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?

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?)

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.

Build 21245

I have ''Start Screen' set to 'Resume Playback'.

When connecting the Ipod (from OFF) to the PC the Ipod boots and USB mode starts but also playback (the play > sign is display on the title bar).

The Ipod is not shows and not mounted on the PC.

On disconnecting USB I get 'data abort' and have to hard reset.

Running on Sansa clip zip, unable to play the following .ogg file (I can't try it on other Rockbox versions, maybe someone can?). Works fine played any other way.

www.quik.clara.co.uk/Wontplay_inrockbox.ogg

(too large to attach directly)

After upgrading from 3.0 to 3.1, the “Beep” sound (enabled in Settings / Playback Settings / Beep Volume) now sounds very distorted and fuzzy.

It sounds this way on any setting. Strong, Moderate or Weak and with the player’s volume on any setting. It definitely sounded like a normal clean beep with 3.0

This is on an 80gb Ipod 5.5 with Rockbox r19569-081223

I’m not sure if this should be under “Music Playback”, as I don’t seem to hear the distortion and fuzziness when playing mp3’s.

“First Keypress Enables Backlight Only” doesn’t work on the 5G iPod. For example, if that’s enabled, the backlight is off and I press next track while at the WPS, Rockbox will go to the next track.

It seems like clickwheel event(s) generated when I touch the wheel turn on the backlight. When the button is pressed, the backlight is already considered to be on and the button press performs its usual action. If I carefully hold my finger still on the clickwheel, let the backlight fade, and then carefully press a button without moving my finger on the clickwheel, I am able to turn on the backlight without causing anything else to happen.

I don’t know what to do about this. Requiring a physical button press might be annoying. Removing this option on affected targets might be okay, because it’s easy to turn on the backlight by touching the clickwheel (and that doesn’t seem to cause anything else to happen). Another possibility is to require more or specific wheel events.

I set player type to iPod 5G because that’s all I have, but I expect this problem also exists on other clickwheel iPods. This problem exists on r20079 and r20033.

I have a Sansa e260 player and currently Rockbox 3.11.2 running on it.
I got a shuffled playlist with all of my music in it (added to the playlist using the insert function and reshuffled afterwards). When I want to listen to one or more specific songs, I enqueue them with the queue function (in play mode select song, album etc. from database → context menu → Current playlist → Queue).
This works fine in most cases but when there had already been a queue that ended the song before, the song that I want to enqueue is placed before the currently playing song (which is the first song not any more part of the former queue) instead of after it.
If I use the feature "Queue next" the song, album or whatever is correctly placed after the currently playing song. After having used "Queue next" once, other songs enqueued with the "Queue" command may be also placed correctly at the end of the new queue. I believe to remember some strange behavior though when in that case the song was also incorrectly placed as described above.
I tried mp3 and ogg files and the behavior was the same regardless of which file format was used. It also doesn't matter if the song is played from the player's memory or from micro SD card.
As soon as the second song after the queue is playing, enqueued content is correctly placed after the currently playing song again.
I have experienced this behavior for a long time now and with different Rockbox builds on my player.

To reproduce the behavior:
1. Have a reshuffled playlist (created using "Insert" command, then selecting "Playlist" → "Reshuffle" from the wps context menu) with some songs in it
2. Listen to one of these songs which is not the first or last one in the playlist
3. Enqueue a song from your database via the context menu (This song should be placed directly after the currently playing one)
4. Play the enqueued song (or a part of it)
5. Play the next song in playlist
6. Now enqueue another song (This song should now be placed directly before the currently playing song in the playlist)

I have hardly any programming experience at all but it seems to me that somehow there exists some sort of marker that indicates the end of a queue and that this marker is not erased immediately after a queue ends but "one song too late"?

All settings should be listed there (even more so settings which cannot be set through the UI), but root menu order is only described in advanced_topic/main.tex as of now.

HI, is there a way that you could add a “Single”
playmode, so it stops after playing one song, instead of
repeating all, or repeating single? That way, it could also
be used as an “auto-off”, where it shuts off after one
song. Also, and maybe this isnt possible, but you could
have an option to play X number of songs and then stop,
where the X is configurable.

