I have just now installed the latest stable version of rockbox (that would be 3.0) on an iriver h340. Unfortunately, it’s unusable at the moment due to some serious screen corruption. It sort of looks like this picture: http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/2263/iriver3qs.jpg, but is so much worse that it’s impossible to navigate the menus. If I wait for the backlight to go off, and then press a button, the screen looks fine until I start navigating, at which point the corruption resurfaces.

I’m really excited about rockbox, but this bug is a showstopper for me at the moment.

Thanks for looking into it!

Regards.

Setting the Idle Poweroff setting seems to work just fine initially because the player ceases to respond to any input. However, when you push the power button back up to turn it on, the screen lights up and says “Shutting down…” for a few seconds before actually powering off. You then have to push the power button back on to turn it on proper.

Hi,
There is a problem in the Chinese voicing. It says "number, bai fen ji" (number %), but it's supposed to say "bai fen ji number) (% #). I don't know if it happens in text because I'm blind. Could this be fixed?

ROLO currently fails on these targets unless a Rockbox image is being loaded that is sufficiently similar to the one already in memory.

The sequence goes like this:

- rolo_load() loads the new image to
rolo_restart() copies the new image to the start of DRAM (to achieve this without crashing, this function is in
rolo_restart() tries to call invalidate_idcache(), but since invalidate_idcache() is in DRAM this fails as the function has been overwritten.

There are several solutions to this:

1) Move invalidate_idcache() into .icode (easy but won’t fix all targets, esp. those that don’t use IRAM)

2) Create a new .safecode section at the end of DRAM, and move these functions into it (lots of work to update every app.lds and crt0.S, and test every target)

3) Introduce target-specific rolo_restart() functions, as per imx31/rolo_restart.S (less work, as only one should be required per architecture, eg ARMv4/5 etc.)

I’m not sure which of those options is “best”. 1) is certainly the easiest, but 2) and 3) should also allow ROLO to work on targets that don’t use IRAM.

Tested on r24190-100105

To reproduce:
- Start Rockbox, default setting
- Play a file with ID3 tags which are encoded in some non-Latin locale (In my case, Hebrew). Notice that the strings are shown in Gibberish.
- Change Default Codepage to the other locale (e.g. Hebrew).
- Go back to WPS

Expected result: All strings that are encoded in the other locale are shown properly.
Current result: All these strings are shown in the original locale.

Workaround: Restart the player. The new locale is applied.

I will not have time to fix this myself, so I'll appreciate if someone else can take responsibility for this bug. Thanks.

Sorry for this article. I am a Chiness boy and my english is poor.But i love rockbox.My MP3 Player is onda vx747.I can’t open any .txt files which larger than 1M on the rockbox system.I don’t know how to solve it and i hope some could send me a message if he could solve the problem.My E-mail:724279694@qq.com.Thanks!

When loading a saved Brickmania game, the game is loaded corrupted. Please see screenshot attached to see for yourself. There is one brick in the right side which is shown corrupted, and one corrupted rectangle in the left side of the screen which drops like a power object, and stays at the bottom of the screen.

This issue happens on Cowon D2 target. It doesn't happen on the D2's simulator.

Looking at the code and comparing the loading/saving function against the Bubble's game functions, I can see that the return value of file operations is not checked (I'll fix that).
In Bubbles, there's a single file operation of reading/writing the game context struct. In Brickmania there are several consequent file operation to read/write each variable. Maybe the drivers doesn't handle this well on this target. A workaround for that could possibly be to join all saved variables under one game context struct as in Bubbles, but that could mask a real bug somewhere else.

Seen with r27199 on the e200 simulator.

If I place a .wps file in the root directory and “play” it from the file browser, the WPS is not loaded. I’d expect it to load but not to be saved as the setting.

The same file is loaded if it’s in the directory /.rockbox/wps, i.e. it’s not the wrong file contents that’s causing the error.

Hello,

empty menu items crash rockbox due to NULL pointer access.
Easily reproducable with the "LCD settings" in RaaA / SDL app build.

The resulting valgrind trace looks like this:
==22619== Invalid read of size 4
==22619== at 0x407FDA: do_menu (menu.c:555)
==22619== by 0x41B198: miscscrn (root_menu.c:323)
==22619== by 0x41B377: load_screen (root_menu.c:520)
==22619== by 0x41B72A: root_menu (root_menu.c:688)
==22619== by 0x406DFA: main (main.c:196)
==22619== Address 0x0 is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd

Question:
Should we protect against "menu→submenus" being NULL or
should the menu system hide empty menus without any items at all?

