With last entries.

Using latest build from git.

Sometimes if I pause, then try to resume, no playback occurs.
The WPS screen will show the pause icon turn to a play icon, but nothing will be heard in the headphones, and the “current time” indication won’t advance.
Seeking doesn’t help, nor does going back to the main menu and trying to resume playback from there.
The only solution I found is restarting the device.

I’ve had this happen while waiting a few seconds after pausing, and also while waiting a few minutes.

This mp3 causes the database creation/update to crash gives error:

I used MP3 Scan + Repair and it had no issues with the file. Checked the tags to see if there was anything crazy, nothing seems off about the file. It’s in an album of 22 songs and this is the only which caused an error.
I also redownloaded the file from the source to see if it wasn’t complete.

Using daily build 89c7a4e393-200807 downloaded from the website.

Whenever I start playback of media, and sometimes when I pause-then-play during playback, I hear a short “screech” distortion.
I have tested this with mp3 and opus files.

This my first time using the device, so I can’t comment on whether it’s a regression.
My previous device was Sansa e200, and I never had this issue.

Most targets support various sample rates (44.1 and 48 are the ones that matter the most) but the main playback app initializes the internal mixer to the “target default” and never changes it, even if the optimal rate is something the player can natively support!

HAVE_PLAY_FREQ allows the playback engine to choose the mixer rate on the fly based on the file metadata. More targets should probably enable this!

Rockbox’s file viewer has a global sort setting.

It would be nice to have a default global sort setting, but also persistent per-directory sort settings.

For my use-case, it makes sense for me to sort my podcast directory by date, but I wouldn’t want that to affect my music directories, which should play files sorted by name.
Whenever I wish to play music, I need to go back to the general settings, and change the sort settings. And when I’m done and wish to listen to podcasts, I have to change it again.

On my X3, it triggers the MIPS equivalent of a segfault. (directory has 792 entries, tried to access it with only 500 allowed)

Rather than crashing outright, I think it would be better to detect this and somehow error out gracefully?

Playing APE 24/44.1 with harsh noise in different parts of the track. If you decode APE file to WAV using the codec console, then there are no problems. So the matter is in the player’s APE decoder.

At 24/48 everything is fine.

Playing 320K MP3s pauses often in Version 3.15 and daily build 7d00533 also UI becomes unresponsive
Version 3.14 or older does not reproduce the issue in either 44 or 48khz sampling rate and same sound options
Is not reproducible under OF or Version 3.15 running on IPOD 6G
seems to be a cpu usage issue as compiling a version of rockbox with much higher than stock CPU clocks seems to alleviate the issue to an extent but there is still occasional pauses that is not present after reverting to 3.14 and stock 80 mhz clock speed.

Right now if the voice file fails to load, there’s a splash message but blind users won’t be able to see it.

(usually this happens because they upgraded rockbox without upgrading the voice file too)

It would be useful if we could embed a failsafe voice file, containing only that one prompt, so the user will know what is going on.

Just English for now, though ideally one for every language we support.

(Oh, and a pony too. Please?)

Hello there,

When I reboot my Rockboxed iPod nano second generation, it changes the time +5 hours.

Does anyone know why this can be? Thanks

Neither of the tools, ipodpatcher or Rockbox Utility 1.4.0, work on macOS Catalina.

Catalina removed 32bit support.

Using ipodpatcher generates the following error:

bash-3.2$ ./ipodpatcher
bash: ./ipodpatcher: Bad CPU type in executable

And Rockbox Utility has a white circle with a line through it indicating that it does not work with this version of the OS.

(see attached file)

I store the album art by putting a folder.jpg file in the album's directory.
Any WPS on other players shows the cover pictures properly if album art is enabled in the theme.

I am aware of caveats like progressive jpgs, that are not supported by RB.

In the attached zip file, there are four directories with a folder.jpg file and a free opus file for demonstration purposes.

All pictures show up fine on my Sansa E200 (v1) using CabbieV2 or lebellium_Samsung-like.
However, on my XduOO x3ii the pictures are not displayed for the examples 1 - 3, but show for example 4.

None of the jpgs are progressive and I cannot figure out a difference between 1-3 and 4.

I don't know how to debug this further myself, but would be happy doing any furter experiments.

This is true for the current dev builds, e.g. b450707955.

I would like to run my iPod with its keypad locked all the time, thus I wrote a little patch to an option to disable the settings reset during startup regardless of the hold button's position.

You will find the patch attached to this message. I'm not entirely convinced by the name of the new option (or my wording in general) so if you have a better idea, feel free to rename things.

