FS#8078 - NSF playlist support
|
DetailsThis patch adds support for NSF (Nintendo songs) playlists, as generated by Winamp. Each .nsf file has multiple tracks in it, and a playlist allows Rockbox to select one of those tracks per playlist entry. Therefore you can now have all the individual tracks of all of your .nsf files listed in a playlist, and randomize between them, or whatever. Basically it lets you treat each track as a separate song, as you can do with other file types. THIS WORKS BEST WITH .NSFE files, not .NSF
File format is as follows: For track 4 of Zelda.nsf, the entry would be: nsf://4:/pathto/Zelda.nsf (note lowercase "nsf") specifically, in my directory setup it looks like this: nsf://4:/NES/Zelda.nsfe To create such a list in Winamp, you must add support for NSF files, add an NSF file to your playlist and do File Info and hit Shadow -> Winamp or Shadow -> File. This will create the entries in the playlist for each track. You can then save the playlist and make sure the paths are okay for your Rockbox setup. Todo: Figure out how to get a non-magic number (array size) in playlist.h Possibly increase the codecs.h API version (not sure what this does to the rest of the code) (probably a separate patch) Make Rockbox load each .nsf as its constituent tracks, rather than one playlist entry that you FF or REW through. |
This task depends upon
Basically, playback is crippled on my device insofar as when I play any NSF file the controls and display sort of lock up. By "sort of" I mean that I can seek (change) the tracks within the file (as denoted by the progress bar or track number) but the music won't change to reflect that, and there is a lag. Additionally, there is a very long delay if I try to exit the WPS and enter the file browser or even pause playback. I have also begun to experience strange playback issues such as the track starting over again or pausing briefly (the playback indicator actually displays itself as being paused, without my intervention). Disk activity is also rampant, for no discenible reason.
FS#8379applied to potentially increase battery life) and now from my usual tests and evaluation NSF playback is rock solid! Strange...
