OpenPlugin

Open plugin is a recent addition to rockbox
at the lowest level it allows storing and hashed lookup of plugins and parameters

its been integrated with the core to enable opening plugins on startup, hotkeys, shortcuts

There is also a companion plugin in the viewers folder to allow you to run plugins using openwith
and a shortcut to the plugin in the apps folder that uses it to start the viewer in editor mode

in edit mode you can export shortcuts back to the file system and use them from the file browser as if you were in the plugin folder

Another use is doing things like making a shortcut that starts the text viewer and loads a specified file using the parameter field

Is there a “how to” on this somewhere? Thanks

How are you getting the absence of an icon for your separator? When I leave it blank it defaults to the first icon

thanks for checking - you should not see the error message anymore in the latest dev build (2debcf2c1f), or in any upcoming daily builds

Thanks. chris, is there a way to access the playlist file without a track first being played?

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

Hardware / Re: AIGO EROS Q / AIGO EROS K / IRULU Surfans F20 / AGPTek H3 / HIFI WALKER H2

I am attempting to install the hosted port on a HW3 version of this player. The link to prepatched V2.1 firmware gives a 404 error. I attempted to use Rockbox utility and the V2.1 firmware but the utility closes when I open the files.

Give it another try now, there was a typo in the filename of the file on the download server.

The link is still not working. But I was able to locate the file in the directory listing.

Oh, yeah my bad, I misread it and thought you were trying to install the native port. Glad you found it though!

Great work getting the bugs worked out, enjoyable read as it progressed. Question: Would it be possible at some point to have the option of assigning shortcuts to a Quickscreen button? I know we can replace the Quickscreen with Shortcuts, but it is great having the shuffle and repeat features close at hand, as well. I could forego the brightness buttons and add Shortcuts and something else, which I think would be great.

I'm a heavy user of shortcuts, with a long list of shortcuts to various settings, functions, files, directories, etc - all of which are sectioned into logical groups.  I have one section that includes Compressor Threshold, Volume, Treble, Bass, Balance, Shuffle, and Repeat, and another section that includes Brightness, Backlight on Hold, etc.  In order to keep things visually organized I use "type: separator" entries in my shortcuts.txt file that specify "name: -------------------" which separate the various sections of different groupings of shortcuts.  It's very handy (at least for my style of usage).

This is fantastic - I just now tried it and it works great.  My link file is currently up to 207 entries, so I very much appreciate the improved functionality.  Thanks a million!

Shortly after the last fix was released I noticed one additional relatively minor anomaly, but I chose to not mention it at that time because of all of the reworking that had already been done, for which I was (and still am) very grateful.  But today I bumped into it again so I thought I would mention it.

When I select one of the entries in my .link file, I get properly taken into the directory that the link points to.  If at that point I decide to exit back into the .link file's list of entries I press the RWD button.  That takes me back into the .link file's list of entries with the entry I had previously clicked still highlighted and scrolled into view.  But then immediately and automatically, the entry is unhighlighted, the list is scrolled so that the list's first entry is positioned at the top of the screen, and that first entry gets highlighted.  This is not a big deal if the list is short and/or if I had clicked on an entry near the top of the list.  But my link file has 75 entries and is still growing, so I wish the previously highlighted entry would remain highlighted and scrolled into view.

Sorry missed this..
