Date: Sat, 2 Jul 2005 19:54:42 +0100 Hi, Wonder can anyone help. For the past couple of days my Arcos recorder no longer speaks the file names only the directory names. I.e I can scroll through my albbums/books but when I right arrow to open the tree nothing happens. Also when I go to recent bookmarks I enter on the desired bookmark only to be taken to the root directory on the drive. If I enter on a directory I'm invited to create a playlist and with a bit of messing about I can get the relevant directory to play. Also the resume from start up still works which is a god send. Hope someone can help.

Obviously, Rockbox by its nature won't deal with any encrypted files (I don't know if the iRiver firmware does?). In theory, Rockbox could include support for unencrypted WMA files, but the only open source WMA decoder uses floating-point maths. The Coldfire processor on the iRiver doesn't have a floating-point unit, so all floating point maths is "emulated" in software. Which means decoding will be _really_ slow - i.e. not real-time. The solution will be to rewrite the open source WMA decoder to use integer or fixed-point maths, but no-one has (yet) shown any interest in doing that. If anyone is interested, the WMA decoder in question is part of the "ffmpeg" library. I may at some point try and integrate that decoder into Rockbox, as motivation for someone to rewrite it, but obviously I want to work on getting the existing codecs working properly first.

The H3x0 series can, with a firmware upgrade. the H1x0 series cannot. I don't know if this is a deficiency of the hardware (the lack of usb2go would be about the only difference that could have an effect like this, afaik), or if it's just something iriver want to be able to push newer units with. Pity protected WMA9 specs don't appear to be included in the stuff the EU commission are trying to get opened up. Of course, MS are fighting tooth and nail to prevent open-source from being able to use ANY specs they release. > If anyone is interested, the WMA decoder in question is part of the > "ffmpeg" library. > > I may at some point try and integrate that decoder into Rockbox, as > motivation for someone to rewrite it, but obviously I want to work on > getting the existing codecs working properly first. After all, one could just reencode the files as FLAC, and at least, not suffer any MORE loss :). There are some ways (unfortunately, potentially lossy unless you're using digital the entire way) to do this with even protected wma's. and sometimes you get the chance to burn it to cd, at which point, the game is practically over.

If i just boot straight into Rockbox I can browse files but can't play them. I don't even get any WPS, just a blank screen. Every time I turn on my ihp-120 I have to first boot the iRiver fw, turn off, and imediately boot Rockbox (btw, when I do it this way I get a reassuring "thumb" on the headphones when Rockbox boots, otherwise just silence). I suspect there is some audio initialization that is not being done correctly but that this is only aparent in some batch of players. Linus has replied that I can't reproduce this on his H140, but what about other people? I wanted to figure out if there is a pattern here, i.e. is it only ihp-120s or is it player bought in specific batch? Mine is a iHP-120, bought about 1.5 years ago in the UK, barcode 503340040300220. I'm using fw 1.65US patched with booloader 2. My idea to collect data from people who experience this problem to try to identify what causes it and possibly correct it.
