Rockbox

This is a first attempt at creating an entry for the new fft plugin. The button table was automatically generated with the attached python script.

The script takes a file (or - for stdin), looks for an #ifdef CONFIG_KEYPAD….#endif block and if it finds one (and it is relatively simple), it parses it and creates the corresponding LaTeX table.

The script is extremely simple but it does provide a good basis for further work.

Added seeking by holdplus/holdminus buttons, pause/play by holdmenu button, hiding the OSD panel by briefly pressing power switch.

The patch fix the multiple-language feature, maintaining the same behaviour in interactive and batch mode and with “make reconf”. Now it’s possible to build more than one voice language at once, specifying different engine and option set for each one.
So, running “make voice”, all the selected languages will be built.

To help the comprehension, here it is a batch mode sample:

../tools/configure –target=ipodvideo –ram=64 –type=av –language=italiano,espanol –tts=f,e –voice=lp_diphone –ttsopts=, –encopts=’-q 10 -c 10,-q 5 -c 5’

This is like to run:

../tools/configure –target=ipodvideo –ram=64 –type=av –language=italiano –tts=f –voice=lp_diphone –ttsopts=’ ' –encopts=’-q 10 -c 10’

../tools/configure –target=ipodvideo –ram=64 –type=av –language=espanol –tts=e –voice=lp_diphone –ttsopts=’ ' –encopts=’-q 5 -c 5’

In the first case, I set the language to italian, using festival with voice lp_diphone (female), no further festival options and some manual encoder options.
In the second case, I set the language to spanish, using espeak. Even if I set the voice, the value is ignored, since the selected TTS engine doesn’t use it.

I also added some cosmetics, like some very circumstantial indentation, blank check in rootdir too, simpler numbered menu generation, some terser command pipes.

The patch is applied to r22250.

I don’t know if it’s a really wanted feature, but the word in the script hurt me!

I tried to make the first shot on adding fm radio support for the Samsung YH-* devices.

–

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 bug currently exists as of rev 21444.

If settings are modified on the recording screen they aren't persistent after a reboot unless another setting is changed somewhere in the menu system.

The problem is that global_settings is being modified without a subsequent call to settings_save().

Attached is a fix for this problem. I've so far only tested it on the h1x0 simulator but I think it's a pretty benign change, unlikely to cause problems on other targets.

This patch enables you to compile the Rockbox simulator with LLVM (you still need to alter the Makefile yourself though).

However, it fails at linking stage with 'file not recognized: File truncated' errors.

This plugin searches in the .rockbox/rocks/apps/drumkit directory for .raw sound files, loads them into memory, and assigns the keys to play them, creating a drumkit /sample trigger / instrument out of the player. Currently only designed for the Sansa e200.

Room for improvement:

- Add keymaps for all
Allow multiple samples to be played at the same time (by using
Allow for a variety of sound file types to be
Find a better name

Since FM stations list may require that the FM region is set to a certain value, it would be good if the FM region could be set along with the station list. The patch does just that.

The region is set by putting the line “region:N” into the FMR file (at any line there). N can be one of the values allowed for the fm_region setting.

The patch does not work on the simulators for e200 and h120 (the only two I tried) because, for some reason, the symbol HAVE_RADIO_REGION is not defined for them. Could anybody tell why?

Saving the region along with the station list is not implemented.

Using a bootloader from  FS#9955 , a USB connection is not made if Start Screen is set to WPS, and the user boots Rockbox by inserting a USB cable.

This is possibly also true for other values of Start Screen.

Tested on e280, but I expect it’ll likely be the case on other PP targets with USB

I have been using Rockbox for almost 2 years now on my X5L together with the remote and I have frequently updated to the current version, so I am familiar with how it works.

I have noticed that after updating to version 20090221, my X5’s remote’s LCD behaves erratically (strange lines being displayed all over, vertically shaky image) right after booting Rockbox, then the display turns off completely after a few seconds. Strangely though, the controls still work and the blue display light comes on when working the controls, but the display is turned off (there is nothing being displayed, as if the player were turned off). If I unplug and reconnect the remote, the remote’s LCD comes on, but soon turns off again. The X5’s main LCD is working just fine.

