Rockbox

After reading the irc log shortly after the flashlight plugin was committed i noticed that some want the ability back to finetune the colour of the display. This time i’ve added a fixed point version of the hsv_to_lcd version (thanks to amiconn) and added some more predefined colours. You can “skip” forwards or backwards to the nearest predefined colour (however, it’s probably not the nicest way of doing it i guess).

I’ve also implemented another request to switch the backlight on and off (even for non colour targets) and it now uses the remote backlight too.

Controls:
Targets with a 4 button cross:
Up/Down: fine tune
Left/Right: jump to next predefined colours (including white)
Select: switch backlight on and off

Targets with scroll wheel:
Scroll left/right: fine tune
Left/right or fwd/rew: jump to next predefined colours (including white)
Select: switch backlight on and off

I’ve tried to guess the most intuitive button layout on all targets and even use the remote buttons. However i only own a small number of targets so if you think it can be done better let me know.

Tested on iPod Video, Mini (sim), H300 (sim) and m:robe 100.

The attached patch implements a clean disk unmount by way of the following changes:

Patch 1: Allow disk_unmount_all to close all files and flush dirty buffers when unmounting a filesystem. (Before, we've been calling disk_unmount, which does not flush buffers because it's written to handle user-ejected storage media that aren't accessible any more.)

Patch 2: Call disk_unmount_all in the power-down and reboot paths.

Patch 3: Fix write to detect a bad file handle.

(Split out from FS#11877, in which I first theorized that an unclean filesystem may be responsible for some filesystem corruption I'm seeing, but which turned out to be a deeper problem. Related to r28693 /  FS#11774 , in which we introduced disk unmounting before entering USB mode.)

What the title says.
At whatever sample rate I use (24k & 48k tested), each sample is duplicated.

First noticed the issue in the previous dev build, and just confirmed in 15fa7f8.

When playing .opus files, no metadata is displayed. Some files (92kbit stereo music files so far) do play fine otherwise. Others induce crashes upon attempting to play. An example is attached.

First test, I played a couple of music files successfully, then tried to play the attached file. System crashed immediately showing the following:
“Undefined instruction
pc:30000002 sp:300632[display cuts off here]
bt end”

Powered off, restarted, and tried to play the attached file immediately. After a second or so of audio, player crashed again:
“Undefined instruction
pc:08180002 sp:302029[display cuts off here]
bt end”

On the previous dev build, I was getting similar errors if I tried to play the attached file (or several other similar ones) after successfully playing other files, but would get a black-screen crash if I tried to play it immediately on powerup (this is not what is happening on 15fa7f8).

I am NOT experiencing these problems on another AMSv1 player (Sansa c240 [”c200v1”]) with the same dev build, so this may be specific to the Clipv1. On the c240 with both the previous build and 15fa7f8, metadata displays fine and the attached file plays without any apparent error.

Overview:

This adds the hotkey [short home], and allows you to stop/start play more or less anywhere [long home] which I find quite useful. Hopefully, it’s a little more consistent too, though it still needs a bit of polish.

Problems:

I’d quite like [short power] to stop play in the menus by calling ACTION_TREE_STOP, but unfortunately that only works for local files, not for the radio, which feels inconsistent. I’ve put in a feature request; http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=25657.0

The recording screen isn’t very consistent with the rest of the keymap - you can press [left] or [home] to get back to the menu, and [short power] and [right] both open the recording menu. This seems to be a peculiarity of the way the recording screen is designed, though I’ll try to improve it.

There is a ‘glitch’ in that when you press [long home] deep in the menus, it’ll sometimes jump through another menu before dropping back to the WPS / Radio screen.

Some users prefer to have a free button with which to turn the backlight back on - they are seemingly used to using [short down], which is bound to playlist here. However, if they don’t set the WPS hotkey, they’ll still have a ‘functionless’ button, so no functionality is lost.

I haven’t touched the HID part at all, because I have no clue what it does…

Details of major changes:
WPS:
[Long up] Pitch screen
[Short down] Playlist screen
[Long down] Quick screen
[Short home] Hotkey
[Long home] Stop

Pitch screen:
[Short select] Cycle mode
[Long select] Reset

Recording screen: (troublesome)
[Short select] Start / pause
[Short left] / [Short home] New file / exit
[Short right] / [Short power] Recording menu
[Volume] Adjust settings

Radio screen:
[Short select] Scan / search
[Long select] Presets
[Short down] Radio menu

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

First, thanks for existing …

I just bought a 8GB Sansa Clip+ and had issues when trying to listen 24 bit Flacs, which was instantly solved using RockBox. Well, the issue I’d like to report is that it freezes when I plug it into my Mac while having the SD card on it; to avoid this I have to remove the SD card, but this is kind of unconfortable.

