Good point, I didn't think about that. But this is also a good reason why we don't want to simply use playlist_peek() in the WPS code without careful thinking, as it could introduce a whole lot of file reading... > We can certainly cache this information in a different location if wanted > but I don't see anything wrong with leaving it in the mp3entry struct. If we want to display the next-song path in the WPS using the playlist_peek() function, we would need to cache that info somewhere. I thought a bit more about the next-song WPS display, and I think I need to add an option that prevents the next-song info from being available until at most N seconds before the end of a song. Otherwise the info about the next song might show up too early, especially for those who use the 8mb mod. I personally would like next-song info to appear only during perhaps the last 10 seconds or so. -- Daniel Stenberg -- http://rockbox.haxx.se/ -- http://daniel.haxx.se/Received on 2004-01-16 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