I thought that my remote was dying on me, but decided to check if it was somehow related to the development of Rockbox. I reverted back one build after another and found that the last build that works OK for my remote is 20090210. So, in all the builds starting with 20090211 (I have thoroughly checked all from 20090211 to 20090225), the remote is practically unusable. I looked at the changes done on that day (http://www.rockbox.org/daily/changelogs/changes-20090211.html), but could not single out the probable cause.

Great software, anyway!

“First Keypress Enables Backlight Only” doesn’t work on the 5G iPod. For example, if that’s enabled, the backlight is off and I press next track while at the WPS, Rockbox will go to the next track.

It seems like clickwheel event(s) generated when I touch the wheel turn on the backlight. When the button is pressed, the backlight is already considered to be on and the button press performs its usual action. If I carefully hold my finger still on the clickwheel, let the backlight fade, and then carefully press a button without moving my finger on the clickwheel, I am able to turn on the backlight without causing anything else to happen.

I don’t know what to do about this. Requiring a physical button press might be annoying. Removing this option on affected targets might be okay, because it’s easy to turn on the backlight by touching the clickwheel (and that doesn’t seem to cause anything else to happen). Another possibility is to require more or specific wheel events.

I set player type to iPod 5G because that’s all I have, but I expect this problem also exists on other clickwheel iPods. This problem exists on r20079 and r20033.

Here’s a patch to have a functional usb_serial driver allowing the use of “Logf over Usb” debug function.

This patch is a continuation of FS#9879 and includes it (but adds something more). It adds the possibility to switch the lamp on and off without leaving the plugin.

Key mappings were taken from FS#8934.

I was reading http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=17079.0 and thought I’d take a swing at it. So far, I have added (potentially shaky?) support for the ‘#’ comments in the file posted, allowing both Windows and Linux line ending formats, and longer filename support.
Still having problems with the white space after each entry, and detecting or assuming the presence of the file extension.

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

This patch will correct how thai vowels and tonal makers display.

I’d like to suggest the following new WPS feature(s):

1. A viewport can be assigned an image as a “backdrop”.

 a. A viewport may be assigned an image dynamically via the WPS tag "%VX<identifier>"
   (i.e. %VXa for image a, %VXZ for image Z, etc.)
  b. As a viewport is being processed and drawn, its backdrop would be drawn "first", followed by any other normal images/characters.

2. Viewport may define FF00FF as a background color, which would then be “transparent”. This would allow overlapping viewports.

3. Fonts drawn in a viewport with a backdrop would automatically be drawn with DRMODE_FG.

Notes on the attached patch file:
+ It was created from the SVN revision 18997 on Nov 3, 2008.
+ Although I stubbed in the new functions for all the LCD drivers, I’ve only flushed out the 16 bit driver so far.

Cheers!

Hello World :)
Attached is a VBR WMA music file, which fails to play correctly on my “RockPod” iPod Nano.
The same file decodes perfectly using the latest ffmpeg build.
Therefore I can only assume there is something about this file which triggers a bug in the Rockbox-specific WMA decoder.
Also attached is a microphone recording of the sound which comes out of my iPod when Rockbox attempts to play the faulty WMA.

I have over 3000 WMA tracks, all encoded using an identical method, all of which will not play correctly in rock box, so if you would like any more examples, or information, please ask.

Thanks for all your help :)
(If there is any way I can help debug/update the code for the wma decoder, please let me know where to start, I understand the C source code pretty well)

This patch changes the iriver H300 series bootloader's power and usb handling. When a USB or Power plug are inserted into the H300, it will now boot as normal, not stop in the bootloader usb/charging modes. This was mainly for use in my car, but is also helpful for people with charging cradles for their computers.

Forum thread can be found here http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=17202.0

Dumb patch but introduces handling for non triangular faces (by triangulating them when rendering). Vertices courtesy of http://mackayj.doosh.net/eliteships.html (in particular I hand-converted http://mackayj.doosh.net/files/vrml/eliteships/cobra3.wrl)

This patch adds an option to disable the speed limiting that slows down seeking as you approach the end or beginning of a track.

It defaults to limiting enabled, to maintain compatibility. Personally, I prefer the fast seeking without the limiting.

The manual is not included, I can't compile them still…

Hi all.

I have found a funny thing, which should get fixed. In set_prescaled_volume there is this call:
audiohw_set_lineout_vol(tenthdb2master(0), tenthdb2master(0));

As far as I can see this call is not needed here. So this patch removes it, but as I own only a sansa e280 I can not test this change. I hope to commit this soon.

