Hey, why not use the [note] button to trigger the mp3 mode?

Hey, why not use the [note] button to trigger the mp3 mode?

I'll add that to next version. I make it a config setting.
Currently making the whole thing more mature (e.g. better separation from mapthis it self). And I've added a few config file settings for e.g. music folder, album information duration (that message box popping up).

And few more changes......

Hopefully I can post the latest rev in a few more days.

Cheers.

no sub folders

I've made two more small updates:

• Second line in POI can now be 90 characters. I noticed that directions from Google Maps often don't fit, and last week this made me miss a turn, having to drive 40km extra ;
• Support for _DEFAULT POI file, which loads at startup. This may be very handy if you always want to see where the speed cameras are
  
  • Put this file in /PSP/COMMON to load it for every map;
  • Put it in a map folder for specific folders only.

I've done some work lately on the mp3 mod for MapThis and as usual I like to share it.

Changelog:

• fixed a bug in the mp3player when resuming song (embarrassing)
• added icons for play, pause, stop, play mode(rnd/seq)
• fixed bug with "circle button" interfering with marker in "marker mode"
• added these config settings (please see config.txt for values):
  
  • MUSICDIR: music directory
  • SHOWSONGINFODURATION: how long should the song info display (the popup message)
  • INITPLAYMODE: start up play mode, random or sequential
  • AUTOEXITAFTER: auto exits MP3 after given seconds
  • USEBIGSONGINFO: this is a experimental idea I had. Which basically displays a bigger song info. The message box uses bigger font and "animates" in and out of the screen after X seconds. The somewhat smaller default song information message was a bit hard to read while driving.

Todo:

• remap "MP3" mode button to "NOTE" (needs kernel mode as I understand)
• finish cleanup of code and some improvements on the mp3 player itself
• maybe a simpe playlist editor/builder mode allowing adding/removing songs from the playlist.

Hopefully somebody with skills in photoshop/gimp wants to improve player icons or make better integrated "look" with the rest of mapthis application,that would be highly appreciated by me. As my "creative design" skills with gimp are rather lame :-)


Tech info:
I've started the restructuring/cleanup process of the code. At the moment almost all code
is moved out of mapthis it self. So the source is a bit messy now, but since I'll be away
for sometime I liked to release this version and get some feedback.

Cheers

No, not at the moment.
But since he have released the source, it should be easy to include the mp3player to his version.
Give it some time and I might have a version that includes his features as well. However I'm aiming to have the whole mp3 extension as a PRX, to minize the required changes within mapThis. And to allow mapthis to use different version of the mp3player extension as it progress and improves.

Nieko: I guess it's Ok to integrate with your version?

[*] remap "MP3" mode button to "NOTE" (needs kernel mode as I understand)

Done for me to test this, no Problem to switch the mp3 mode on or off with the "Note" button.

My PSP (Generic Version on M3.52#4M33) is freezing when i add your additional config lines to my config.txt.
When i use yours it works.
I think there is a problem problem reading the config to get all the neccessary values, or not ? Because i have some additional lines in my config.txt from my version.
I copied my complete version and overwrite only the eboot and add the config values.

bug/feature ??
I stop playing with "Square" (in mp3 mode) and go pack to the maps with "Select". Select an map with "X" and immediatly the player begins to play.

How are the files/folders sorted ?
I hear often audiobooks and the player begins erverytime with the second file.
My files are named with the tracknumber at the beginning (01xx, 02xx, etc.).

:thumbup:
No more audio breakes when you change the zoom level.
Animation and folder picture are cool, and auto-off mp3 mode is working fine.
Go ahead with your Mod.

Sure, go ahead, that's the great thing about open source .

Btw., when developing a PRX version, you might want to look at irsmp3.prx, which is an MP3 plugin I'm using with MapThis. It also uses the note button as a "hot button" for commands.
