Version 9e186e34ab-190820

i have an ipod 7th gen
rockbox installed
140.000 titles

database contains in unpredictable many cases of the folders 2 times the same title
not in all folders, but it happens very often that i open one and i see all titles 2x although they are only 1x on the sd card

the files exist only ONCE
but the database keeps listing them all 2 times

i rebuilt it several times, but the database keeps on doing that

any hint what i can do?

start as apple / itunes and delete rockbox folder / install new did not help

Starting from the daily build from mid August (can’t exactly say when, because I don’t play MIDIs so often), the MIDI playback on my iPod 5G 30GB sounds distorted, especially the Piano sample.

It sounds as if the higher frequencies are chopped of and instead replaced by “alias frequencies”. Maybe something has been messed up in the mixing routine concerning decimation filter / interpolation.

I am using the original patchset provided here at rockbox.org.

Maybe somebody could check this - thank you!

Keep up the great work!

I am working on adding album art support for FLAC and Ogg files. FLAC looks straightfoward, but there is a design problem with Ogg.

https://wiki.xiph.org/VorbisComment#Cover_art

The struct containing the image and associated data is base64 encoded. I can't just set id3→albumart.pos to a location in the file like all other supported album art formats (and FLAC). Obivously I could allocate memory for the decoded base64 data, but it would have to be deallocated later to prevent a leak.

On IRC, nick_p suggested: "how about adding a new id3 struct element id3→albumart.base64_encoded=true and decoding it when needed on the fly?" This sounds like a good idea, with one issue: it's not the album art alone that is base64 encoded, but the data struct described here:

http://flac.sourceforge.net/format.html#metadata_block_picture

I can test to see if I can parse the beginning of the base64 block, then set the pos pointer to the middle of of the block (with the id3 struct addition) and see if it will still decode.

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.

There is an ALAC playback problem in daily builds (since 2014-11). The playback somethimes works for one song but then crashes and shows ALAC file details as "? kbit/s", "0 MHz", "0 MB" and nothing happens when I press the Play button. After reboot the problem occurs again. It makes the ALAC playback impossible.

Now I'm using revision 9cb9f76M-140326 with patches from aroldan:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b5xbw6cp4ikfxwn/MjELjmDNJ_

With this build there are no ALAC playback problems.

I’m using 42a725f, and after frequency scaling implementation, sometimes the player slowdown extremely, being unusable (don’t stop playing, only small gaps in audio occur).
Less frequently, the player freezes.

I noticed it’s happens more frequently if the device is just powered on, and hits play. If I wait a few seconds before resuming play, the freezes are less frequent.

- How often does this happen?
* Frequently, about 2 o 3 times a day (4 hour average playback time, with several shutdown/boot in the middle)

- playing which file format (mp3, ogg, flac, mpc, etc…)?
* Confirmed with mp3 and flac

- which lcd is your device?

Hello.

Can you somebody add some info about using talkclip for shortcuts.txt
in manual section 5.14 Shortcuts.

I'd recommend replace this

 "talkclip: <filename clip of a talk that speak When voice menus are enabled>"

for this

"talkclip: <filename clip with full path of a talk that speak When voice menus are enabled
 (example /.rockbox/filename.talk)>"

I suggest this because I took a long time before I figured out how it should be properly.

This patch adds fairly decent support for the sliderbar on the front of the iRiver H10 series players. This functionality is prominently displayed on the H10 wiki as something that is significant and missing.

With this patch the user can slide his finger over the slider to produce a scrolling effect. Or, they may also tap or hold down the upper or lower 30% of the slider for the older up/down behaviour with auto-repeat provided by the common code. This basically mimics the OF’s functionality.

The physical slider is very sensitive, so the values that come back from it are fairly spastic. I’ve attempted to tone down any wild behaviour, and I’ve added #defines in the patch that can be used to tune the behaviour. But frankly, even the user’s thumb size will affect what “good” values are. I believe what I have is good for the time being, but more tweaking may be necessary as time goes on.

