13161BugsFM TunerVery LowiPod FM Remote not working2018-07-29 Henk2018-07-29 Task Description

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?

12827BugsManualVery LowRockbox Utility cannot generate voice files when instal...2013-02-15A. Lester Buck III2013-02-15 Task Description

This is basically a documentation update. For several years I generated accessibility voice files on my devices. Then one day I was reinstalling and it would generate a lot of the voice files but die from a weird error. For more than six months I combed the manual and the forums, trying to figure out what had changed, trying to debug it myself. Eventually I stumbled across the problem. I had noticed the “install on player” option in Rockbox Utility and started generating voice files while running from the player. Once I switched back to running Rockbox Utility by launching the utility from my regular PC disk, everything worked again. I again looked for any warning about this in the manual, and didn’t find anything.

The simplest fix is to include something about this in the section on accessibility and generating voice files.

Another fix, probably not worth it, would be for the voice files to use system tmp space for intermediate files. I suspect that the recursive generation of talk files on player ends up in some infinite regression as it generates talk files for temporary files.

This probably happens on all players, but I only experienced it on the iPod Nano 1st Gen.

I use the attached custom WPS that displays the active Replaygain value and type next to the track number.

When playing mpc files created by foobar2000 with the tracknumber/totaltracks tag format, if the track# is 10 or higher and the applied gain negative (as in the attached mpc), mangled characters are displayed between the gain value and type, eg:

10/12 -2.00 dB *gibberish* (Album)

This is reproducible with the latest simulator build d0fffd6-150104 but I only recently noticed the issue and don't know when it began. I have an old sim build 935d8be-121229 and it works correctly there.

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:

This patchs modifies the simulator so that it can emulate the storage layer. More preciserly, it enables all the storage code and simply redirect all storage_{read,write, …} to a file. This way, all fs functions used are the one of rockbox, which allows to debug the FAT code for example.

To run this, apply the patch and modify the makefile to add this: -DROCKBOX_SIMULATE_STORAGE_LAYER
to the line:
export GCCOPTS=….

When running the simulator, it expects to read from file simdisk.raw. You can change this by using the –root option:
./rockboxui –root <file>

The code doesn’t work for me, FAT code seems to choke on something for now, I’m not sure why.

Add support for two new scroll styles, STYLE_NODRAW and STYLE_CUSTOM, with STYLE_CUSTOM causing the draw to be done via a hook (set with lcd_set_style_hook). lcd_puts_stroll_style_offset also returns a struct scrollinfo pointer. This may be used in conjunction with STYLE_NODRAW to redraw the scrolling text in a plugin which draws other graphics to the same part of the screen, by drawing the text using the offset in the struct scrollinfo after the background graphics have been drawn. My latest patch from  FS#4817  is required, as it consolidates styled text drawing in one function, making it easier to replace the normal draw with a call to the hook, and reducing the binsize impact of this feature as well.

Support for core text scrolling in PictureFlow plugin to follow .

11755BugsBattery/ChargingVery LowBattery reports 0% charge even after fully charged in R...2010-11-13Andy Smith2010-11-13 Task Description

URGENT/HIGH PRIORITY: Rockbox Firmware 3.7 installed with iRiver H300 1.29J.

Charging when in Rockbox mode (player switched on):

When Rockbox is running and the charger is plugged in, Rockbox can be seen charging the battery in the top left hand corner. When it is fully charged, it shows a full battery.

Charging when iRiver is powered off (player switched off):

When the charger is plugged in, the iRiver begins charging in Original Firmware mode. This is okay as the player charges correctly until Complete.

Booting into OF mode, shows a full battery charge so I can be sure it is fully charged.

However, boot back into Rockbox mode and Rockbox seems to be misreporting the battery charge as depleted - I say misreporting because at this point I know it is actually full/complete. (Booting back into OF mode would also confirm again at this point that there is indeed a full battery charge).

But run Rockbox 3.7 and after a few minutes, a false message - "Low Battery - Shutting Down" appears, after which Rockbox powers off.

I know this is inccorect, because if the battery was so low in OF, the iRiver OF would not even allow you to attempt to power back on (instead it would display a "Low Battery" picture on the display), but I can boot back into OF mode easily with no problems even after this message from Rockbox, again the OF shows a full battery and I can run it for hours with no problem so I know somewhere here there must be a miscommunication/misreading from the battery charge to the Rockbox 3.7 firmware.