Reported Version: 3.15 not 3.14

Hello,

I am using a "SanDisk Sansa Clip+" and it seems that currently it is not possible to remove quickscreen entries when they are set, you can only overwrite them.

In the manual chapter "3.15 Quick Screen" has to be adapted, once this function has been implemented.

It would be very nice to have this possibility!

In summary playing ALAC will crash the unit, other codecs not as much. My reasoning is (as contained in the forum post):

Converting some of my ALAC collection to FLAC to test has given excellent results = no crashes. I am suspicious of the ALAC decoder; watching the VIEW BUFFERING THREAD there seems to be consistency:

OGG/MP3/FLAC/WAV: CPU Frequency goes up to 124 until pcm: becomes full, then drops to 45mhz and pcm: hovers (it is always active) near the top of 100%. Upon track change the cycle starts again (124mhz until pcm: becomes full). I don't seem to get crashes.

ALAC: CPU Frequency goes up to 124 until pcm: becomes full, then drops to 45mhz and pcm: quickly goes down (takes about 2 seconds) to 75%, then cpu switches to 124mhz to get pcm: back up to 100%. This goes on constantly (cpu high - low cycle) while a single track/file is playing. I am now believing this cpu going up and down constantly gives me the crashes. Note on crashes: I don't know when they will happen, sometimes after a minute or two, sometime after 10 minutes , there is no pattern I can tell.

I am trying to build Rockbox for Sony NWZ-380 from Git repo, commit ce0b31d87db3c4c1c1bfb535c50770d33e9c4aaf.
arm-elf-eabi-gcc version 5.4.0, ARM binutils 2.30.
Everything goes smooth until just the latest step where this happens:

… LD duke3d.ovl
LD bmp.ovl
LD jpeg.ovl
LD png.ovl
LD ppm.ovl
LD gif.ovl
LD rockbox.elf
/usr/libexec/gcc/arm-elf-eabi/ld: section .ARM.exidx VMA [00000000600a9548,00000000600a954f] overlaps section .bss VMA [00000000600a7f20,00000000600ff773]

I'm using Rockbox on my NWZ-384 for a couple of years now and there were no problems building it in the past. I also was very glad that NWZ-380 port reached stable status in 3.14,
but now something seems to be broken (not terrible it seems, just requires some adjustments to the linker scripts but still).

I have an iPod 4G Grayscale (model A1059) running Rockbox 3.14 with an Apple FM remote (model A1187). The remote part works ok (Play/Select and Fwd/Rev buttons work - volume control is separate due to it being connected to the line out, but works).

However, the radio menu does not show up in the main menu when connected. Not when I boot with the remote connected, not when I connect it after booting, and not if I go to a different menu and then back.

In the debugging menu, it simply says that the FM tuner hardware is not found.

I am sure that this used to work at some point. Are there known regressions?

I primarily use my unit for audio books while driving, but the latest build (as I write this) won't play one of the files properly. It tries to start, stuck at 0:00. Trying to seek hangs the player altogether, requiring a hard restart.

I've recreated this problem on a flaky Clip+ and an AGPTek Rocker.

The 'file' tool identifies it as: ISO Media, MP4 v2 [ISO 14496-14]

Here's what mplayer has to say (while playing it back properly):

[lavf] stream 0: audio (aac), -aid 0, -alang eng

Click on the music file and die

Rockboxutility barfs while creating talk files if it encounters unpronouncable charicters (japanese kanji) and does not continue afterwords resulting in talk files not being copied to the player.

I think commit 1654efc31339972d0e6bd41a499fcffc0a45822e introduces the following error:

   return 0;

Rockbox starts with remote, but doesn't respond to button presses except turning backlight on with build 6039eb05b-180313.
It works with deaeb73-161114 though.

I use a 64 GB MicroSD card in my Clip Zip and the stock firmware recognizes it. Rockbox recognizes it in the debug disk info screen and when connected to a computer via USB, I can read and write it through rockbox. However, when I try to access it or when I just check the regular rockbox info, rockbox does not show the SD card, nor can I play music from it.

The bug is also present in the current development version and is overall very similar to this one: https://www.rockbox.org/tracker/11798

I tried reinstalling rockbox and reformatting the SD card, but nothing worked.

Bug exists in the DEV builds for, at least, Sansa Clip+, Sansa Fuze+, and iPod Video for at least a year, although I cannot confirm this as I've only just now tracked down the problem. The issue was discovered because imagemagick occasionally selects 1x2,1x2,1x2 as the chroma sampling factor when converting an image.