Any advise?

Thanks in advance

I know keymap changes can be a difficult topic, this one however is just a small change - which, I hope, improves usability of Clip players quite a bit.

I just swapped the behavior of two functions when browsing lists: short press on the power button returns to WPS, and pressing menu + center stops playback while in lists. Return to WPS is arguably the much more often used functionality of the two, and this change makes it easier to do that.

The Clip Zip's text viewer does not bookmark anymore. When holding down the Submenu and Select keys (which according to the manual sets a bookmark), no bookmark is created, and the screen flashes between the context menu and the text file instead. This bug has been confirmed by skip252 here: [ http://anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?p=629493&posted=1#post629493 ].

Rockbox build is the latest dev build at the time of filing [62de15f-130103].

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

if bookmark=ask is set and the mpeg is stopped, the user is asked for pressing select (for make bookark) or any key (for discard)
on apple devices: if the clickwheel is used for discarding, the bookmark is not set (as intended) but the clickwheel is not working anymore.
to get the clickwheel working again, the keyboard lock has to be set and unset and select has to be pressed.

Currently running r19940 but there doesn’t seem to have been any chage in the power code for the gigabeat S recently.

The issue is that there is a regular clicking noise heard if DC power is connected while the battery is fully charged. This noise is not heard while the battery is charging. The same power adapter doesn’t cause the same noise on an F.

I like to keep the equalizer on with the precut set to -24db, as a volume limiter. I also like the fade on stop/pause set on. When I pause there is a noticeable ‘click’ sound after the music fades out. Also a click before fading in when I resume.

This was not always the case, but I am not sure how old the version I was using, that did not do this.

By the way, this also occurs on the Gigabeat S, as well as Gigabeat F. I don’t know about other models.

Let me know if you need more information.

This patch contains several improvements to the Chopper game designed to make it run with a high framerate instead of a low, jerky one. Previously, the game depended on sleeping for a number cycles before drawing another frame, causing very jerky motion. Now the game should run at a high framerate all the time. The gameplay should be about the same, at least on targets with a display of >64px. I don’t have any of these smaller targets, so I wasn’t able to test. Please tell me what you think of my changes.

This patch adds detection of the charger connection. Not tested on a 1G, but should work if the ipodlinux GPIO documentation is correct.

NOTE: 'Charging' is not detected, just the presence of external power. See http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=18196.0 for forum topic.

I would like to change voice strings to make them sound better with a specific SAPI voice.

I don’t intend to change string in *.lang directly.
It should be done in voice.pl dinamically while building voice, shouldn’t it?

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.

As discussed on the mailing list this patch gets rid of the “About to Erase Dynamic Playlist” warning and replaces it with a menu option to save the current playlist under it’s existing name.

The attached patch is a first cut for review as I’m just getting used to the menu system. If people think it’s the right way to go I’ll clean it up properly. Any suggestions for tweaks to the functionality also welcome.

This patch adds a changable wheel scroll speed option on ipod video.

Both issues seem to appear with any version of my theme and with any build.
Let's try it with the latest version 1.30 of my theme (in attachment but also here: http://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?themeid=1585 ) and a recent build (I use version: 0c4bd3a-120406)

-Theme loading

When you load the theme for the 1st time, the WPS will never load properly (failsafe). The workaround is to turn off the device and turn it on again and then the WPS will always load properly until you reload the theme for some reasons (trying another theme and revert back to mine etc).
I tried both with the full theme version and this "light" version of WPS: http://pastie.org/3747546

-USB connection (tested on Windows 7, with or without a microSD, and there isn't such an issue with the other themes)

If I plug the USB cable while the player is on or off, it will almost never mount properly.
Usually the USB screen appears on my SBS, the computer recognizes a USB device is connected but either nothing appears in "my computer" or the device appears but is not accessible. When I unplug the USB cable, the Zip gets stuck on the USB screen and only reset can turn it off.
Sometimes it even displays some erros like that when plugging the USB cable: "data abort at 30FSR 0x8 (domain 0, fault address 0x964176 bt pc: 0x3006AC3 bt end" , sometimes it doesn't display the USB on SBS but gets stuck on the main menu.
And rarely in the same conditions it also mounts properly…

Like for WPS, I made a "light" version of SBS without the status bar and that way the Zip seems to mount and unmout properly every time!
http://pastie.org/private/cauhxelaip7hrpqpcwdbxw So maybe a tag in the status bar causes the issue with USB connection?

