcut]
type: separator
data:
name: -------------------
icon: -1
talkclip:
I also tried it without supplying the dashes in the 'name:' field and that result in a plain empty line - no icon or other default content.

Plugins/Viewers / Re: OpenPlugin the plugin for opening plugins?
« Last post by Bilgus on Today at 09:46:30 AM »Not really I need to make manual entries for these
Not really a whole lot to this one
OpenPlugin is basically a database of plugins and their parameters to run them, they get stored to the db and you get a key to retrieve them later
It also has a mode that uses rockbox's language id as a key to allow storing plugins for actions such as your
wps hotkey, startup plugin
It also has an accompanying plugin 'Apps>open_plugins' that serves as an editor for these entries
so you can view / edit/ export them