Have tested this a number of times to ensure it is a fault and yes it presents itself everytime.

Our tick timer eats CPU even when the app is closed and music is stopped. To fix this, I added a tick_pause() and tick_resume() to kernel-android.c, to be called from java when appropriate.

I've figured out where to call pause, but the current location of resume is inadequate. The app wakes up to a black screen.

A clue, anyone?

12422BugsUser InterfaceVery LowCar adapter mode pause and unpause and headphone unpaus...2011-12-01Boris Gjenero2011-12-06 Task Description

To reproduce, ensure car adapter mode is enabled, start playback, and leave the now playing screen. If the charger isn't connected, connect it now. Then, disconnect the charger, causing a car adapter mode pause. Some parts of the now playing screen will overwrite the current screen. I see this in file view, main menu and settings. The main menu is quickly redrawn and back to normal, but the file view is only redrawn after I do something. Now, reconnect the charger, which causes a car adapter mode unpause after a short delay. The same thing happens.

I've seen this on:
- 5G iPod using Firewire power, running 3.10RC and r31106
- Archos Recorder V2 using charger, running 3.10RC and r31106

Edit: The same thing happens with headphone plug-in unpause (but not headphone unplug pause). I expect the problem also happens when using BUTTON_MULTIMEDIA_PLAYPAUSE, but I did not test that.

The problem is due to the pause_action() and unpause_action() calls in apps/misc.c. The second parameter is "bool updatewps". It is true in all cases except headphone unplug pause. I don't know why it's false in that particular case.

The second parameter probably shouldn't be there. The WPS should simply update itself if it is currently displayed.

10434PatchesMusic playbackVery LowRudimentary support for codec-specific buffering2009-07-12Bryan Jacobs2009-07-121 Task Description

This patch adds does three related things:

- Adds *basic* support for seeking and buffering callbacks so different codecs may manage their buffer space differently
- Extends a few buffering and metadata structures to store information on two files rather than one
- Modifies the Wavpack codec to make use of these features to play back hybrid files with readable correction files losslessly.

This code should not in any way interfere with anything other than the situation where a Wavpack hybrid file is present AND its correction file is readable.

There are several things that need to be done before this patch may be committed:
1. Currently there are two ginormous linear buffers inside the Wavpack codec. They should be replaced with smaller dissimilarly-sized ring buffers.
2. The interspersal of primary and correction file chunks is currently 1/1/1/1. This should probably be more like 1/3/1/3 as that better matches the size rations of a .wv to its .wvc.
3. seek_wavpack needs to support seeking where rebuffering is required.
4. The wavpack hybrid decoding function needs to be modified to decode smaller chunks in a go so that the small ring buffers mentioned above won’t overflow.
5. Gracefully handle the end of a hybrid lossless file (currently it freezes the sim)

10537PatchesMusic playbackVery LowMultifile Buffering and Wavpack hybrid support2009-08-17Bryan Jacobs2009-08-171 Task Description

The attached patch enables simultaneous buffering of multiple files in a minimally intrusive way. It also contains code to allow the playback of Wavpack hybrid files, both lossy and lossless. In the event that a Wavpack file is not a hybrid file, only original code paths are used. This patch will not affect users who do not use this file type.

How it works:
A handle may now be marked as "chunky". If a handle is so marked, adding a new handle will NOT reserve space in the buffer for the remaining portion of the file. Instead only a small amount of space (currently 2*BUFFERING_DEFAULT_FILECHUNK) is reserved. Additional checking is also added to ensure that buffer_handle will not allow one handle to overflow into another; in the event that a handle's widx would cross into the next handle's header, the handle is "extended" by calling add_handle a second time and linking from the original via file_next. Thus, there are two paths to iterate from a "chunky" handle - the next handle in the buffer layout (h→next), or the next handle containing data from the same file (h→file_next).