To recreate this bug, convert any image using imagemagick to a JPEG with that chroma sampling factor and attempt to view it in Rockbox. What you will see is a nonsensical image to the size of the original JPEG. Any desktop image viewer, like eyeofgnome, renders the picture correctly.

I've also included a sample Rockbox logo generated in the faulty fashion along with this bug. To create it, run this command in a Unix-like with imagemagick and curl installed: 'curl -J -L "https://www.rockbox.org/rockbox400.png" | convert - -sampling-factor 1x2,1x2,1x2 -quality 100 folder.jpg'

Ordinarily, when Rockbox is shut off and turned back on, it will remember the position in the last-played song, and begin playing from where you left off. However, in the latest build, Rockbox doesn't remember the last track that was playing if the file used a relative path. This happens on every version of 3.14 including the current daily build (2017-11-13).

Here is how the error can be reproduced:

Have a folder with two songs. Then, in the parent folder, create two m3u playlists named "absolute.m3u" and "relative.m3u".
.\
—absolute.m3u
—relative.m3u
—MUSIC\
——song1.ogg
——song2.ogg

In the absolute.m3u playlist, add the following lines:
MUSIC\song1.ogg
MUSIC\song2.ogg

In the relative.m3u playlist, add the following lines:
.\MUSIC\song1.ogg
.\MUSIC\song2.ogg

To see expected behavior:

1.) Open the files list, and run absolute.m3u and song1.ogg begins playing.
2.) Push right to start song2.ogg. Let it play a few seconds in.
3.) Turn off your device by pressing power.
4.) Turn on your device with the power button.
5.) song2.ogg continues to play the same song at the same location as when it was shut off.

To reproduce the bug:

1.) Open the files list, and run relative.m3u and song 1 begins playing.
2.) Push right to start song2.ogg. Let it play a few seconds in.
3.) Turn off your device by pressing power.
4.) Turn on your device with the power button.
5.) song1.ogg plays from the very beginning.

The file format of the songs doesn't seem to matter (I've tested ogg and mp3).

Daily build c6d5cd7-170907

An idle power off can occur in recording mode. When it does, data loss occurs. This has already bitten me a few times.

Steps to reproduce (on battery, not charging):
1. Execute Settings > Manage Settings > Reset Settings
2. Set Settings > General Settings > Startup/Shutdown > Idle Poweroff to 1 minute
3. Reboot
4. Go to Recording mode
5. Note current Volume and Gain settings and then change them to something else and note the new settings. Don't start a recording; just leave it in “stop” mode (*not* record or record-pause).
6. Wait for automatic power off
7. Power back on and check recorder settings

Expected: Settings are what they were after being changed.
Actual: Settings reverted to what they were on boot.

This can cause the loss of entire recordings, too:

8. Go back to Recording mode.
9. Wait until just before Rockbox would power off, then start a recording (if the display goes to sleep, it comes back on a bit before powering off; start the recording as soon as it comes back on).

Expected: Recording is done as usual
Actual: Rockbox powers off anyway, without warning, less than a minute into the recording. The recording is lost (or if the file is there, it's unplayable; maybe this depends on the recording format used).

Dear Rockbox, long story short after doing update to the latest daily build c6d5cd7(2017-09-11), after playing music for around 30-40 minutes the screen start to freeze cannot scroll or select anything on the screen even turn it off is not possible but after few seconds it turn off by itself and can be turn on normally after that.

After upgrading from 3.13 to 3.14, when playing most of the ogg vorbis files in my library, a "beeping" sound sporadically occurs.

The sound is random (2 consecutive playbacks of the same track will beep on the same time).

All the files played fine with 3.13.
MP3 files play just fine (I have not tested other formats yet).

Possibly interesting facts :
Vorbis files with a lower bitrate (<100kpbs) seem to be less subject to this beep.
It seems beep never occurs when screen is on.

Today I've experience something which IMO should not happen.

I recorded vian the built in micro on my Sansa e200 v1, paused the recording (not stopped!). In this state, I plugged USB cable. After that, there was the following text in the system font on the display, and the player did not respond to any keys. It had to be restarted via very long pressing at On/Off.

The text is:

*PANIC*

usb_storage_init_connection

pc:0006B878 sp:000D3538

  A: 00069978
  A: 00069F80
  A: 0005326C

bt end

I've reproduced this three time in a row.

I have the official version 3.14 installed.