If this call is needed… do we need it every time audio changes or only once at init?

Thanks,
AustrianCOder

When recording, as file size reaches 25.2MB and again at 52.4MB respectively, disk thrashing noise drowns out the recording for about 2 minutes.
This occurs at about 27.5 minutes if recording as mp3.
And about 5.25 minutes if recording as wav.

I am assuming that Rockbox is filling a cache and then dumping the file to disk all at once.

I would expect it to write quietly. Even if it where to write on the fly, the noise would be reduced to short bursts. 2 minutes of interruption is just not acceptable. I missed out on important information during those 2 minute periods.

How can we eliminate write noise altogether? Or at least in the recording itself.

Select ‘FM Radio’ Choose your station.
Then from the menu select ‘Recording’ Press ‘play’ or ‘Rec’ to begin recording.
Wait for file size to reach about 28MB. Then stop.

I can also provide recordings if necessary.

*note: I also had the USB cord attached to give better FM reception.
tested on e260 & e280

It would be useful to change the configure and voice.pl files in order to allow the user to choose also the Loquendo and ViaVoice TTS

The attached patch slightly modifies the keymap of the H300 non-LCD remote to allow access to the browser from the WPS (by use of LONG PLAY).

I know that it works ok from an H300 with a non-LCD remote, but I don’t know if I’ve broken the LCD remotes completely.

Please could users of both the H100 and H300 LCD remotes try this patch and tell me that the WPS context keymap is unaffected. For reference, you can see the intended mapping here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/KeymapIriverHSeries

Some improvements for voicebox on windows. Mainly an option to voice file extensions. Not perfect yet. Instead of an option to voice file extensions there are two voice files options in the hta file. Anyone know what is wrong with this?
Thanks

The patch reorganizes Rockboy to use the same method for storing GB frame buffer data on greyscale targets as color targets. As a result, support for greyscale iPods is much easier and has been implemented (inspired by FS #5282).

Some other changes include:
- Enable the menu for iRiver H100
- Ability to “Show Stats” on all targets
- Screen is redrawn all at once on greyscale instead of line by line
- Elimination of fb.mode (all targets use options.scaling for scaling options)
- Elimination of fb.cc on non-color targets
- Minor variable renaming
- Unification of LCD variables (vdest vs frameb)
- Move greyscale LCD code into lcd.c
- ifdef out vid_update() on greyscale and color targets

Since I don’t have an iPod, I’m curious to see how well this works. It should be fine since the patch my work is based on seems to work for people.

I really need iRiver H1X0 users to test this. There are significant changes to the LCD code and I’d like to know if the is any speed change, whether its an improvement or not. I’d guess that it’s slightly faster or the same as SVN but there’s always a chance that it is slower.

This is the first plugin I’ve ever written from scratch, and well, it was fun. I haven’t worked out how to use bitmaps yet, bear with me, for now it uses coloured rectangles. Still learning :p.

If this were to get committed, please wait until I’ve added better support for more targets, commented as many lines as are possible to help other people new to making plugins, potentially add AI (Although that would kinda ruin it as it would probably force a draw every time), and figured out how to use bitmaps properly.

If people are willing to test this out for me and tell me any bugs, please do so. I have tested this on the H10, the Gigabeat, and, using the simulator, the iPod mini G2 (Which displays it but out of alignment, will work on that soon.

I realize it’s not too exciting, but for my first real bit of work in C I’m happy :p.

Patch changes controls for Doom:

Forward: rec/up
Left/Right: scrollwheel (it needs a lot of scrolls for large turns, but hopefully it can be modified to work better in the future)
Back: down
Shoot/Enter (menu): select
Change weapon: left
Open: right
Esc: power

The scrollpad on the H10 (20gb, not sure about 5/10gb) has always bothered me with being jumpy, inaccurate, and unintuitive. At the moment (in rockbox) it seems as though it is working as a simple two button device (up/down), with no real dragging capabilities. I am wondering if this is a limitation of the hardware or current software implementation.

The original firmware seemed to work as follows:
split slider into upper and lower field. Tapping in either upper or lower half would create click-type event for up/down. Dragging in upper half would produce scroll up, draggin in lower half would produce scroll down events. The problem was that upper and lower halves are really kinda arbitrary and not easily distinguishable.