Key new methods:
extend_handle: used to create more space for a handle which is active but would overlap its successor if widx were advanced
clean_handle: remove pieces of a handle marked as "invalid", but don't remove the whole handle (as close_handle does)
bufopenchunky: as bufopen, but for a chunky handle
finish_handle: reserves either some or all space for a handle in the buffer
finish_chunky_handles: finishes all chunky handles

What works:
- Playback of lossless hybrid mono and stereo files in the sim functions mostly as expected. Occasional segfaults may occur - these are probably a thread safety issue. Trying on a unicore target would be productive.
- The functionality of any of rockbox other than hybrid wavpack files is not impaired
- Playback on an iPod 5.5G works as well, but is not yet real-time (apparently the hard disk isn't fast enough to buffer both files and keep up with playback, so priority should be given to the .wv file to fix this)
- Buffer space utilization is very efficient, the only waste is caused by the 300 bytes per struct memory_handle created. This could be minimized by only storing ridx, widx, and data in a minimal memory handle and copying the rest of the information to file_next as necessary (this is how open file descriptors are currently handled)

What doesn't work:
- Seeking does not always work, although seeks not requiring a rebuffer are usually OK (even those which must cross into file_next!). Especially unlikely to work is backwards seeking. This is because the Wavpack codec uses approximate seeking, which is fine when you don't have to worry about only one file but falls apart when you need to have the same block in both the wv and wvc files.
- Segmentation faults, especially at the end of very large hybrid files. These are almost all caused by the Wavpack codec in apps/codecs/libwavpack/words.c's response to reading extra 0 bytes. Wavpack does not check the validity of wvbits.ptr before reading from it! When combined with any error at all in the buffering code, or even any corruption in the input files, this leads to a segfault! There are also some issues in the original Rockbox buffering code. For example, in rebuffer_handle, h→next is used without first holding llist_mutex. This is a thread safety issue. On top of these, there's a bounds check I've missed somewhere in apps/buffering.c which can cause buffer corruption.

Most of the Wavpack decoding methods here were ported from those on http://wavpack.com with minor modifications. These files are under the GPL.

This patch contains commented printf statements as partial documentation and in case someone wishes to trace the flow of execution in the simulator.

11582PatchesMusic playbackVery LowUse Fastforward/Rewind (FF/RW) to skip tracks quickly.2010-08-29Chad Joan2010-08-291 Task Description

This patch adds an option to allow the Fastforward/Rewind buttons to be used to skip tracks entirely.

This is an itch of mine that I scratched and am offering up to others if you are interested.

I’ve been using audio lessons to learn Japanese and ran into issues navigating with the normal FF/RW buttons. The acceleration based on track length left me with no sense of time since I don’t keep track of how far I am into my 30 minute long lessons. Simply backing up 5 seconds to catch something I missed was a problem because I’d have to look at what I was doing to see how far I’d ff/rw. Kinda hard when one tick moves 30 seconds too. This is problematic when driving! The existing skip-length feature is really good for this. However, if I use that to skip 5 second increments then I abandon any way of skipping entire tracks. So I re-purposed the FF/RW buttons for skipping tracks and use skip-length for navigating within a track.

I’ve been using this in r27841 for about a week on my Gigabeat, but it seems like it should work for r27942 as well.

The manual offered by Rockbox Utility is not necessarily the version that accords with the installed (or to-be-installed) program.

E.g. select Release 3.13, and the Manual offered is http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-sansafuze.pdf not http://download.rockbox.org/release/3.13/rockbox-sansafuze-3.13.pdf .

http://www.rockbox.org/irc/log-20140124#15:41:22 says this is a bug. Since the user does reasonably expect a manual to accord with the program, I too think this is a bug. Whether it is a design bug or code bug, I cannot guess.

Note: this task says Operating System: All players but only because the actual player, Sansa Fuze, is not offered. Though this issue may indeed apply to all players.

I can disconnect and reconnect the starting device (for instance the Clip Zip) as often as necessary, but if I want to connect to the e200 (for instance to update a theme), I have to reboot the computer in order to avoid the BSOD.

12816BugsMusic playbackVery LowSansa Clip Zip hangs after "resume playback"2013-01-29Christian Mertes2013-01-29 Task Description

Sometimes my Clip Zip gets in a state where I can resume playback after booting it but then it doesn’t let me seek anymore (seek thingy still moves but then jumps back to where it was, playback is totally unaffected which in this case is bad of course). I also can’t pause or skip. I can go back to the main menu but I can’t move the cursor or go back to the WPS. When I go into the playlist by long-pressing down, the list usually appears but is not functional although here I can usually move the cursor up and down (sometimes I only get a kind of frame but rendering freezes at that point). Trying to shut down lets the “shutting down” popup appear but that’s it.

I seem to remember that going via “recent bookmarks” once was a workaround but in the current state this doesn’t work either.