Cheers,
Thomas

both with 3.8 and build r29635

since 3.8 after a while the display blanks totally, no gui. only restarting the device makes it available again for a short
screen, navigation is basically impossible.

On my iPod video, when I choose to load the WPS on startup (either in the Settings menu or in the alarm menu), it doesn't work. The player stays on the main (root?) screen.

I had to tweak root_menu.c (which I join) to get the alarm to work with the WPS. This is not a patch, but a quick and dirty workaround that I did just to be waked up on time tomorrow…

Hi there! I'm having a huge problem with the rockbox boot on an iPod classic 5G. I've selected a number of option in the tagcache settings, such as 'load to ram', and after it readed all the files (30GB of music) ask me to reboot, and finally it freezes on the message 'saving tagcache' [1/9], responding only when i press menu+select for reboot. The same for the usb connection. I can't manipulate the files in any way!

Please excuse my limited English. Greetings from Argentina and congratulations for the fantastic project!

I think there is a problem with a .ape codec ,when i play .ape files it will have a sound like radiosound.The time happen randomly with each .ape files and when i playback again it still happen at that time.Exp:ABC.ape will have have a noisy sound at 0:10 and when i play again it still happen at 0:10

Hello, all
There's a problem with viewing files in some circumstances in iPod 5.5G last 3.9 release.

When I:
playing something in /Music/Artist/Track.flac,
pause playback,
connect USB cable.
rename /Music/Artist to /Music/ArtistSOMETHING, then disconnect USB cable

I just cannot turn playback on ("~Do not exist" or something message appears, it's OK, I know),
BUT
when I trying to enter in "Files" menu - there's no reaction at all. Just nothing. I can't play of any other existing track or change to any directory without restarting device, or:

just go to Playlists → VIew catalog → select some playlist, then some music appears. But it's too long imho.

Is "it" bug or not?.. :)

Thanks,
sorry for my english,

build: r31372-111219

i am using SYLT and USLT tags in my audio files (LYRICS and UNSYNCED LYRICS respectively)

but it seems like lrcplayer does not read the SYLT tag.
it only displays someting if the UNSYNCED LYRICS tag is present

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)

The config caused the iPod to appear frozen (frozen screen) after bootup. The iPod would boot, show the normal boot screen and then created a boot screen mixed with theme settings. Picture: http://imgur.com/E4srA the iPod refuse and refused to mount.

Fix:
1: Boot into recovery diskmode
2: Remove conflicting config.cfg
3: Reboot into normal mode

There is a bug with the clip zip that when you plug a device in for the first time it doesn't install succesfull the driver and when i unplug it the device crashes and needs a hard reset

I have some stereo files that need to be encoded as two independent channels with no lossy stereo coupling. I encode these files by passing "–uncoupled" to the Opus encoder, e.g.

opusenc –bitrate 64 –framesize 60 –uncoupled example.wav example.opus

The lossless flac version of a sample of such a file prior to encoding can be downloaded from
http://kyle.tk/binaural-beat-sample.flac

If I do not pass the "–uncoupled" option to the encoder, the resulting Opus file plays with no trouble on my Sansa Clip+. The sample of this encoding is at
http://kyle.tk/binaural-beat-sample-64k.opus However, if I pass the "–uncoupled" option, sample at
http://kyle.tk/binaural-beat-sample-64k-uncoupled.opus Rockbox only plays a cacophony of chirps, scratches, squeaks and garbled noise, and no hint of the original sound is detectable.

Note: I have only been able to test this on a Clip+, as I own no other Rockbox player that is capable of playing Opus files at this time. Hopefully someone can confirm this problem on other targets, but for now, I have been able to reproduce it 100% on the Clip+, and I can confidently point to "–uncoupled" as the encoder option that results in an unplayable file.

This is a reopen of issue #1 of  bug 7354  (http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7354)

SETUP:
HW: sansa clip+
SW: 8687b98-121001

CD's ripped as wav/cue with EAC 1.0b3 then converted to FLAC w/embedded cue with cuetools 2.1.4; used accuraterip to confirm good rip.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:

loading a flac w/embedded cue would display markers within the track and allow forward/back skipping within the track.

ISSUE:
Some tracks I am unable skip to using next/back or rewind to the start of using back.
If I listen to the whole preceeding track then the display updates correctly as it goes.

I've tested this with a handful of CDs, and given the previous bug, this appears to be a general issue with flacs/embedded cuefiles.

this is ordinary mp3 file.
I think it was name problem, renamed to simple.
Still not play.
Player Sansa Clip+ (not found in bug report menu)
Rockbox 3.12 (not found in bug report menu)
Standard firmware has no problem with this.
Good luck!

