Custom WPS Display File Format Specifications Description / General Info -------------------------- * The Custom WPS Display is used on both the Rockbox Player and Recorder, as a means to customize the WPS to the user's likings. * After editing the .wps file, "play" it to make it take effect. * The file may be 2 lines long for the Player, and 10 lines for the Recorder. * The line that has the time displayed on it MUST NOT be the line that is scrolled, or the time will not be updated. * All characters not preceded by % are displayed as typed. File Location ------------- Custom WPS files may be located anywhere on the drive. The only restriction is that they must end in .wps. When you PLAY a .wps file, it'll be used for the future WPS screens. If the "played" wps file is located in the /.rockbox folder, it'll be remembered and used for subsequent restarts. Filenames in the /.rockbox folder must be no more than 24 characters long. Tags ---- (Options marked (*) have been added after the last official release, and are thus only available in daily builds.) ID3 Info Tags: %ia : ID3 Artist %id : ID3 Album Name %ig : ID3 Genre Name (*) %in : ID3 Track Number %it : ID3 Track Title %iy : ID3 Year %iv : ID3 Version (1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 or empty if no id3 tag) (*) Battery Info: %bl : Show numeric battery level in percent (*) %bt : Show estimated battery time left (*) File Info Tags: %fb : File Bitrate (in kbps) %ff : File Frequency (in Hz) %fm : File Name %fn : File Name (without extension) %fp : File Path %fs : File Size (In Kilobytes) %fv : "(vbr)" if variable bit rate or "" if constant bit rate %d1 : First directory from end of file path. %d2 : Second directory from end of file path. %d3 : Third directory from end of file path. Example for the the %dN commands: If the path is "/Rock/Kent/Isola/11 - 747.mp3", %d1 is "Isola", %d2 is "Kent"... You get the picture. Playlist/Song Info Tags: %pb : Progress Bar Player: This will display a 1 character "cup" that empties as the progresses. Recorder: This will replace the entire line with a progress bar. %pc : Current Time In Song %pe : Total Number of Playlist Entries %pm : Peak Meter (Recorder only) The entire line is used as volume peak meter. %pn : Playlist Name (Without path or extension) %pp : Playlist Position %pr : Remaining Time In Song %ps : Shuffle. Shows 's' if shuffle mode is enabled. %pt : Total Track Time Conditional Tags (If/Else block): %?xx<|> : Conditional: if the tag specified by "xx" has a value, the text between the "<" and the "|" is displayed, else the text between the "|" and the ">" is displayed. The else part is optional, so the "|" does not have to be specified if no else part is desired. The conditionals nest, so the text in the if and else part can contain all % commands, including conditionals. Other Tags: %% : Display a '%' %< : Display a '<' %| : Display a '|' %> : Display a '>' %s : Indicate that the line should scroll. Can occur anywhere in a line (given that the text is displayed; see conditionals above). You can specify up to 10 scrolling lines (*). %s is ignored if combined with %pb, %pc or %pr on the same line (the result wouldn't be good anyway). Example File ------------ %s%?in<%in - >%?it<%it|%fn> %?ia<[%ia%?id<, %id>]> %pb%pc/%pt That is, "tracknum - title [artist, album]", where most fields are only displayed if available. Could also be rendered as "filename" or "tracknum - title [artist]". Default ------- If you haven't selected a .wps file in the .rockbox directory, you get the hardcoded wps layout. The default WPS screen is for player: %s%pp/%pe: %?ia<%ia - >%?it<%it|%fm> %pc%pb%pt and for recorder: %s%fp %it %id %ia %fb kbit %fv Time: %pc / %pt %pb %pm