This broken states persists between shutdowns (or well, switch-offs more like since shutting down doesn’t work). I also tried to recreate the playlist but that didn’t help either so I’m currently stuck with a player that will play but I can’t it make change what to play. I will also have to listen to the same podcast over and over again since no new resume position is saved.

The build I use is 42a725f.

Oh and sorry I didn’t choose the right player. Couldn’t find any Sansa Clip in the list in fact :/

12943BugsMusic playbackVery LowReplayGain: Volume not adjusted if track/album _peak_ t...2014-01-19Crim Soukyuu2014-01-19 Task Description

I tested this on a clip+ (3.13) and creative zen (rev cc64d9e), so assuming it’s the same for all devices.

Following setup:
- ReplayGain is configured to “Track if Shuffle” - “Prevent clipping” is set to on/off, does not matter

How to reproduce:
- make a copy of any RG scanned file which has track/album gain and peak tags
- remove the peak tags _only_, leaving gain tags intact

Expected result:
- player should be able to adjust the volume, but not prevent clipping

Actual result:
- player does not apply neither track not album gain.

Files containing only gain tags but not peak tags come from converting lossless → lossy and transferring gain info (since peaks will be different for the lossy file, peak tags are omitted.) With 11db of volume difference on some tracks, it’s impossible to not notice that. I am not sure why applying RG requires peak tags in rockbox, foobar2000 handles peak tag-less files without issue. Any chance to change this behavior to not rely on peak tags?

11005PatchesManualVery LowManual: FFT plugin entry & basic conversion script2010-02-12Delyan Kratunov2010-02-122 Task Description

This is a first attempt at creating an entry for the new fft plugin. The button table was automatically generated with the attached python script.

The script takes a file (or - for stdin), looks for an #ifdef CONFIG_KEYPAD….#endif block and if it finds one (and it is relatively simple), it parses it and creates the corresponding LaTeX table.

The script is extremely simple but it does provide a good basis for further work.

The settings submenu with the playlist viewer settings like “show icons”, “show indices” and “track display” to select between file name only and full path for playlist entries is not available in the playlist viewer menu in the Android version.

So these settings cannot be changed.

This happens in all version I tried until now (latest was a12b2a5).

12700BugsMusic playbackVery LowCrash when stopping playback of ogg vorbis files2012-06-18Dieter2012-06-18 Task Description

Rockbox crashes when stopping playback of ogg vorbis files. This happens both, when I stop playback through long pressing the play button or simply if the last track in the current playlist is finished. It does not happen when stopping playback of mp3 files. Pausing does not cause a crash, only stopping does.

I reported this problem already in  FS#12669  which was closed since it was asserted to be fixed, but it wasn't and isn't fixed for me.

The bug occured in version 688302a of 04/08 13:15. All earlier versions (tested back to bb0e4cc of 04/05) are working and later versions are crashing. I just tested current version e5d6e42 and Rockbox still crashes.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S running Android 2.3.7 (CyanogenMod CM7.2.0)

10767PatchesDriversVery Lowusb for mini24402009-11-08Dominik Wenger2009-11-081 Task Description

This is a very early patch to enable USB on the mini2440.

This patch let rockbox react on USB, but unfortunatly i dont get further then the first reset interrupt from USB. Something in the init has to be wrong, so i dont get ep0 interrupt which should follow the reset.

Because of this problems, no attempt has been made to implement the acutal data transfer functions.

If someone wants to step in and debug.. feel free !

12029PatchesPluginsVery LowSDL_PAD keymaps for plugins on SDLAPP build without TOU...2011-03-25Don Heyse2011-03-251 Task Description

If you build RaaA for SDL with HAVE_TOUCHSCREEN disabled there are no key bindings for the SDL_PAD in any of the plugins. This patch attempts to define generic key mappings for the 3×3 number pad on a typical PC keyboard. It needs work however. For instance, after a bit of testing I decided I’d prefer not to wait for a key repeat on the HOME button to quit most of the plugins. That said, it may prove a useful starting point developers building for RaaA platforms without a mouse or touchscreen. (Like me with the zipit.)

For the Zipit I plan to fix up the generic SDL keys first, testing on a real PC, and then try and figure out a way to use most of them as is. I’m not sure yet if it makes sense to define a ZIPIT_PAD for the few plugins where alternative keys make sense, or use some other #ifdef.
