reorg of mythmusic LCD info

[leo@…]

I have a 4x40 LCD and still the artist-track info won't fit on a single line on quite a few occaissions. This inspired me to go looking for display space. I combined the InfoWidget and the ProgressBar on a single line. Worst case, the InfoWidget contains something like "S:? R:1 ". As you see I condensed the info a bit. Also, speaking for myself, I don't have must use for shuffle with repeat anyway ;-) The attached patch gives the following LCD info (dependent on the number of lines) For 2-line displays:

<ArtistAlbumTitle> <Elapse/Remaining Time>

For 3-line displays:

<ArtistAlbumTitle> <Elapse/Remaining Time> <Info+ProgressBar>

For displays with more than 3 lines:

<ArtistAlbum> <Title> <Elapse/Remaining Time> <Info+ProgressBar>

I also added some code to clear the widgets before displaying them. This prevents that at the start of a song you are presented with the info of the previous song.

Sigh, reformat the example part of the comment...

For 2-line displays:
       <ArtistAlbumTitle> 
       <Elapse/Remaining Time> 
For 3-line displays:
       <ArtistAlbumTitle> 
       <Elapse/Remaining Time>
       <Info+ProgressBar> 
For displays with more than 3 lines:
       <ArtistAlbum>
       <Title>
       <Elapse/Remaining Time>
       <Info+ProgressBar>

Looks good and i like it, but at least the second line in my 4x20 LCD doesn't scroll anymore with this Patch.

If the Title of an song is longer than 20 I cannot read the whole Title.

I think I found out why scrolling no longer works, I should have used assignScrollingList() instead of assignScrollingText(). I will see if I can update the patch tonight.

Glad you like it though ;-)

OK, assignScrollingList() will not do the job either. It seems that there is no provision for scrolling multiple widgets on a screen - except for the special menu-screens. I will see if I can rewrite the scrollingText stuff to scroll on multiple widgets. This is quite a bit more work though.... To be continued ;-)

[leo@…]

Here is an updated patch. This patch contains both the reformat changes for the LCD music screen and code to scroll multiple widgets on the same screen. I replaced the assignScrollingText/scrollText/beginScrollingText function by a new combo: assignScrollingWidgets/formatScrollingWidgets/beginScrollingWidgets/scrollWidgets.

I'll take a look at this after 0.19 is out.

scrollwidgest breakes my mythmusic.

It works here for svn#9062. Since you didn't specify what went wrong, I assume running 'make clean; make' in both the mythtv and the mythplugins tree will fix the problem.

(In [9150]) Close #1010 - Apply patch to reorganise mythmusic LCD info.

Changes the API in libmyth so bumping the binary version. Requires a make clean of the pluggins at least.