What I think would work nicely:
Tapping top and bottom, as before. Remove upper and lower restrictions for dragging, i.e. if dragging down (anywhere on the scrollpad) create scroll down event, if dragging up (again, anywhere) create scroll up event. Drag and hold will scroll in desired direction proportional to the drag speed (as in pushing a puck on ice). Hold (just hold, no tap or drag) on the touchpad creates a sliding value that can be used as a coordinate for different types of continuous input.

To implement this, we’d need some kind of knowledge about what signals the actual hardware provides, what resolution the pad has, i.e. what the physical and logical implementations of the device are. I am not sure how the Ipod scrollwheel works, but it seems that some of that code could be re-purposed, maybe?

Playing APE 24/44.1 with harsh noise in different parts of the track. If you decode APE file to WAV using the codec console, then there are no problems. So the matter is in the player’s APE decoder.

At 24/48 everything is fine.

Neither of the tools, ipodpatcher or Rockbox Utility 1.4.0, work on macOS Catalina.

Catalina removed 32bit support.

Using ipodpatcher generates the following error:

bash-3.2$ ./ipodpatcher
bash: ./ipodpatcher: Bad CPU type in executable

And Rockbox Utility has a white circle with a line through it indicating that it does not work with this version of the OS.

(see attached file)

I store the album art by putting a folder.jpg file in the album's directory.
Any WPS on other players shows the cover pictures properly if album art is enabled in the theme.

I am aware of caveats like progressive jpgs, that are not supported by RB.

In the attached zip file, there are four directories with a folder.jpg file and a free opus file for demonstration purposes.

All pictures show up fine on my Sansa E200 (v1) using CabbieV2 or lebellium_Samsung-like.
However, on my XduOO x3ii the pictures are not displayed for the examples 1 - 3, but show for example 4.

None of the jpgs are progressive and I cannot figure out a difference between 1-3 and 4.

I don't know how to debug this further myself, but would be happy doing any furter experiments.

This is true for the current dev builds, e.g. b450707955.

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

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

310 |      ATTRIBUTE_GCC_PPDIAG(2,3);
    |      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

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

Bug exists in the DEV builds for, at least, Sansa Clip+, Sansa Fuze+, and iPod Video for at least a year, although I cannot confirm this as I've only just now tracked down the problem. The issue was discovered because imagemagick occasionally selects 1x2,1x2,1x2 as the chroma sampling factor when converting an image.

To recreate this bug, convert any image using imagemagick to a JPEG with that chroma sampling factor and attempt to view it in Rockbox. What you will see is a nonsensical image to the size of the original JPEG. Any desktop image viewer, like eyeofgnome, renders the picture correctly.

I've also included a sample Rockbox logo generated in the faulty fashion along with this bug. To create it, run this command in a Unix-like with imagemagick and curl installed: 'curl -J -L "https://www.rockbox.org/rockbox400.png" | convert - -sampling-factor 1x2,1x2,1x2 -quality 100 folder.jpg'

Ordinarily, when Rockbox is shut off and turned back on, it will remember the position in the last-played song, and begin playing from where you left off. However, in the latest build, Rockbox doesn't remember the last track that was playing if the file used a relative path. This happens on every version of 3.14 including the current daily build (2017-11-13).

Here is how the error can be reproduced:

Have a folder with two songs. Then, in the parent folder, create two m3u playlists named "absolute.m3u" and "relative.m3u".
.\
—absolute.m3u
—relative.m3u
—MUSIC\
——song1.ogg
——song2.ogg

In the absolute.m3u playlist, add the following lines:
MUSIC\song1.ogg
MUSIC\song2.ogg

In the relative.m3u playlist, add the following lines:
.\MUSIC\song1.ogg
.\MUSIC\song2.ogg

To see expected behavior:

1.) Open the files list, and run absolute.m3u and song1.ogg begins playing.
2.) Push right to start song2.ogg. Let it play a few seconds in.
3.) Turn off your device by pressing power.
4.) Turn on your device with the power button.
5.) song2.ogg continues to play the same song at the same location as when it was shut off.

To reproduce the bug:

1.) Open the files list, and run relative.m3u and song 1 begins playing.
2.) Push right to start song2.ogg. Let it play a few seconds in.
3.) Turn off your device by pressing power.
4.) Turn on your device with the power button.
5.) song1.ogg plays from the very beginning.

