Nit: Tweak Display Template

[tvraman]

Suggestion For Info Line Display

The new template is nice, I can now put the title in front.

There is still the minor annoyance of HLS live streams displaying a somewhat irrelevant chapter and percentage, best shown with an example.

Stream: BBC Radio 4 Displays: [radio-4-bbc.m3u Playing, 00:06 of 00:19 (34%), 1/1, 🔊 50] m3u file below:

EXTINF:-1,BBC - Radio 4

http://as-hls-ww-live.akamaized.net/pool_904/live/ww/bbc_radio_fourfm/bbc_radio_fourfm.isml/bbc_radio_fourfm-audio%3d96000.norewind.m3u8

What's the value of your empv-display-current-format? And which part in

[radio-4-bbc.m3u Playing, 00:06 of 00:19 (34%), 1/1, 🔊 50]

you find that irrelevant? Simply excluding #{chapter} from the template should get rid of the chapter information and I don't see the chapter information in the example you gave. Am I missing something?

[tvraman]

Current value: empv-display-current-format' "[#{title} #{volume} #{state}#{item-loop-indicator}, #{time-pos} of

{duration} (#{percent-pos}%),

{playlist-pos}/#{playlist-count}#{playlist-loop-indicator}#{radio}#{speed}]

{chapter}"

Note that my playlist has only one entry -- what you see displayed [radio-4-bbc.m3u , 🔊 125 Playing, 00:05 of 00:19 (26%), 1/1] the 00:05 of 00:19 is the current fragment they're streaming; HLS basically streams the live streams as a sequence of small segments. --

What would be the solution for this? Should #{time-pos} ${duration} and ${percent-pos} evaluate to empty string if it's an HLS fragment?

Sorry for the late reply.

That would be one possibility since those hls fragment numbers and duration values are irrelevant to the user.

I thought about this a little bit and found out that evaluating some values to empty string in case of HLS format causes more problems than it fixes. So I went ahead and changed how empv-display-current-format works. Now, it can be an alist from file formats to display template so that you can change the template based on file format if you want. Let me know if it works for you.

thanks will give it a try. --
