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
-------------
The default configuration file must be located in the /.rockbox folder
of the evice and must be named default.wps (lowercase). Any other Custom
WPS files may be located anywhere on the drive. The only restriction
is that they must end in .wps
Tags
----
ID3 Info Tags:
%ia : ID3 Artist
%it : ID3 Track Title
%in : ID3 Track Number
%id : ID3 Album Name
File Info Tags:
%fb : File Bitrate (in kbps)
%ff : File Frequency (in Hz)
%fp : File Path
%fn : File Name (without extension)
%fm : File Name
%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.
%pp : Playlist Position
%pe : Total Number of Playlist Entries
%pc : Current Time In Song
%pr : Remaining Time In Song
%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 conditional
below). Only the first line with a %s will actually scroll.
%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 don't use a default.wps file, you get the hardcoded wps layout.
The default WPS screen is for player:
%s%pp/%pe: %?ia<%ia - >%?it<%it|%fm>
%pc/%pt
and for recorder:
%s%fp
%it
%id
%ia
%fb kbit %fv
Time: %pc / %pt
%pb