The file format of the songs doesn't seem to matter (I've tested ogg and mp3).

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.

This patch changes the frequency range when selecting "Region: Other" for the FM radio:

With this patch, the "full range" from 76 MHz to 108 MHz, in 0.05 MHz steps, is available when selecting the "Other" region.

if i format the clip+'s microsd card to contain a DOS partition table, then the vfat formatted partition is not recognized.

if i format the sd card with a vfat fs starting at the first block, then the fs is recognized by rockbox.

** if i then reformat the sd card with a partition table like above, then the second fs i created is still recognized by rockbox, even though the first 512 bytes or so have been clobbered. the result is that rb and my laptop see different fs structures, and clobber each other's metadata, causing corrupt file systems.

the work-around is to dd if=/dev/zero the beginning of the sd card and format without partitions.

i kindly request that rb support dos, or some other, partition table, and maybe that rb doesn't mount fs'es which appear to be clobbered by a partition table. one problem with this change is that some people may be using a clobbered fs without knowing. with such a patch, they could end up seeing a corrupt fs instead.

i don't consider this very high priority. thanks for the awesome firmware!

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.

After setting the “Charge During USB Connection” Rockbox setting to “no”, the battery in my iPod Classic still gets charged whenever connecting the iPod to my PC via USB. From the iPod Video manual:

“This option lets you control whether the player should charge during the USB connection and hence draw the full 500 mA. Turning it Off is recommended if the player is connected through an unpowered USB hub or a laptop port.”

I would expect the battery NOT to get charged. Running Rockbox dev build 9576134.

For the last couple of weeks, I can’t get Rockbox to run anymore on my phone. I use Rasher’s build, which used to work fine. I even built one on my own, but it still doesn’t work. I tried running it on the emulator and it worked fine. I am not sure what is wrong, reading the logcat gets me nowhere because I don’t really understand most of it. I have attached the logcat here. I do not know if I’m the only one having this problem.

I tried various method to get it working again on my phone, I even tried resetting my phone in case if I messed up somewhere. I also noticed this when I was trying out another ROM for my phone, which runs on Gingerbread 2.3.7. I thought it was the ROM’s problem, so I changed back to the ROM that I frequently use, which used to had no problems at all running Rockbox. The last working build was on 01 March 2014, after that, nothing works anymore on my phone.

The only possibility that I can think of is that my phone is outdated and the kernel or the ROM is missing something crucial to run the latest Rockbox builds. Other than that, I have no idea. I hope the logcat attached could help you identify this problem. Thank you in advance.

I'm decided to make myself useful today and hammered out most of the rest the code needed to move http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/6048 along.
I'm starting a new entry since the old one is closed.
I'm hosting all the work I do at http://foolsh.no-ip.org/projects/atari2600/wiki/Wiki

2600box Plugin

* Added the .make file
* Added keymaps for most color targets
* Added to viewer.config loads *.bin files
* Fixed screen resizing for smaller screen targets
* Compiles against HEAD/master

I'm still testing sim builds at the moment.

There is some bad news, it crashes in the sims after a minute or two, and the buttons on my fuze+ don't work for some unknown reason but they do in the sim.

Everything else is looking pretty good. I'd like to hear back from people who have real hardware and can test the keymaps.

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.

This bug is sporatic “the worst kind”, has effected a 4gb fuze+ “foolsh in IRC” and an 8gb fuze+ “DmL in IRC“, but also has been confirmed to be absent from one other 4gb fuze+

Rockboy data aborts on menu key press, when the srceen is rotated left and image is stretched across the whole srceen. Also no matter what key is mapped to the menu entry it will still fail.

It never fails when aspect ratio is maintained with scale or when not scaled at all, and never aborts when rotated right or not at all.

Only four files even mention rotate in the apps/plugins/rockboy/ directory “lcd.c menu.c rockmacros.h and sys_rockbox.c”

Sometimes the failure does not happen and reaching the menu is possible, but the rockboy option file may get written and not allow the user back into the menu later to change the rotate option back. When this happens the option file must be edited or erased to make rockboy work again normally.

Hi there,

  this is another WIP plugin that I wrote last year.  It plays videogame streamed music
  using the vgmstream 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