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.

How I am able to reproduce this behaviour on my clipv2 using rockbox 3.10:

I select a file to play using the file browser and rockbox creates a curent playlist.
I save this playlist using the context menu and enter file browser again.
I select a file from any other folder for playing back, I get a “playlist buffer full” error message, that keeps flickering on the screen, when pressing any button.

I increased all file limits and also deleted the .playlists_control file to have it recreated again. The saved playlist consists of 30-40 mp3s.

If you add a tank or a plane on a field the strenght does not increase at any time ( as expected ). E.g. place a tank on a field with a farm.

The Bug is located in superdom.c in lines 438 - 457

static int calc_strength(int colour, int x, int y) {

  int a, b, score=0;
  for (a = -1; a < 2; a++) {
      for (b = -1; b < 2; b++) {
          if ((b == 0 || a == 0) &&
              (board[x + a][y + b].colour == colour)) {
              score += 10;
              if(board[x + a][y + b].tank || board[x + a][y + b].farm) // <-- this is the BUG
                  score += 30;
              if(board[x + a][y + b].plane || board[x + a][y + b].ind) // <-- this is the BUG
                  score += 40;
              if(board[x + a][y + b].nuke)
                  score += 20;
              if(board[x + a][y + b].men)
                  score += (board[x + a][y + b].men*133/1000);
          }
      }
  }
  return score;

}

The Bug should be fixed by using this lines instead :

static int calc_strength(int colour, int x, int y) {

  int a, b, score=0;
  for (a = -1; a < 2; a++) {
      for (b = -1; b < 2; b++) {
          if ((b == 0 || a == 0) &&
              (board[x + a][y + b].colour == colour)) {
              score += 10;
              if(board[x + a][y + b].tank)
                  score += 30;
              if(board[x + a][y + b].farm)
                  score += 30;
              if(board[x + a][y + b].plane)
                  score += 40;
              if(board[x + a][y + b].ind)
                  score += 40;
              if(board[x + a][y + b].nuke)
                  score += 20;
              if(board[x + a][y + b].men)
                  score += (board[x + a][y + b].men*133/1000);
          }
      }
  }
  return score;

When the c200 is docked (as detected by the charger discrete being active), switch to line out. This was necessary for the Griffen “iTrip Auto for Sansa” adapter to produce output. I would assume this is necessary for other docking stations.

This is *NOT* a perfect patch, but it is a start and is necessary to make docking stations with audio output work.

Limitations:
* I mute the headphone output, so plugging in a non-docking charger will prevent listening via the headphones while charging. Both can be enabled… if the charger is plugged in, it probably isn’t an issue but that is what the Sansa firmware does.

* The charger/headphones detection is done only on power up. This is suboptimal, but usually “correct.” A better technique would be to hook into the charger status announcements, but I don’t have time right now.

As the title states the c200 v1 LCD doesn't turn on when changing the Backlight setting from Off to On. The backlight itself does turn on though. I don't know if this happens with the v2 players.

I first noticed this behavior in r24404 earlier today on my c240. I then updated the player to r24511-100204 and get the same behavior as before. I also get the same behavior in another c240 v1 player that I have which I also updated to r24511-100204. It was previously running r20698-090412 and the backlight didn't turn on when changing the backlight from off to on (I'm guessing that  FS#10130  fixed that problem) - so it happened sometime between that revision and at least as far back as r24404. It might have even carried over from  FS#10130 .

Also, just as a note, I don't notice this behavior in the February 2nd c200 simulator (r24449) - both the backlight and LCD turn on as expected. I checked my v1 Fuze (r24509) also and get normal behavior (backlight and LCD turn on), so this bug might just be limited to the c200 players.

The uisimulator cannot be build by using the source of the latest version on MinGW.

I send this bug’s patch.

It is necessary to apply the patch of FS#10021 to build the firmware on MinGW.

Hi, firstly i put Sansa c200 because SansaClip+ is not available in the list.
My player is a Sandisk SansaClip+ bought 6 months ago with an 8Gb class 4 Sandisk microsd (that is currently empty, no songs stored).

