PRS+: Enhanced firmware for Sony Reader, Folders, Games & more

Just for the records.

Following code form fskcache.xs looks promising to extract more tags from mp3

	this.FskCache.audio.fromFile = function (path, mime, player) {
		var local, value, thumbnail, art, bitmap, bounds;
		<global>.FskCache.media.fromFile.call(this, path, mime);
		try {
			if (!player) {
				local = player = new <global>.Media.Player.File(path, mime);
			}
			value = player.getMetaData('FullName');
			if (value) {
				this.title = value;
			}
			value = player.getMetaData('Album');
			if (value) {
				this.album = value;
			}
			value = player.getMetaData('Artist');
			if (value) {
				this.artist = value;
			}

But atm no time/interest to look further into this.

from some reasons I cannot post to the "issues" page (submit issue button does not activate). I hope not to annoy anyone by doing it here then.

950 / analogus nightly 50

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.bind toggle touch screen to key
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected is that touchscreen can be disabled/enabled. I have tried to bind to long press option and long press vol+. Neither changes touchscreen function (have tried the global and other options). I have not tried any other key (I would prefer mostly long press option for this).

If I recall correctly keybinding just binds certain functions to keys it does not disable any function. If you want to affect the touch screen go to the "Touch Settings" menu, it is on the second page of the PRS+ Settings menu.

Is there a way to put the 650 in sleep mode with either the touch of the screen or using a different button? That way, it would mean the power button would be used about 50% less.

[Ripplinger]

What I did was to set the timer to go to sleep after 5 minutes. For myself, I never set my reader down that long between pages, so it's been working fine.

On another note, the auto page turning feature is pretty nice, but instead of just having 10 second increments as your only selection, would there be any way to make it so you set your own interval, like 8 seconds, 12 seconds, etc? While the feature is pretty nice, I find the current selections either too short or too long. To use it regularly, I'd have to be able to select my own interval.

It doesn't work.

Hi Mark,

I don't think that works to get the contents of other tags, just the ones the developers wanted (plus a couple of others they didn't end up using). But I could be wrong. It's been a while since I was looking into this...

Sincerely,
Ben.

dwanthny:

The 'touch on/off' - option can be assigned to a button. I use it since long assigned to a long press onto the option-button. Working flawless in my case (350). There should be a screen-note (popup) informing you when the scrren is switched on/off.

JSWOLF:
Yes you can. Just assign the 'sleepmode'-action to a button/swipe.

Have tried it again on my 950 - long press option key. No popup and no toggle action.

Having a little issue that I hope someone can help with

Under the Browse Folders options I have selected "by filename shown as comment" as my sorting method.

When I go into the "browse folders" option and go into the internal memory everything works correct. I see the full filename is shown under it as a comment. However when I go into either "SD card" or "SD card via mount" (with the SD Card Scan disabled) it does not show the file name as a comment. I'm pretty sure that this used to work on my old ebook reader but using a PRS-650 (firmware: PRS+ 2.0.18) it doesn't.

Does anyone now if I am missing a step to have this work?



Thanks

[kartu]

Need to check. There was no intentional change like that.

Hi

Maybe someone can help me.
I try to manipulate STYLE.CSS on the fly with actions in PRS+.
I do this like that with Core.shell.exec:

Core.shell.exec('echo "head, html, body, tittle, p, div, ul, dl {line-height:100% !important}" >> /Data/database/system/PRSPlus/epub/style.css')

This functions well. But when I try to use commands with ' ' inside Core.shell.exec this does not work:

Core.shell.exec('whatever command 'text' whatever command')

For example:

Core.shell.exec('cat /Data/database/system/PRSPlus/epub/style.css | \ sed -e '/text to search/d' > /Data/database/system/PRSPlus/epub/style.css');

Reason is clear - the ' ' inside the command interrupt the outer ' '.
Any solution?

Thank you!

[Mark Nord]

Hi Analogus,

easiest would be to utilize the the fact, that JavaScripts accepts both, single and double-quotes.

So while using double-quotes "" to define a string, you can use single-quotes within.

Core.shell.exec("whatever command 'text' whatever command")

Or why not do it with higher-level code

like:

var mycontent, cssPath;
mycontent = "sometext " + "'some quoted text'" + "some other text";
cssPath = "/Data/database/system/PRSPlus/epub/style.css";
Core.io.setFileContent (cssPath, mycontent);

One can also think of using some templates with placeholders like #fontSize# aso

then

var mycontent, cssPath, fontSize;
cssPath = "/Data/database/system/PRSPlus/epub/";
mycontent = Core.io.getFileContent(cssPath+"template.css");
fontSize = someOptionValue ? someOptionValue+"%" : someDefaultValue;
mycontent.replace(/#fontSize#/g, fontSize);
...
Core.io.setFileContent (cssPath+"style.css", mycontent);

[Analogus]

Thank you. This helps very much!

Another question:
How do you call an external *.js-script from within an function?
Script is in say /Data/.../scripts/

Hi there,

I have tried to fix this issue. There was certainly some program logic errors in the existing code which I have (hopefully) fixed. However, I have not yet tested this with SD Card Scan disabled. I had already noticed that there were problems even with SD Card Scan enabled (especially with archives). These are now fixed, so hopefully the changes will also work with SD Card Scan disabled.

To test, you will need to do a custom build, or wait for Analogus to update his personal builds.

Sincerely,
Ben.
