Rockbox

The key lock feature on my clip+ can be circumvented. Select the last title in a directory using the file browser. Then activate the software hold. When the song finishes the Player skips to the file browser and the key lock is turned off after a button press. You can navigate around the menus until you return to the playing screen, then the key lock turns on again.

SVN r30720

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

When connected to PC.
While transferring files from PC to Sansa e280v2.
Both source and destination folders are open.
Sansa shuts off after some time. while transfer is still happening.
this does not happen with original firmware.

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.

Tested on r31173:

Deleted tracks are still visible after the automatic database update when the player boots. These tracks vanish as soon as I add some files. It also doesn't seem to matter if the dircache is enabled or not. Manually updating the database from the menu works as intended.

svn-r31216

when deleting a directory with several files in it the splash screen, that is appearing when deleting the individual files, gets printed over the last one without clearing the screen prior to it.

Hello,

i think rockbox is very nice. I use ist for several years.

Now i found a bug:
The Car Adapter Mode or rather the power-off does not work in the Radio-Mode.
I tested it with the versions 3.4 and 3.10.

Hardware: iriver H140, iriver H340, Sansa Clip+

Rockbox version: 3.10 downloaded from http://www.rockbox.org/download/byhand.cgi I have also reproduced bug on official firmwares as old as 3.5.1, and on my own builds.

Settings: 100% default except for enabling EQ and setting an EQ i.e. using graphical EQ to set LS -0.5 at 60Hz or LS +1.5 at 60Hz

Expected behaviour: music track, however loaded, starts in normal way, with no sounds other than those decoded from file. Restarting the track results in the same normal playback.

Actual behaviour: music track starts with an obvious and intrusive click. This happens whether the track is loaded individually, or if it is the first track of an album loaded via .m3u playlist. When using playlist subsequent tracks play normally, without a click. But restarting any track causes the click.

It makes no difference if the EQ Low Shelf Filter settings are a big change from flat, or a tiny difference. To induce the bug it’s enough that EQ is enabled and LS is not set to be flat i.e. just an increment of +/- 0.5 dB is enough, and changing the cut off frequency or the Q factor made no difference.

This bug is noticeable with any track that starts quietly, and especially with tracks from CDs that are not mastered to modern high levels.

The Clip does tend to make its own small click on manual track changes and some button presses; I am not confusing this with the bug I describe. On the irivers I get a single click, while on the Clip I get a very unmusical double click.

I’ve attached my H140 config to illustrate that the config is unremarkable and that apart from the EQ it is at default. If anyone needs me to try stuff or make any changes or try a patch that is fine, but I would prefer it to be on an iriver because the Sansa OF database refresh is so annoying.

Since the daily builds in between 3.9.1 and now and also on the release 3.10 i experienced a problem with MPEG player not displaying the the fonts right and the chip8 emulator just freezes after loading a file i tested it with a few game files found on the plugin wiki.

USB is broken on mr500. I’ve tried r31467, but this has been the case since at least a few weeks ago.

Enabling logf in the relevant places causes rockbox not to boot, so wasn’t helpful.

Languages like Thai use combining diacritical marks which display above or below the adjoining character. When text scrolls off the screen, the text jerks back and re-scrolls what seems to be the width of the diacritical mark. It seems that the scrolling algorithm is counting the width of the diacritical mark, where it should be ignored.

There is different level audio between Radio and Music Playback with the same db value. Level audio on Music Playback is too low.

When playing a sequence of two songs Rockbox on my HTC Desire S always crashes. I first had r30576-110921, and now it is r31516-120102. Cropped versions of the songs can be downloaded here:

http://www.vlado-do.de/rockbox/01_Wenn_die_Nacht_am_tiefsten_03m_08s_09h__03m_23s_22h.ogg http://www.vlado-do.de/rockbox/02_Wir_m%C3%BCssen_hier_raus_00m_00s__00m_28s_82h.ogg

They still reproducably crash my Rockbox. I found a workaround, though: mp3 versions of the same songs play all right. Rockbox for me still is the only known way to have gapless playback on my phone. Thanks for that guys!

Buy the way: the same ogg files made no problem in Rockbox on my old iPod nano.

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.

I'm using Rockbox 3.10 with the 01.02.16 Clip+ Firmware on a Sansa Clip+ 8GB, installed via the installer.

