Rockbox

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.

When listing to a mp3 for some time there starts a massive random noise in the background. It will continue for some time when pausing or stopping playback and will also continue when starting another track.
I’ve noticed this when listening to a random list of mp3s of various sources and using speedup with 225% or 250%.

At the moment I’m using ee758c5 with my clip+.

Using the latest revision (r20001 - but its been broken since I started using Rockbox) the iAudio M3 does not recharge the battery using either the USB or the Power adapter.

The only way I can get the iAudio M3 to charge is to use Cowon’s firmware.

EXTM3U is a format based on the standard m3u format. It adds a comment line before filename in .m3u or .m3u8 file in the format of
#EXTINF:xxx,yyy
where xxx is track length in seconds, yyy is the title.

For more info, see: http://hanna.pyxidis.org/tech/m3u.html

Supporting EXTM3U format has several potential benefits:
1. Instead of displaying filenames, track title and length can easily be viewed when viewing playlist (currently I think there is a patch that does it by opening each file).
2. Length of playlist can be readily calculated by summing, which can have some interesting applications such as finding how much time is left in current playlist. (Currently this is not possible yet with this patch, but I’m still thinking of possible solutions).

Of course, you have to have playlists in EXTM3U format to get the benefits. There are widely available tools to generate EXTM3U or add information to existing normal m3u playlists. In the future I might add functionality to Rockbox to save EXTM3U playlists (only if database is enabled and ready) or a plugin.

The current patch is able to parse EXTM3U information and use it in playlist viewer. To see it work, you have to set your track display option in the playlist menu to display EXTM3U information; otherwise, filename will be displayed. Two display options are added: title only and title plus track length.

This patch should have very minimal impact on normal playlist usage. A parse function and a few booleans values to existing structures are added, but the parsed title and filename share the same buffer (since they won’t be displayed at the same time). Specifically, beside a quick initial reading of header to determine if a playlist is EXTM3U and a few boolean checks, current playlist parsing/viewing routines are not changed if playlist is not EXTM3U or EXTM3U information is not needed for display.

Enough of me babbling :D Here is the patch. I did some limited testing, so it probably is not foul-proof yet.

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。

When playing music sometimes crackling sound especially when playing bass

Previous song and Fast Backward are unable to work

Click on the music file and die

The Sazanami-Mincho-Regular-*.fnt includes 7128 characters.
However, there are about 7500 character not included in the Sazanami-Mincho-Regular-*.fnt though it is included in the sazanami-mincho.ttf font (This font is a font that became an origin when the Sazanami-Mincho-Regular-*.bdf font is made).

Please look at “List.txt” file about the character not included in the Sazanami-Mincho-Regular-*.fnt.

The cause of this problem is in “fontForge”(http://fontforge.sourceforge.net)
used when the bdf file is made from the ttf file.

When the bdf file was made by using　”Otf2bdf”(http://www.math.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/Software/otf2bdf/) instead of “fontForge”, all characters included in the ttf file were able to be taken out.

However, when you make the Sazanami-Mincho-Regular-*.fnt by using Sazanami-mincho-Regular-*.bdf that applies the patch,
The interval between the line and the line opens from present Sazanami-Mincho-Regular-*.fnt a little.

Please report by using new Sazanami-Mincho-Regular-*.fnt(in new-Sazanami-Mincho-Regular-fonts.zip).

It is a patch that can automatically output the result of logf to the
file.

The setting of default doesn’t output the result of the logf to the
file.
Please set and do the following when it is effective.

System > Debug > logf auto file output: select "Yes"

Create database application.

1) At first FS9349 patch file (http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9349?getfile=17401) apply.

2) After this task’s patch apply.

The search condition of tagnavi (eg. =, >, ^,…) doesn't return a correct search result to characters other than the Latin alphabet.

For example;
1) artist ^ "A"

    Neither "Ándre" nor "ándre" appear to the search result. 

2) artist = "Ándre"

    Neither "Andre" nor "andre" appear to the search result. 

My patch file solves such a problem.

Because it doesn't test enough.
There is still a possibility that the search result is not correct
according to the character used.
Please report.

About performance

The search time is slow than before. 
I will improve this in the future. 

About patch
　　Please execute make zip (or make fullzip) after applying
the patch to the source file.

　　There is uni.mt(or unimini.mt) in .rockbox/codepages folder
when rockbox.zip is unziped, and copy this file onto your player's
.rockbox/coepages.
(The search result doesn't correct if there is no uni.mt(or unimini.mt)).

About search result
1) It is considered that the character that is the difference
　　　of the uppercase, titlecase and the lowercase is the same.

   eg. A = a, Ω = ω

2) It is considered that the character with the pronunciation sign
(accent, umlaut, etc.) is the same as the character to which these are not attached.

   eg. A = Á

3) The combination character is considered to be a character that divides into each character.
　　eg. Œ　= O E

4) Only Japanese: the Hiragana, the halfwidth Katakana are considered to be the same character as the fullwidth Katakana.

eg. あ = ア, ｱ = ア

Building Rockbox fails if assert() (in firmware/include/assert.h) is used.

Then, I reworked assert.h.

changes:
When assert() failed, the correction that displayed the file name, the number of lines, and the condition of failing was done.
Moreover, when the log was enabled, the log was output to the file.

Please select the following to make assert() enabled when you make Rockbox.

1) Run tools/configure

2) Build (N)ormal, (A)dvanced, (S)imulator, (B)ootloader, …

    Select "A"

3) (D)EBUG, (L)ogf, (A)ssert, (S)imulator, (P)rofile, (V)oice

   Select "A"

4) make

For 15-Adobe-Helvetica.bdf:

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

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

I send this bug’s patch.

The Rockbox firmware and cross compilers build by using MinGW.

It is necessary to use MSYS’s make (MinGW’s make (mingw32-make) does not used.).

The cross_compilers.zip is a patch file necessary to make cross compilers using by rockboxdev.sh.

I confirmed the Rockbox firmware, codecs and plugins was built by using the compiler on MinGW.
But I can not confirm whether the Rockbox executes excluding iPod video.

Could you confirm operation to various 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 all!
After 3.10 update I usually get my player frozen with usb plug icon if I connect it to any USB host while the player is off.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Power off the iPod.
2. Plug it to Usb host. (tested with mac and Android)
3. Wait the system to boot.
4. It freezes with usb connect icon (no menu bar). Only holding Menu+Select help.

Thanks. Great firmware!

r30804
The rockbox (r30804) Can't play ape files with CUEsheet (APE + CUE files).

Android:
The Notification bar which use "Remoteviews" may be not suitable for some ICS Roms (see Attachment).
So I change the Remoteviews to "Notification.setLatestEventInfo" to display the track information.

The patch may have some offsets.