This is a rockbox version of the simple word game called “Target”.
Rules: (stolen from The Age newspaper website)
“See how many words of four letters or more can you make from the letters shown in the grids.
In making a word, each letter must be used once only.
The word must contain the centre letter and there must be at least one nine-letter word in the list.
No plurals or verb forms ending with “s”; no words with initial capitals and no words with a hyphen or apostrophe are permitted. The first word of a phrase is permitted (eg inkjet in inkjet printer).”

Currently it only works on H300, iPod Photo and iPod 5g DAPs, but I plan to expand this to all bitmap targets soon enough.
The games are either user selected or loaded from the file target_wordlist.dat, I’ve included 10 puzzles, but there are heaps more on The Age newpaper’s site (www.theage.com.au).

This patch adds more touchpad functionality to the game. It is possible to play by selecting the pieces directly instead of using the simulated buttons.
The changes are:
1. Added touchpad_get_mode to the plugin API.
2. Added menu entry for touchpad devices the switch between button mode and direct mode.
3. The user’s default touchpad mode is save during start-up of the plugin and restored after quitting.
4. The direct input mode is set only during the game (not in menu or view).
5. Extended play loop to handle BUTTON_TOUCHPAD event.
6. A piece is selected by clicking twice on it, moving is also done by clicking the target field twice.

The patch has been tested on the COWON D2 and also seems to compile fine for devices w/o touchpad. The patch has been created with

svn diff -x -w apps > touch_chess.diff

in the root directory. It would be nice if someone could test this (also on non-touchpad devices) and give me some feedback (bugs and improvements).

2. Installation
Installing Rockbox is generally a quick and easy procedure. However before beginning
there are a few important things to know.
2.1. Before Starting
Supported hardware versions. The Clip v2 is available in multiple versions…

this should read :”The Clip is available in multiple versions…”

Hi, thanks a lot for all of your coding efforts, support, etc. I noticed that the WPS layout changed slightly after installing the latest dev build.

===

Problem: An unexpected indent appears in the WPS after installing the latest dev build on a Sansa Clip+. Please see attachment for an example.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install 3.13 with Blind theme
2. Play some tracks to see WPS
3. Upgrade to latest dev build
4. Play some tracks to see WPS
5. Problem occurs here: there’s an extra indentation after the “{current track number} / {number of tracks in playlist}” text, at the bottom-left of the screen.

Player: Sansa Clip+
Rockbox version: 1879de7-140525
Binary: rockbox.sansa
Size: 582384

Additional: Possibly related to #12953

Alarm wakeup doesn’t work reliably. It is unclear whether the setup is wrong or the wake up is. It might be that the player wakes up before time because of a small press on the power button and thus somehow forgets about alarm.

According to the manual, to exit the EQ settings page you press the back button on the fuze+. This doesn’t work. I tried all key combos and none work.

I’m using the latest Dev build for the Fuze+. SanDisk Sansa Fuze+ 5ef1e2d. Same issues experienced in v3.12 stable.

The screen, for lack of a better term, jumps when navigating in upside-down mode.

Latest patch:
July 22

The setting works similar to the autoresume dirs: Directories are seperated
by colon, e.g. "/Music:/Podcasts". Default is "/sdcard" on android, "/" on
all other targets.

A maximum of 8 dirs can be selected, the setting cannot be longer than 80 chars.

Note: There's one problem. If you specifiy "/Music:/" (or any folder and one if its parents afterwards), then /Music is scanned twice. It's tricky to fix, and I'm not sure if it's worth it. This does not happen for "/:/Music" as it can be detected more easily in this order (and this is already implemented).

(Confirmed this in 4c6c8cd-130926, discovered in build from several weeks earlier)

If ‘Voice Menus’ are enabled, entering the Recording menu will freeze the player…usually before the entire screen is redrawn. Although I can still hear the sound the mic is picking up, the player is locked up, and removing the battery or super-long-pressing of Power is required.

During my testing, I was able to randomly get it to -not- lock up, but it was like a 1 in 50 occurance…tried all formats/sample rates/etc. When ‘Voice Menus’ is -disabled-, all formats/rates/etc work fine.

Thinking it was a problem with my config that I’ve been using for years, I tried with a clean config.cfg (well, deleted and let it regenerate), and narrowed the cause down to the spoken ‘Voice Menus’ being enabled.