There are a lot of 44kHz/16bit FLAC files stored on the device. During playback it could happen that the next track starts while the current one isn't even close to finished. This can be in the first few seconds or in the middle of the song.

This usually doesn't happen to the same song twice. It's generally a different song each time. When skipping back to the track that was skipped, it usually plays without any problems.

The memory has been checked with CHKDSK and no errors were found. The FLACs play fine in foobar2000 and I'm certain that they are okay.

I do believe the error occurs most often after roughly quarter to half an hour of playback.

This may be related to FS#12208

When turning on my Sansa with Rockbox 3.10, the display sometimes goes all white and stays that way until the screensaver kicks in. The player works fine during that time and can be controlled blindly. After the screen turns off and I turn it on again, the screen works as expected. This does not happen all the time, but very often.

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.

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.

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

When I skip backwards 3 songs, Rockbox aborts with the following dump:

Data abort at 60077EB8
FSR 0x1
(domain 0, fault 1)
address 0x00000005

It happens always, playing or in pause. At the 3rd song dumps.

RB version: 04cd1fd-120320

Regards!

Sorry, not sure in which build part of this ceased to function, but I think it was just prior to 3.10

In the Clip Sim's I can no longer access the Lock Screen. "H" used to do this for me, as I recall.

Also, the charge values in the Clip Sim's no longer incrementally increase and decrease. The charge values used to go from 0 to 100 and then back down again.

This applies to the Clip Zip Sim as well. I haven't tried the Fuze Sim.

Thanks.

When you configure Shortcuts to replace the Quick Screen then there is this unwanted behaviour:
Exiting the Shortcuts menu always returns to the Main Menu, not to the screen from which the Shortcuts menu was invoked by pressing the Quick Screen key combination.

Tested on: Sansa Clip+

After updating Rockbox from 3.10 to 3.11.2 on my Ipod Nano 1g i noticed the robotfindskitten game did not work as it should anymore. When robot has touched the first object, the text on the top does not change anymore when touching more objects until he finds kitten. The kitten animation also is hidden behind the text of the first object and the scrolling of the text starts at the end, not at the beginning.
I think it worked fine in 3.10, or at least in 3.9.

Please investigate this problem.
Thanks,
Hugo

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).

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)

Experienced Results:
I have 2 folders(lets call them FolderA and FolderB) each containing audio files.
FolderA and FolderB are both on the root of my drive
Neither one has a database.ignore file in it.
I go to settings → general settings → database → update now
All files are added to the database as expected
…But i realize i dont want FolderB to show up in the database.
I add a database.ignore file at /FolderB/database.ignore
Then I go back in and update the database again(settings → general settings → database → update now)
all of my audio files still show up in the database(including the ones in FolderB with the database.ignore file)

Expected Results:
After adding the database.ignore file to FolderB and updating the database(settings → general settings → database → update now) the audio files in FolderB should no longer appear in the database

Summery:
Any files in a folder containing a database.ignore file should be removed from the database on update

Rockbox Info:
Build Version: daily / e3cddc2-120701

On my newly purchased (but used) Archos Internet Tablet 70 250GB with Android Version 2.2.? (Froyo) I installed the daily build of rasher. Everything works so far, but playback of MP3 (mostly 160 Kbit CBR and ~200 Kbit VBR) pauses briefly every 2 to 3 minutes. I just reformatted the drive, which now has ext3 and that seems to end the pause which I got on FAT32 after ~4 Seconds of every new song, but every 3 minutes or so the playbacks stops for about a second - very annoying. Don't tried other codecs as I don't own any files other than MP3.
I was in the developers menu during one of this pauses, looking at the list of the contributors. The old names fly away to the right, but this was frozen also during this one second timespan - as if the rockbox-process was paused entirely or so.

Device: Sansa Fuze v2 (stable port)
Rockbox Release: 3.12

Recently I have been noticing a problem with themes that allow radio station logos to be displayed on the FMS screen. This is most noticeable with the analog and Fuzemod themes. While the logo displays properly, other images on the screen do not. In the case of the analog theme, the VU meter appears corrupted and with the Fuzemod theme the battery animation, tuning bar slider and playmode indicator icons fail to appear as expected. This problem was not present when either of these themes was used with the releases before version 3.12. In fact this bug appears to have been introduced by one of the experimental daily development builds either in May or June. I have tried different sets of radio station logos and preset lists with these themes but I always get the same result when using version 3.12; everything is fine with any previous release. Since this problem occurs with two different themes along with any combination of radio station logos and preset lists, I can only conclude that it originates with the firmware.

