possibly redundant :type in defcustom about empv.el HOT 5 CLOSED

apologies for the broken link, I meant this one: (defcustom empv-display-current-format "[#{state}#{item-loop-indicator}, #{time-pos} of #{duration} (#{percent-pos}%), #{playlist-pos}/#{playlist-count}#{playlist-loop-indicator}#{radio}#{volume}#{speed}] #{title} #{chapter}" "Format of the message displayed when `empv-display-current' is called. This is a string representing the format or this can be an alist from file format to format string, like: \\='((\"hls\" . \"#{state} #{title} ...\") (\"mp3\" . \"#{state} #{title} ...\") ;; Multiple formats can be defined like this: (\"mkv,mp4\" . \"#{state} #{title} ...\") ;; Catch-all case: (t . \"#{state} #{title} ...\")) So that you can use different formats for different file types. Here are the template strings that you can utilize in the format string: - #{title} - Shows the title of the current media. - #{chapter} - Shows the current chapter of the media file being played. - #{state} - Shows one one of the following: Playing, Paused, Buffered... - #{time-pos} - Shows the current time of the media being played in MM:SS format. - #{duration} - Shows the total duration of the current media in MM:SS format. - #{percent-pos} - Shows the total completed percentage of the current media. - #{playlist-pos} - Shows the current media's position in the playlist. - #{playlist-count} - Shows the total item count in the current playlist. - #{item-loop-indicator} - Shows ↻ if the current file is on loop. - #{playlist-loop-indicator} - Shows ↻ if the current playlist is on loop. - #{radio} - Shows the current radio channel being played, if there is any. - #{volume} - Shows the current volume level in percentage, if it's different from 100%. - #{speed} - Shows the current volume level in percentage, if it's different from 100%." :type 'string :type '(choice (string :tag "Template format for all file types") (alist :key-type (string :tag "File format (like hls, mp3, mpv etc.)") :value-type (string :tag "Template format"))) :group 'empv) --

I think you can just drop the :type 'string. Here is what I was thinking; agreed defcustom is a somewhat hairy mess. I'll comment out the line I think you can delete with the prefix ;;;tvr:. Reason: The type is a choice, one of the choices is already 'string. (defcustom empv-display-current-format "[#{state}#{item-loop-indicator}, #{time-pos} of #{duration} (#{percent-pos}%), #{playlist-pos}/#{playlist-count}#{playlist-loop-indicator}#{radio}#{volume}#{speed}] #{title} #{chapter}" "Format of the message displayed when `empv-display-current' is called.
