The *INF.PVR files describe the *DAT.PVR files from what I can see. I've just given them a quick look over - and all I've gleaned so far is that the the second dword in the file is the size of the DAT file in bytes. Additionally the 63rd dword is either equal to the 2nd (the file size) or the 4th,

Hi Daniel. Unfortunately making rockbox speak that particular piece of information is not possible simply by editing english.lang. However, if you tell me what type of MP3 player you are using, I could possibly make a customized build of Rockbox that would read out the time remaining. Will. On

Hey there Alex, glad to hear you're interested. A good place to start would be to grab a copy of the rockbox CVS source and modify it to add the functions you like. Once you've done that you could make a patch and submit it to the rockbox patch tracker

I've been advocating these patches on IRC, but I haven't actually gotten around to looking at them myself.I've made a point to actually compile a build with the splash screen enhancements, and I'll post back my thoughts once I've done this. Keep up the great work :)On 11/1/06, Paul Louden [EMAIL

I'm indifferent about the info screen talkativeness, but I really like the splash screen work, and a talking quick screen would be excellent.I really hope someone can find the time to look at these patches and commit them, I believe they would enhance the voice experience a significant amount.

Oh well, I preferred the name Rockblox anyway :)It is a worry though, these increasing claims - how long will it be before one of the many users of the word Rockbox (or similar) come after us - or do we have some kind of immunity on that one?

I'm in full support of this decision. When feature freeze wasn't in effect there were a lot of really interesting and cool new things being added, and honestly, the most interesting thing that's happened in the CVS logs in the past week has been some kind of solitaire bugfix (I play solitaire a

Hi Paul.I think the forums probably could do with a clean up, and most of the stuff you have suggested rings true, but I think the fact that you've designated sections to bug reporting and feature requests are not needed. I feel that it makes the bugs/feature requests far harder to track, as you'd

Hrm, you make many valid points Paul, especially on the fact that Flyspray doesn't really attract the same level of input as the forum does. I guess as long as the issues that are reported on the forums were transferred to flyspray once they were confirmed and discussed, it would keep everything

Bluechip, as far as I see, you're wasting your time here.You clearly stand nothing to gain, as you have made it completely clear that you aren't going to reveal your real name, and the rockbox team have made it just as clear that this is a requirement for the acceptance of your code. The only