I have attached to this report three generic radio station logos in bitmap format along with a generic preset list. You can put these into /.rockbox/fmpresets and try your own tests. Since the frequencies were selected at random, don’t expect them to tune in anything. Besides, there is nothing wrong with the ability of the Rockbox firmware to tune in radio stations or play their music. The problem starts as soon as the user starts flipping through the station presets, so don’t be shy about changing the station frequently during your tests. I also find that in order to accurately reproduce this problem the Sansa Fuze v2 should be powered off then on again whenever a new theme or preset list is loaded.

I recognize some problem with USB support.

When I’m connecting my player first time, it’s work correct - computer’s mounting device propertly. BUT When I disconnecting it, turn on playing and while music is still playing I’m connecting player once more - Rockbox is crashing and give information about “unidentified instruction at… “. Now player looks like dead - I must reset it and Rockbox start correctly.
When I’m not turning on songs - all works fine.

Sorry for my english…I’m still learining It

when rockbox startup, a loud popping sound will be produced to the output

if plug off the headphone before startup, and plug in on after startup, the popping sound also produced;

if plug it before startup and hear the popping, then re-plug the headphone will not hear any popping again(until i restart the rockbox)

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].

Rockbox versions: all from 3.7 to 3.12

There are really loud and annoying digital squeaks during playback on some tracks only (wma 64-96kbps). Usually the noise occurs when one channel is silent or almost. The problem doesn't occur with the OF. It makes no difference where the song is stored (sd or internal memory). The same tracks play fine on the pc. I attach a portion of a song I've recorded while playing on the device where the noise can be clearly heard.

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.

  Working on:  simulator and samsungypr0

%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

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 :/

Rockbox Daily Build rev 085c10 (2013-01-30)
120gb 7G iPod Classic.

When I connect my rockboxed iPod Classic via Line Out (Apple Dock or Fiio Line Out Adapter) I’m getting heavy distorted with clipping an low volume sound. Headphones out its working while connected to the dock.

Same reported in the mailing list (http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2012-10/0006.shtml). Stock firmware, and rockboxed iPod Video (5.5G) working with the same setting.

I have no programing knowledge, but I’m willing to help!!

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.

The MENU key is mapped to close the Chip8 emulator, so mapping it to a Chip8 key is pointless. This makes some games unplayable.
This may affect other iPod models, I don’t know.

Version: 3.13

Variable ‘tmp’ on line 565 is possibly not initialised (found by cppcheck).

I would like to leave my player charging overnight and have it resume playback in the morning to wake me.

My player remains on when charging and cannot be turned off.

The alarm does not resume playing if the player is already on when the alarm time passes.

I suspect this probably applies to all players, mine is a Sandisk Sansa Clip+.

Rockbox info says v. 3.13 - the stable build grabbed by RockboxUtility, which this bugtracker doesn’t seem to know about yet.

It seems that operators are discarded when used in a tagnavi.config (or tagnavi_custom.config) format line condition.

For example,

%format “fmt_abtitle” “*%s - %02d:%02d” title Lm Ls ? playcount > “0” & lastoffset == “0” %format “fmt_abtitle” “%s - %02d:%02d” title Lm Ls Now if we used “fmt_abtitle” instead of “fmt_title” in the default tagnavi file, we would expect all tracks with a playcount greater than 0 and lastoffset equal to zero to be prefixed by three asterixes (*). Instead ALL the tracks with a playcount greater than zero are prefixed, leading me to think that the & lastoffset == “0” part is discarded. If I make the following change:

%format “fmt_abtitle” “***%s - %02d:%02d” title Lm Ls ? lastoffset == “0” & playcount > “0” %format “fmt_abtitle” “%s - %02d:%02d” title Lm Ls

Now all tracks with a lastoffset equal to zero are prefixed, which again proves that the and operator was clearly ignored and unparsed.