Hi!

I’ve found very important bug in Rockbox 3.7, witch my be dangerous for both the player and the memory card (if present).
It turned out that Rockbox doesn’t react to very low battery level while voice or FM radio is recorded. It causes damage to the recorded file when finally hardware falls due to lack of energy. This corrupted file is absolutely unreadable.

Hi there,

  this is a WIP plugin that I wrote last year.  It plays amiga music using the UADE library.
  You can find more about it here: http://zakalwe.fi/uade/

  I'm a bit new to git so please forgive me for not uploading a proper patch.

  To test the plugin, simply copy the bitmap and rockuade folders to the plugins folder in
  rockbox sources.  And you have to extract the data.zip file in the .rockbox folder.

  I'm not going to work on this anymore, so I decided to upload it here, and hope someone
  can make a proper patch and maybe some dev would be interested in testing it, make 
  the necessary changes and upload an stable release.

  Please read the README file for some additional info about the plugin.

  Tested on:    samsungypr0, fuze+, fuzev2

Hi there,

  this is another WIP plugin that I wrote last year.  It plays videogame streamed music
  using the UADE library.  Original homepage here: sourceforge.net/projects/vgmstream/

  I'm a bit new to git so please forgive me for not uploading a proper patch.

  To test the plugin, simply copy the rockstream folder to the plugins folder in
  rockbox sources.  And you have to extract the data.zip file in the .rockbox folder.

  The formats.db found in data.zip is basically a list with all vgmstream supported
  extensions (at least "all" by the time I wrote the plugin).  You can add  or remove 
  new or unwanted extensions there.  The plugin will only handle the extensions found
  in the formats.db.

  Currently the plugin works as a viewer plugin, and there is only one extension associated
  with the plugin in viewers.config for testing purposes, but you can always use the 
  'open with' option from rockbox.  Once you open a file the plugin will parse all supported
  files found in the same folder.

  The vgmstream project is updated quite often, if someone wants to
  update the core library, I believe that would be very easy, since I only changed a couple
  of things to it.

  I'm not going to work on this anymore, so I decided to upload it here, and hope someone
  can make a proper patch and maybe some dev would be interested in testing it, make 
  the necessary changes and upload an stable release.

  As a last comment, I have only tested the plugin in the simulator, samsungypr0, fuze+
  and ipod nano. It only worked in the simulator and samsungypr0, so hope someone can 
  fix that.

  Please read the README file for some additional info about the plugin.

Rockbox crashes after USB unplug.

The LCD is highly unreliable: sometimes it displays dots and sometimes it stays black.
Example:
http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=13462.0;attach=6384;image

When displaying %mp in a theme while playback is stopped, the value 0 (zero) is displayed.

However, to test for “playback stopped”, one has to test:
%?if(%mp, =, 1)
That is, one has to test for (index + 1) in order to return true for any given enumerator index number.

Same problem when testing for an arbitrary number. Example:
%?if(%ss(0, 2, %St(font), number), =, 15)
returns true when the font is set to “14-Nimbus”, and false when the font is set to “15-Adobe-Helvetica”.

When testing a %tag that holds a numerical value though, it works as expected:
%?if(%pv, =, 0)
returns true when volume is set to 0dB.

Fixing this would likely break all existing Rockbox themes. One solution to this, would be to require new / updated themes to include some specific code that “acknowledges” the new behavior.

The %pb tag has a small problem. If an image is specified but no height, the tag draws the size of a line even if larger than the the image. This leads to pixel garbage below the progressbar.

The test.wps reproduces the problem in the 320x480 sdl app The default font, 27-adobe, has to be selected probably. The wps works if a height, i.e. 20 in this case as the image height, is specified

Test.png shows the problem. test.zip is the small test theme.

Using the %pL Tag (in WPS) in order to simply display it or use it in a conditional tag (like in the “analog” theme yields very high values (let call it spikes) - where they should not be, while the bar-type peak meter is working fine.

Within the simulator, everithing is running smooth, as far as I could see.

I tried to have a look at the sources but that’s too much at the moment.

Does somebody have a clue ?

