Setting an alarm
First select a track and play it, then launch the “alarmclock” plugin. The plugin pauses
the playback. Enter a 24h-time (e.g. 13:58) and set the alarm. Music playback will
resume when the set time is reached.
12.4.2. Battery Benchmark
The
Battery Benchmark
plugin enables you to test your battery’s performance whilst
using your player normally. Results can be submitted to the
wiki
page.
How it works
Once loaded,
Battery Benchmark
runs in the background recording various informa-
tion about your battery to memory. A new point is written to memory every minute.
Every time the disk is accessed for any reason (such as refilling the audio buffer, open-
ing a directory or entering USB mode etc.) then the information in memory is written
to disk. Once the memory becomes full (after many hours), then the data are written
to disk anyway. This is done so that the data are not biased by excessive additional
disk accesses.
The file is written to the root directory of your player and is called
battery_bench.txt
. The plugin will continue to log info until:
•
Another plugin is loaded.
•
The player is shut down.
•
The battery is empty.
Benchmarks can be resumed if you accidentally load a plugin, or turn off your player,
so long as the log file
battery_bench.txt
is not deleted.