Latest version of rockbox installed on both Sansa e200 2GB and Sansa Clip Zip 4GB. (3.13) Sorry, release 3.12 was the only one available in the reported version pulldown.

Windows 7 Pro 16GB RAM, i5-2500K, 3.3GHz/ 3.6 GHz, 64-bit. 7.3 Windows Experience Index. OS is otherwise stable and up-to-date.

Blue Screen of Death only happens when I try to connect first one Sansa Device via USB to Windows, transfer mp3’s or update a theme, unplug it, then connect a second Sansa different device. It doesn’t matter whether I start with the e200 or the Clip Zip or vice versa. Upon immediately connecting via USB with the second device, I get a BSOD. I have two e200 devices. It can happen sometimes even when I connect first one e200, then the other.

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.

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

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?

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.

http://www.konscience.de/wp-content/uploads/kns017-maertyrer-gegen-copyright.m4a

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

parsing /kns017-maertyrer-gegen-copyright.m4a failed (format: ALAC)

However, foobar reports:

Codec profile : AAC SBR

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

http://web.mit.edu/mgg6/www/cover.jpg

This file is correctly decoded and displayed in the Fuze+ simulator, but testing on device results in playback stopping. Interestingly, nothing crashes, playback just stops. In theory we should be able to decode this, the resizer does not need to load more than a few lines of the image at once, which should easily fit in memory. Alternatively, if it is too large (or rather wide given that its decoded line by line) for the available space, it should probably just be rejected.

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.

## This was tried out with Sansa Fuzev2 simulator version d392da8-140922, built from git on a 64 bit Linux system ##

I discovered something which seems to be a bug somewhere in the place where WPS get interpreted or rendered.

When I use a scrolling line just after a line containing sublines, the scrolling line stops scrolling as soon as the sublines change the first time.

Below are steps to reproduce it on the UI simulator for the Sansa Fuzev2. I think it also works without using a clear configuration. I haven’t tested with a real device, only with the simulator.

Attached are a .wps-file showing the buggy behaviour (’scrollline_after_sublines_bug.buggy.wps’), and a .wps-file working correctly (’scrollline_after_sublines_bug.workaround.wps’), which are the same files as quoted below.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

(0) Use Sansa Fuzev2 simulator version d392da8-140922, build from git on a 64 bit Linux system.

(1) Use a clear configuration, so erase

    .rockbox/.playlist_control
    .rockbox/config.cfg
    .rockbox/nvram.bin
    .rockbox/database.ignore
  in your 'simdisk' directory.

(2) Start the rockbox UI simulator

(3) Change the theme to ‘rockbox_failsafe’, i.e. in the menu, do the following:

• ‘Settings’ → ‘Theme Settings’ → ‘Browse Theme Files’ → ‘rockbox_failsafe.cfg’
• ‘Settings’ → ‘Theme Settings’ → ‘While Playing Screen’ → ‘rockbox_failsafe.wps’
• ‘Settings’ → ‘Theme Settings’ → ‘Radio Screen’ → ‘rockbox_failsafe.fms’
• ‘Settings’ → ‘Theme Settings’ → ‘Base Skin’ → ‘rockbox_failsafe.sbs’

(4) Use the following .wps-file as the “While Playing Screen” skin:

=⇒ # Two sublines:
Text1;Text2
# A long line, scrolling:
%sA very long text which is meant to scroll because it is longer than the screen is wide.
# Another line of just text (Not needed to reproduce the bug, but if it is swapped with the long line above, the long line scrolles correctly):
Textline.
#### Here the following Bug appears:
# When the Line ‘Text1;Text2’ changes the sublines the first time, the subsequent line stops scrolling. It happens when the sublines change; as when you use ‘%t(5)Text1;Text2’, the scrolling stops only after 5 seconds, when the sublines actually change.

Workaround:
(4a) Put the scrolling line not directly after a line with sublines. The following .wps as the “While Playing Screen” skin works:

=⇒ # Two sublines:
Text1;Text2
# Another line of just text. Needed to make the long line scrolling correctly:
Textline.
# A long line, scrolling:
%sA very long text which is meant to scroll because it is longer than the screen is wide.
#### Here the bug does not appear, the long line scrolls corretly. But when the long scrolling line is put just below the line with the sublines, it stops scrolling as soon as the sublines change for the first time.

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.