It is 16Mb size so I put it to my dropbox
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17669498/rockboxbug/08.mp3

Player: Sansa Clip+
FW: Rockbox 3.12, official stable build, but it happens on older versions too

While playing some FLAC file, RB skips to the next track automatically. I know there is a lot of similar bugs, but this is unique:)
Firstly, the problem is repeatable on my Clip. Skipping is always at one time, e.g. 00:19 for one file and 01:40 for other one. I think that these files are stored on corrupted part of SD card. OK, if it's corrupted then I have to buy a new one, but when I switch to original Sansa Clip+ firmware it play normally! At problematic places (00:19 or 01:40) there is a little 'click', but it continues to play. My conclusion is: if original FW handles such a files on bad memory, Rockbox should has workaround also.
Files are OK, when I copy them to internal memory, Rockbox plays continuously.
I didn't notice skipping of MP3 files on the same SD card, only with FLACs.
Computer players (e.g. AIMP) plays FLACs from this SD without any problems.

I've attached movies that presents the bug on 2 different tracks. Hope it helps.

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.

http://youtu.be/dRfiBtMx2to

Back button does not work, and sometimes the same function as the forward button.
Rewind button does not work
Of course, I am talking about are the physical buttons，Touch buttons are working properly。

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

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:

Running Version: 6436c6e-170211… Reset config
Using default settings, enabled Shuffle via Shortcuts
Started playlist; track identified as 1 of 5330
Skipped ahead to the 5th track
Paused @ 1:01
Forced shutdown
Enabled Hold switch
Waited ~1 min., then booted via disengaging Hold switch
Clicked Resume Playback… resumed on the same first track (1 of 5330)
This behavior occurred every time I attempted to Resume Playback.

Restored previous version (Version: 33856d9-161111)
Rebooted
Reset Settings
Using default settings, enabled Shuffle via Shortcuts
Started playlist; track identified as 1 of 5330
Skipped ahead to the 5th track
Paused @ 1:01
Forced shutdown
Enabled Hold switch
Waited ~1 min., then booted via disengaging Hold switch
Clicked Resume Playback… resumed on the fifth track @ 1:01

FWIW: No Bookmarking used (never have). Database not initialized (never use it).

Trying to cross-compile GCC for the ipod with GCC 9.2 I keep running into errors:

In file included from ../../gcc-4.4.4/gcc/diagnostic.h:25,

               from ../../gcc-4.4.4/gcc/tree-mudflap.c:43:

    |      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This would seem to be the same issue as the one described on https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90677

The attached patch against GCC seems to fix the problem for me.

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.

Holding the Pause button (to move/paint down) will shut down rockbox.

This shutdown combination should be disabled for Rockpaint!

While I’m at it (and you can put this in a different Flyspray if you want), I suggest that we make use of the iPod scrollwheel somehow in Rockpaint, maybe to change the size or shape of the brush or something and/or in the menus.

I would also like to be able to set the colour of the background to start with.

The H10 5G MTP needs a different bootloader than the UMS version (see http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IriverH10PortDevInfo#Build_a_Rockbox_Bootloader).
I’m not sure about the correct way to do this in configure, so I’ll leave it to someone who is.

This IS a duplicate of  FS#6904 .

My iaudio x5 hangs when changing directories via short+long direction button presses. It switches to the next directory, but no audio plays, and the WPS shows that it stops at 0:02 of the track.

I navigate to any directory in the file tree, enter the context menu and set it as the recording directory. Then I go to the recording screen, cancel out immediately and return to the file tree.

There is now a new directory, in the same place as the directory I just set for recording. The new directory has exactly the same name except the final 3 letters have been removed, and it is this directory that has become the recording directory. The original directory is still there too, but now it does nothing.

The workaround is to create a bogus directory with 3 extra letters, then delete it once the bug creates the new directory with the truncated name.

The FM Tuner appears to be very sensitive to noise and static compared to the original firmware radio.

Apart from the static and noise the Rockbox FM Tuner sounds much clearer and sharper than the original firmware, so I wonder if this may be related to the OF using a lower sampling rate or cutting off the higher frequencies to reduce noise.

