Wasabi Menu

Wasabi is MustardOS' integrated media player for video, audio, playlists, live television, and live radio. Its menus use the active MustardOS theme, with bookmarks, playback controls, visual options, and media information kept in the same familiar interface.

Assign Wasabi to supported media through Core Assignment, then press MENU while something is playing to open the Wasabi Menu.

Menu Options

Bookmarks Playlists Settings Information Supported Formats

Visible Options

Resume

Close the menu and return to playback.

Bookmarks

Save named positions in video or audio, then return to them later. This is hidden for live streams.

Tracks, Episodes, or Channels

Move between entries in the current playlist, or between the songs inside a chiptune, SID, or game music file. The name changes to match the loaded content and only appears when more than one entry is available.

Content Switch

Switch directly to recent Pickles or Wasabi content without returning to Content Explorer first.

Settings

Adjust the picture, sound, display, visualisers, shortcuts, live-stream buffer, and playback behaviour.

Equaliser

Shape the sound with sliders for the preamp and ten bands from 31 Hz to 16 kHz, each from -12 dB to +12 dB in 0.25 dB steps. Left and Right pick a slider, Up and Down move it, and L1 and R1 step through the built-in profiles: Flat, Bass Boost, Treble Boost, Vocal, Rock, Pop, Jazz, Classical, Electronic, Spoken Word, Small Speakers, Headphones, Loudness, and Late Night. Y saves your own profile under a generated name you can change, X removes a saved profile, and A plays or pauses so you can hear each change. Leaving asks whether to keep the equaliser for This Content, This Directory, or This Session Only.

Quick Tips

  • Hold MENU while a Wasabi screen is open to peek at the media underneath it.

  • Live television channels can be changed with D-Pad Up and D-Pad Down without opening the menu.

  • Live television and radio keep playing while the Wasabi Menu is open.

  • Repeat and Shuffle can be changed from their assigned hotkeys. Their glyphs appear beneath the audio progress bar or at the edge of video playback.

  • When playback reaches the end, Wasabi stays open on the final picture or audio screen until you choose what happens next.