I downloaded this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrb0dHKJBR4 using the youtube-dl python program. The file plays and seeks correctly in foobar2000 and MPC-HC. But, on my clip+, whether I seek 10 seconds or 10 minutes into the file, it ends up playing a position of the file previous to the one displayed. For example, if I seek 50 seconds forward from the beginning, it will play the file from the start, while the screen still displays as if it's playing from 50 seconds onwards. Seeking to the end of the file will have it play a section from about 2 minutes earlier than it should be, while the time display and music will continue until 1:14:20, with the file actually being 1:12:46.

I did not hear the files being played slower than they should be, so it seems it's only an issue when seeking.

I've confirmed this happens on every AAC file downloaded by youtube-dl, and that re-encoding the same file to AAC using NERO encoder makes the problem dissapear.

For a couple of months my Sansa Fuze v2 has been crashing randomly when playing music. Most of the time I just get a white screen with an error message. The last message I got was :

'undefined instruction at 0006DC8C'

(I think that last number varies at each crash)

This didn't happen with v3.13, but it's been happening with every daily build I've tested IIRC.

It doesn't happen very often so it's hard to reproduce. I listen to music in public transports about twice a day and this happens not more than once a week. It seems to happen more often when the battery is low (less than 10%). It generally happens early in a playback session, when the first or second track is played.

Sometimes I don't get a white screen, but the program freezes and some parts of the interface are surrounded with white frames. I don't know if it's the same bug or if it's unrelated.

Note that I'm always listening to music on a microSD card, and I haven't tried on the main memory.

PS: I chose "Sansa Fuze+" in the OS list because I couldn't find Sansa Fuse v2.

After upgrading from "Version: 33856d9-161111" to "Version: 6436c6e-170211" Resume Playback from the main menu does not work. Here are the steps taken to verify the problem:

The failure is in function mkboot_iriver in mkboot.c line 98:

len is calculated as 2636272.
But file size of /tmp/qt_temp.U16458 is only 2621440, resulting in a short read of 2621424 bytes. So error condition “i < len” fires and function returns without building bootloader.

I tested this on two different gentoo systems. It worked on one, but failed on the other. Both are more or less up to date, but have one significant difference: 32bit vs 64bit system.

The system that did compile and run perfectly uses:
gcc i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.9.4 (len=2636272, file size=2637824)
The system that failed uses:
gcc x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.9.3 (len=2636272, file size=2621440)

So, the failing rbutil creates a temporary file that is too short. I didn’t debug deeper to find out why.

Hi,
I've been using the development version of Rockbox in my ipod classic 6th generation for about two years I think, but from some time, like a month or two, I'm experiencing playback issues as the track I'm listening suddenly skip forward or backward, or even jump for a few seconds on another mp3 file inside the ipod I was just listening before. I don't think is a ipod issue because I can listen the file inside the ipod with my computer player without problems.

There some way I can check older development revisions for the classic? It appears that it doesn't show in the dev build link on the site because is not fully supported. Thanks

I'm having a shutdown issue after using my 6G ipod Classic in the car. After I have turned off the car the ipod will automatically enter a paused state but when i either hold play to shutdown or wait for the idle shutdown it will hang showing the shutting down… text and never turn off. when I manually shutdown the ipod (hold play button) down after using the ipod in the car you can hear the HD spin up and after 4-5 second hear the HD park (click) but still feel the ipod vibrating like the HD is still spinning, the text shutting down… is shown and just stays there and drains the battery. the only way to shut it down it hold menu and select.

In car is a Dension gateway G300 (ipod is connected and controlled with a dock cable, can use car controls to change tracks on ipod apple firmware and rockbox)
I'm currently using using build adaba2b-160820
Installed and tested with both the beta and stable installers from https://files.freemyipod.org/~user890104/bootloader-ipodclassic.html

Rockbox doesn't speak in the FM mode with voice configured. I tried it in my local language (spanish) and in english with same results. Apparently it is not a problem of the translation, because sometimes (only 2 or 3 times in at about one year that I'm using the player) the player speak some words. This works correctly in release version.
My actual version is 0f89b04, but it happend in all dev versions.

Hi,

I have installed Rockbox build 0F89B04-160628 using this (https://files.freemyipod.org/~user890104/bootloader-ipodclassic.html) method.

I have created a dynamic playlist (Database > long select artist > current playlist > Queue Shuffled). Play and then pause the music and then hold the play button down to shutdown rockbox. Plug in USB cable from your computer (Win10) in to the iPod and the iPod should start powering on and then a white *panic* screen should appear.

Workaround is to have Rockbox already fully booted before plugging in a USB cable from the computer.