Regards

  Ralf

%px tag does not behave properly with large files. When playback reaches the time 11:55:50, then the %px resets (starting to show 0).
It’s more extensively described here: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,42661.0.html

For 15-Adobe-Helvetica.bdf:

STARTCHAR ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE NO
ENCODING 4758
SWIDTH 1520 0
DWIDTH 19 0

The above value of SWIDTH, DWIDTH is too larger than that of other Ethiopian characters (This character protrudes from bounding box).

I send this bug’s patch.

The 2bit greyscale LCD drivers ignore the current viewport’s drawmode. This makes you unable to draw icons with a non-clear background.

After a lot of trial and error I found out the following.

It appears that 3.10 on my Clip V2 writes a bad nvram.bin file. When I try to set another interface language, my Clip freezes. It does not react to input and the clock in the top line doesn’t update anymore. The FM radio kept on playing though. I haven’t tried all available settings in the menu, just the ones I occasionally use. But the problem never occurred anywhere else, just upon selecting another language.

When I delete nvram.bin, I can set a language. Then I switch the Clip off and on again, and the problem comes back.

See attached the nvram.bin which causes a freeze.

PS.: No Sansa Clip in the Player Type selection on the left.

With my 5th generation iPod, if I connect USB while the hard drive is spinning, I often get full speed mode instead of high speed mode. This testing is with 00b8563, but I’ve observed the same problem in the past. Here’s the relevant part of Linux 3.8.0-21-generic dmesg output:

I get the same behaviour regarding high speed vs. full speed mode in Windows 7, but I’m not aware of Windows reporting other USB errors anywhere.

I was sometimes having USB difficulties that seemed to be due to contact oxidization or dust from not using the dock connector in a long time, but I don’t think that’s the cause here.

I’m attaching USB traces from WireShark using Linux usbmon. In both cases I removed all the USB mass storage stuff after get max lun because it seems irrelevant and increases file size a lot. When the result is full speed, something goes wrong after the set address response. When the result is high speed, something goes wrong after the set configuration request. In both cases the first sign of trouble is an interrupt from the USB hub.

This is on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R rev V1.0 motherboard with Intel P35 + ICH9R chipset.

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

I’m having weird problems with a 160Gb 6G Classic (yes I know it’s unsupported/unstable).

With emcore and rockbox it works fine. Connecting it to my computer the USB works as expected and everything is great (copied 100Gb+ of music to it with no trouble).

However… when I connect it to either of my cars (via USB), the iPod shows the USB screen for a few seconds then goes back to the Rockbox menu and locks solid. It then needs a MENU+Select to reboot it.

Using a USB flash drive in both cars (different head units) works fine and I can navigate around the filesystem and play music. I did notice that the flash drive was partitioned, not ‘superfloppy’, so I setup my iPod with 1 partition and stuck rockbox on that…. didn’t make any difference though.

Someone suggested that the head units (Kenwood and OEM Jaguar) might be detecting the device as an iPod from the USB ID and then ‘doing something special’. So I compiled my own rockbox from git source changing the USB ID and VENDOR to 0001. I then verified the change by doing a lsusb on my Linux box and the ID showed as 0001:0001.

Sadly this makes zero difference to the iPod’s behaviour when connected to my car(s).

Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m happy to recompile, grabs logs, insert code etc

This task is to develop a stand alone command line interface for use with SAPI. This will be designed to run under Windows or WINE.

This will replace the platform dependent VB script currently in place adding new features and try to improve performance.

I have attached an initial release, run with -h option for usage info.

This is not completed had very litttle error handling and due to performance issues under wine I am considering a new server/client model for a future release.

The current build as well as 3.13 report and then fail:

However, foobar reports:

Which is likely correct given that the bitrate is far too low to be ALAC.

I downloaded some AAC files from the bbc, using the get-iplayer utility. The files play just fine on the computer, but on my rockboxed Clip+, they seem to freeze up the player entirely. I have to hold the power button for a long time to reset it. I just tried updating to rockbox 3.9, but I'm not seeing any difference with the new firmware.

This adds asplash and asplashf (and vasplashf for internal use) which normal splashes but can be aborted with button presses.

Additionally, they return the action received (for CONTEXT_STD) so that the caller may handle aborts differently depending on the button.