Steps to reproduce the issue (after a fresh installation of the Firmware, no settings changed):

1) Switch on
2) → database
3) → track
4) select any track
5) press the central button
6) Erase Dynamic Playlist? is displayed.. Select Yes
7) countdown then starts to play
8) Seek to the next song (it happens at the first seek or might need three, four one after the other)

Data abort

- I installed version 3.10 on top of version 3.09, but later on I tried to uninstall completely 3.10 and reinstall it from scratch and the issue is the same.

- After the crash i have to keep the "switchoff" button pressed for a while.. then I press it again to restart the player and I try to resume the song I get "playlist control file is invalid" or "nothing to resume"

- behavior is the same with or without the SD card

- The issue was randomly happening (but very very rarely) also on the previous version of the firmware (3.09) I got the error a couple of times in 6 months.

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.

Running “current build” r24477-100203 on Sansa e200 V1

Game Brickmania bug:
The ball just disappears (often on Level 2, but maybe on others). Ball will just usually go to the top corner and not “bounce” back, but the game acts as if a ball is still alive (doesn’t register a lost ball) though there is no further movement on screen. I just have to quit the game.

The ball doesn’t bounce back. No further ball is issued. It just disappears and I can’t interact w/ the game anymore due to no active ball.

FIRST APPEARED: This began a few weeks ago (sorry I can’t be more specific), but has persisted in several “daily build” updates I’ve done and is in the current build I just installed.

REPRODUCIBLE: I reproduce the bug each time I just play through Brickmania. It generally happens in level 2 of the game though it may happen in subsequent levels– I don’t get through to them to see.

I’ve installed with rbuitil and manually, same thing happens. I have 2 different V1 e200s and it happens on both of them.

Thanks for all your work on the great Rockbox.

this patch is a WIP to update the bookmark system.

the change is to save “resume points” into the current .playlist_control file and copy that as a .bmark file. Right now it works fine to load and save (And even list the bookmark resume points).

What doesn’t work yet (in bmark.3.diff) is the recent bookmarks menu item.

So far, the only downside I have found is that when you open a .bmark file the current playlist has to be stopped (it gets bookmarked automatically so if you cancel the .bmark it will resume anyway).
I’m hopeing that this isnt a big enough issue to reject the patch.

Hello.

I found that bookmarks which was automaticaly created (by the function Bookmark on Stop with set to Ask) from tagcache don’t work. Problem is in missing path to file in bmark file. I made more test and now I attach bmark where first line/bookmark is from tagcache and second line/bookmark is from files browser.
Both are on approximately same time.

I testted on Sansa c250 and Sansa Fuse2 with Rockbox r27481-100718.

Can anybody from developers focused on it, please.

Much more thanks.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a directory: /AUDIO;BOOKS
2. Place a file in it: /AUDIO;BOOKS/file.mp3
3. Start playing the file, and then create a bookmark
4. Do “List bookmarks” for the file
5. The bookmark menu lists something like this:

The problem seems to be that .bmark files use semicolons to separate the fields of information. If there’s a semicolon in the path, it thinks that it indicates the end of the path and the beginning of the filename.

Bomberman like game with ai.
Not finished yet - lots of bugs and things to be done are known :)
Tested on Cowon D2 and also on some simulators with the same screen size (will work on other screen sizes too, but not now).
Somebody test it on iPod Video and on Zen Vision:M please.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Hope the patch will work…

you must put the file there manually.

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

There is bug in rockblox: when you manage to push block exactly to the top of the field, game neither finishes with error, neither continues normally. this block starts growing when you destroy lines in the bottom.

I've made small video and put in into youtube (sorry for bad quality and sharpness :

look into the left top and see what happens when lines are removed. bug is quite easy to reproduce. right side works like the left.

When using an image in a theme it shows ugly gradients/dithering, as if it was only 16 bit. When the same image however is used as backdrop (%X tag, instead of ‘regular’ %xl and %xd), it looks smooth and 24 bit.

Attached image shows the issue. Top half shows what Rockbox does when the image is loaded via %xl and %xd. Bottom half shows how the image should look like (and how it does indeed look when it’s used as a %X backdrop).

Tested on a Cowon D2 simulator and on an Android device running RaaA.

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.

It would be nice to be able to change volume while using the stopwatch plugin. If I don’t have the volume perfectly adjusted when starting my jogging round, I have to choose between running the rest of my laps with too low/high volume or discarding my times to change it, as the scroll wheel doesn’t have any function in the plugin.