This patch adds an additional menu option to the list of WPS hotkey choices, “Announce Information”. This voices basic information about the player, currently playing file and current tracklist.

This feature reads a simple definition with a single line of no more than 20 characters from the file “announce.cfg” in the .rockbox directory.

This definition consists of a string of single character tokens, each of which announces a particular canned piece of information.

The tokens are:

A - current time
B - elapsed time and total length of the current track
C - current track number and total tracks in playlist
D - battery level as a percentage
E - battery remaining in hours and minutes
F - sleep timer remaining in minutes

If more than one token is specified, more than one piece of information is announced, so:

AB

would announce the time followed by elapsed time and track length

Multiple announcements may be bound to the hotkey by separating one or more groups of tokens with a “:”

A:DF

In this example, the first time the hotkey is pressed, the time is announced. If it is pressed again within 10 seconds, the battery level and sleep timer are announced and so on.

A space between tokens adds a short pause to the announcement.

If no announce.cfg file is present, the time is announced by default.

This patch adds to the simulator the ability to simulate usb on a Linux host.
To do this, you'll need to download, build and install a device driver. You can download it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/usb-vhci/files/ Just download the "linux kernel module". See install instruction in it but it's make && make install. Of course you'll need root rights. There also a wiki about it (http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/usb-vhci/index.php?title=Main_Page)

Now to have usb simulation works correctly you'll of course need to load the driver
modprobe vhci-hcd
And you'll probably need to edit the access rights of the device control device:
violent example: chmod 0666 /dev/vhci-ctrl
other example: chown root:<myself> /dev/vhci-ctrl
Or you can add a udev rule if you can make this work.

You can then run the simulator normally (note the the detection is at runtime so you don't need to have it work before launching the simulator).
Press 'u' to simulate usb insertion and 'u' once more the simulate usb removal.

Some miscellaneous remarks:
-the patch enables usb hid but for some reasons it doesn't work in main menu. However, the remote_control plugins works
-the patch enables usbserial which of no interest here but a way to test bulk transfers
-the patch DOESN'T enable usbstorage because storage simulation is a stub currently.

If it doesn't work, you can still uncomment this line in usb-drc.c:
/*#define USB_VHCI_DRIVER_DEBUG*/
And this line in usb-core.c:
/*#define LOGF_ENABLE*/
But beware ! Your console will end up full of obscure messages.

I'm particulary interested in compile feedback under Windows and OSX.
And of course I'm interested in working feedback ranging from device detection to working state (HID and usbserial) for example.

The attached patch adds an indication of the current touchscreen mode to the "classic_statusbar" skin. This is useful since some screens automatically change mode, and there's currently no indication the user when this happens. The patch does the following:

- Adds a new WPS tag (%Tm) to return the current touch mode (Absolute|Grid)
- Updates classic_statusbar.sbs to conditionally show the correct icon

The reason I've made this a Flyspray task rather than just committing it is because the additions to classic_statusbar.sbs will also apply to non-touchscreen targets (though nothing will appear on screen). While the impact on these targets is minimal, I'm not sure about committing it since it will at least cause the new touchmode.bmp to be loaded unneccesarily.

Also, feel free to design some better icons!

Following my patch to control line-out on the Fuze via a setting on the quickscreen (FS#12074), I found I kept forgetting to leave the quickscreen. This meant that when I intended to change track, I was actually changing the shuffle / repeat settings etc and had to fiddle around to get back to where I wanted to - not a good idea when driving at >70mph!

The attached patch adds a configurable timeout to the quickscreen so that it returns to the WPS screen if no button is touched within N seconds. 0 (the default) will disable the timeout preserving the existing behaviour.

Here’s a patch to version r29143M-110324 that adds the Zipit Z2 as a build target. It requires one new file (also attached) firmware/target/hosted/zipit/powermgmt-zipit-z2.c to monitor the battery.

