[Dtb-talk] SD Card Label on Stream

[Jim Barbour]

So, the card labeling feature is not new to 3.1, I think it first came
out in 3.0

However, the 3.1 release appears to have broken this feature.

The short version appears to be that when running the 3.1 firmware, if
you insert a card, or turn on your stream, your card will be scanned.
If the scan takes "too long", the stream will say "please wait" and
also do something to get in the way of reading the $VRLabel.txt file.

So, if you have a lot of stuff on your card, likely you'll hear
"please wait", and so won't hear the label file being read.

The document says that NOTEPAD can be used to create the file. The file is named $vrlabel.txt. I used my Braille Sense Plus to create this text file on a 32 gigabyte secure digital card but the Stream doesn't voice it. The file is pure ASCII. Any ideas why this feature doesn't work?