Also I converted a few annoying splashes to use it (when loading themes, wps, fonts etc and the resume failed splash)

This patch makes the graphic EQ usable in the absolute mode on touchscreen models.
Additionally I made the following changes:

* Add a menu in the touchscreen settings to select the touchscreen mode in the graphic EQ ( because in menus I prefer the grid mode, in the EQ the absolute mode is much better)

* Always try to use the UI_FONT , make the EQ filling the whole screen and add a little margin on the left and right side. In that way it can even used with fingers on a touchscreen (automatic adaption to fill the whole screen should work for all targets with EQ and LCD).

I tested on my Cowon D2 and Iriver H340 to make sure non touchscreen models stil work, both worked perfect.

RB does not play AC3 tracks which were extracted from DVD with splitting one-track/one-song (splitting by chapters).

In other words - if you extract single AC3 song RB will not be able to play it back, despite the fact foobar2000 and Winamp with AC3Filter plugin will play it fine.

It is not a problem related to extracting software as the problem occurs for AC3 files saved by DVD Audio Extractor and SmartRipper. (Files saved by them are bit-bit the same as file comparison showed).

Simulator does not display any debugging info when you try to play AC3 file which RB is unable to play.

AC3 playback is not completely broken because RB plays AC3 files if you extracted full AC3 track without splitting it.

This patch implements a menu function to the playlist viewer's contextual menu that moves the selected track after the current playing track. It is especially useful as a simple queuing method.

I have tried to properly handle the situation in which the current playing track is the last in the playlist, but since I don't know exactly how (when) the playlist indexes are updated I wasn't able to do much in that respect, any help is very welcomed.

Since this patch adds the LANG_MOVE_AFTER_CURRENT string, I have also attached a diff with updates to the English and the Romanian translation file.

This patch adds a frequency response graph below the equalizer's controls, making it an EQ that is actually "graphical".

I'm still not sure about the accuracy of the represented curve, in particular the Q factor on the peaking filters seems to have an effect opposite to the expected, though the equations are taken from the same "audio EQ cookbook" the equalizer is based on, any help is appreciated!

The user interface is still incomplete, I want to add proper tags on the axes and bars. I also thought about re-enabling the theme on this screen (why is it disabled?) and change the behavior of the "right" button, making it consistent with other menus.

Tested on a Sansa e200.

Simple patch to add RBBLver prefix + suffix to the bootloader version string. rbutil can scan the binary bootloader file to locate this string to determine the bootloader version. download.rockbox.org can now be updated to include bootloader.version files alongside the binaries (e.g. extract the bootloader version from the binary using od -S 6 | grep RBBLver )

This patch does all the UI work needed to add a very nice folder chooser. It saves and loads the search directories from /.rockbox/database.txt.

This is only the UI change, someone else needs to figure out how to make it actually work.

The system changes to searching the entire tree below folders (so no more ignoring some folders and then looking for uningored folders.

this also uses a half done patch to make lists handle indenting, not done for the skin list but if this is actually wanted that can be easily added

The location for recordings can be set, but the only way to see the current value for the setting is to look into the config file. The patch adds a note stating that to the manual.

Also, there is a known bug ( FS#12517 ,  FS#12500 ) preventing saving the recorded files in the root directory (maybe this applies only to some targets, not all). The patch adds a warning about that.

this is an attempt to implement the idea suggested in the forum (http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=20120.0).
I take values from “skip length” setting for variable steps.

As we know, rockbox will use the information provided by "good" mp3 encoders (e.g. LAME) to ignore the extra padding that occurs at the beginning and end of each mp3 file, so that true gapless playback can occur. Unfortunately we do not always have the luxury of encoding our mp3 files in this way but we might still want true gapless playback. This patch compensates for the use of "dumb" mp3 encoders that do not record the necessary information for this feature.

In cases where it does not detect the proper header information to trim off the extra padding, it will optionally skip up to a full frame of silence (or near silence) at the beginning and end of each track (if the trimming is already specified, this patch does not do any additional trimming).

This can potentially eliminate up to a frame of "real" silence at the beginning or end of a track, but in terms of audibility, that would be completely unnoticeable (and it would only happen on these badly-encoded tracks), while the extra silence is an audible annoyance.

I have added an option to the Playback Settings menu so that the user can disable it if desired.

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.