This is mostly a generic SDL app with a few tweaks for the Zipit buttons and battery monitoring. The patch also includes a few small bug fixes for SDL app builds. I had to fix the labels in the asm section of lcd-16bit.c. There were some missing parenthesis on an #ifdef in button-application.c. And the apps/SOURCES file needs an #ifdef to handle an SDL app build without touchscreen support.

As of r21894, the pitch changing mode (in the pitch screen) can only be toggled (cycled through) in one direction. However it would be handy to be able to cycle in the other direction to change procentual vs. semitone while still staying in the time stretch mode. This patch adds such a possibility.

The key mappings is only defined for H1xx and H3xx (as a long press of Mode). Please add keys for other platfroms.

This adds the translatable string LANG_DISC for display in WPS themes. E.g. a theme could use the following to show “Disc 2” for a multidisc album:

%?ik<%Sx|Disc| %ik|>

Disc is a 4 or 5 letter word in most languages, so it won’t add much clutter in themes which would like to make use of this. A comparable example is the “Next:” (LANG_NEXT) which is used when displaying the next track in a playlist.

This patch allows the line out on the Sansa Fuze V2 to be enable/disabled by means of the existing Lineout poweroff setting (previously used on some iPods).

By assigning this setting to the quickscreen I can switch between headphones and lineout after plugging into the dock. Still no luck in finding out how to autodetect the dock.

I'm not 100% sure that re-using the "Lineout Poweroff" setting is the right thing to do here as it's not powering on/off the line-out - just switching between headphones and line out

This patch adds a secondary backlight timeout (similar to what the the iPod OF does).

It adds two extra settings: secondary backlight timeout and secondary brightness (I'm not sure wrt the naming of those, any suggestions?)

The code isn't very clean, but it works (except for CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_FADING == BACKLIGHT_FADING_PWM targets, for which I haven't implemented this).

Please test this.

I’ve noticed that many plugins don’t have the Playback Control menu even though they could. I’m going to have a go at fixing that.

I’ve categorised the plugins which could use the menu like so:

Already have a standard-ish menu (not bitmap), it just needs to be added:
bubbles
chessbox
chopper
minesweeper
reversi
superdom
wormlet
xobox
clock
fireworks
vu_meter

These are the easiest case, it’s just a matter of adding the menu item.

Don’t have a menu that makes sense to add Playback Control to (either they don’t have a menu at all, or they only have a start-menu that can’t be usefully returned to):
flipit
invadrox
maze
robotfindskitten
rockblox
rockblox1d
rocklife
sliding_puzzle
snake
snake2
spacerocks
star
stopwatch
mandelbrot
oscilloscope

These are a mixed bunch. Some could actually use a menu, and some could just have a key assigned to bring up the Playback Control menu. More involved than the first bunch in general.

Already have a menu, but it’s really custom in some way. They either need to be switched to more standard menus, or something special needs to be done:
brickmania
chessclock
pegbox
rockpaint

These will probably be the most work.

Let me know if I forgot any plugins, or if you think it doesn’t make sense to add the menu to a plugin that I’ve listed above.

Attached is a patch for the first bunch. The others will be coming eventually.

I’d appreciate it if you leave this FS entry open until I get to the second and third bunch, even if the first bunch happens to get commited to svn.

This patch will add a setting, called "Scroll Bar Border", which will determine whether menus / lists will have scrollbars with borders or not.

The default value for this setting is "yes", so that it matches previous behavior.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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 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.

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?)

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.

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?

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 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.

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)

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.

When I play the file in mplayer, it gives the following info:
major_brand: M4A
minor_version: 512
compatible_brands: isomiso2
encoder: Lavf52.64.2
========================================================================Opening audio decoder: [faad] AAC (MPEG2/4 Advanced Audio Coding)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

%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

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 ?

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.

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 LCD is highly unreliable: sometimes it displays dots and sometimes it stays black.

Rockbox crashes after USB unplug.

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
