Code to obtain playback file name
« on: 29 / July / 2008, 00:17:01 »

There are two parts to this change:

  • The function get_playback_filename() declared in platform.h, which returns the file name of the currently viewed item.
  • The memory search program which looks for the address of the playback file name. You trigger this by the new menu item "Debug parameters -> Memory browser", and it loops through the memory, searching for a hard coded string.

One potential improvement is to store the search string in a file instead of hard code it. That way if you don't need to recompile if you want to look for a different string. But I figured that if you are looking for memory addresses, you are very likely to be a programmer, so recompiling shouldn't be a big deal.

Using the memory search program, I found two useful addresses: one for the playback filename, one for the corresponding thumbnail. I only added get_playback_filename(), and I can add one for the thumbnail as well, if there is interest.

Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

looked into this (and My modifications to CHDK), i think i will integrate this some day into the branch. the possible use would definitly be in ubasic: for playback you can now check if there is an avi or a jpg shown. this will allow to finally have extended slideshow features and automatic video playback (doesnt work on a620 for example). also cyril42e's features stand out in a great fashion, as he already utilizes his finding in a nice function.

however, finding the right adresses for other cameras will be very difficult, since these adresses are stored in ram. your function to find the adresses sure is a nice way for experienced coders, but the average guy wont be able to use it (btw, cant you just compare the string to *.jpg instead of a distinct jpg? this way you dont need to hardwire a string). maybe some skilled ASM guys (ewavr? :D) can find a generic way to get all the needed adresses via the dumps & IDA.

Interesting idea to look for *.JPG instead of the actual file name. I searched for a movie because that way I can tell the file name address vs thumbnail address. I can change it to look for *.AVI instead.

Hi,

I've been using chiuki's code to search for "A/DCIM".  When I find it I write out the entire string at that address.
Code: [Select]
    for (addr = START_ADDRESS; addr < END_ADDRESS; addr += 0x1) {
    if (memcmp(search_string, addr, len) == 0) {
    sprintf(buf, "0x%08X %-30s", addr, addr);
    draw_txt_string(X_POSITION, y, buf, OUTPUT_COLOR);
    found = 1;
    y = y + 1;
    }
    }


On my A570is and A720is there seem to be two places that always hold the filename of the current image and 5-6 other places that hold filenames of nearby images. My guess is that the second area is a stash of images read into ram either previously or anticipated to be viewed.

One thing that I did not find was a directory for all the images on disk.

Jon