(sansa fuze)
for some games (such as pokemon)
when you walk around alot;
it is difficult because even the slightest movement of the wheel activates the pause screen;
I have tried multiple controls setups;
and whatever is setup to use the scrollwhell is always extremely sensitive;
a sensitivity setting should be added, to allow a change in the threshold required to count as a button press

   I've update my ipod nano 2G to r23629. I found the clickweel would remember the last point my finger leave. And next when I touch the clickwheel, it will make a farward/backward move according to the last point I left, even click the button. Now it is not convenient to type a word with the keyboard inside or setting.
   And my Mac doesn't launch my ipod when I connect my ipod with USB until I change to disk mode. Seems that the USB driver doesn't work.

Stereo width of >0% can cause stutter in the form of an audible click.

Bypassed by setting stereo width of 0% or monophonic channel configuration.

This is a reopening of issue  FS#7354  (quoted below) related to playback problems involving cuesheet support and flac files (labelled #1 in the original post). Jumps to certain positions in flac file according to the cuesheet fail consistently.

The bug is extensivelly described in the original report and can be easily reproduced in current versions. I reproduced it in many situations with the following configuration:

Equipment used: Cowon D2 and Cowon D2 simulation
Rockbox version: tested on r25508-100407 and r24777-100219 (simulation)
Rockbox settings: Cuesheet support ON, other on default
FLAC files: Ripped form my original CDs with EAC (to WAV and cuesheet) in secure mode and processed with FLAC 1.12 and/or 1.14 compression level 8. MD5 checksums on cuesheets and FLACS checked. Cuesheet syntax OK, cuesheet file encoding UTF8-DOS and/or DOS. Works properly my on computer.

Quote of the original post

A mixed RTL with LTR text appears in a missed order not conforming to bidi logical to visual algorithm of unicdoe.

Implementation is ready in bidi_l2v() , but the “orientation” parameter is hardcoded and passed as “1” always

A suggested solution is either pass “orientation” as 0 for any RTL text, or tie the orientation parameter with the “alignment” option of the text viewer.

I am trying to use the last method mentioned on the ipodpatcher wiki page to write Rockbox directly into the OSOS image on my iPod Nano2G. Sometimes it works properly, but other times it fails saying that it couldn't read the header from the .ipodx file. I am following the instructions exactly, so that can't be an issue. I have tried hexediting the .ipodx file, and in some cases I can get ipodpatcher to read the header by editing the first four values, but this always causes a Checksum Error.

r28936, sim build for iriver H120, fresh installation folder, i.e. no file “config.cfg”

I modified the function “sim_open” to ouput what files it’s opening, and got the following output (see attached text file). Note that there are files “-.kbd”, “-.sbs” and “-.rsbs”. I think these files should not be opened, even tried.

If I set my Gigabeat F20 touchpad sensitivity to High, the touchpad and all buttons stop working - except for the long POWER action which shuts down in the normal manner.

I then need to reset settings on boot (or connect to a PC and edit them) to restore usability.

If other owners could try this out, I'd be interested - it may be that I have a stuck button under the touchpad, of course.

On the default FM radio screen only the pre-set name line appears to scroll if wider than the screen. Other lines don't. This occurs on all releases tested up to current r29824-110504.

To reproduce, set to a large font and go to the FM Radio (I use 32 Terminus Bold - I want to read the screen when not wearing glasses, but it still occurs to a degree with fonts smaller than this).

Example display:
Station: 101.3 ("MHz" not visible - no scrolling)
Stereo
Mode: Scan

i am shuffling through songs and set crossfade to shuffle only it still fades when i do a manual track change this does not happen when i set shuffle
should not occur as there is an option for shuffle and manual track change only, so the two options have the same functionality when i am shuffling it should be able to differentiate between
should be able to register that i have pressed next so the next song should not fade even though it is on shuffle.

On the Sansa E280 v1 with a playback speed of 200% the playback restarts at bookmark plus about 2 seconds.

When I play non-protected WMA files of 32 - 64 kbps and 44khz which have been ripped without changing anything from video on my Clip+ I get a garbled sound. I hear bits of sound all mixed up. This was true w/ 3.81 firmware and now w/ 3.9. The unexpected thing is that they all play normally w/ the Sansa firmware(Sansa firmware's volume is too soft for my taste Roll Eyes).

Bluetooth dongles are not "correctly powered up". Problem experienced with ipod Video colour 30GB and following dongles:
- Sennheiser BTD300i
- Kokai i10s

When I boot the standard apple software the dongles auto pair with my headphones. When I boot Rockbox the dongles get power (LEDs go on) but don't pair.

I'd put priority low on this but couldn't change the priority field during bug-entry

The rockbox behaviour when plugging in a firewire cable is to automatically reboot into disk-mode, preventing charging whilst running rockbox.
