Sans Clip V2

24bit 96000 Hz 6 Channel (5.1) FLAC files skip to next song after 30 seconds. 30 seconds is an estimate because my screen is broken, so I can’t see what’s happening. I downloaded a daily build 3 days ago, but I think it’s a buffering issue. Flac is 8181 kbps (says Foobar).

It’s the first time I tried these files, so I don’t know if they ever worked, or ever will.
If they never will work, I’m sorry for reporting this.

Thank you all for your time and efforts.

This was reported in the past as part of another bug (FS #6707), and although the other one hasn’t happened anymore, this one still does.

Happens only from time to time. Scenario:

- player is playing song (in WPS), backlight off
- press stop
- only backlight goes on, playback continues

I attach this to H300 series but this may not be player specific

9053PatchesOperating System/DriversVery LowUsing Volume Labels as Mount Points2008-05-30Reinhard Enders62010-06-066 Task Description

I’m using several SD-cards with my Sansa. When switching cards
and updating the database the db entries of other cards are lost
(unless saved to the database log).

In order to differentiate between files from different cards the
easiest way is to give them different path names. So instead of
mounting each card to <microSD1> this patch takes the volume label
i.e. ‘Classic1’ of the filesystem and mounts it to <Classic1>.

The database update is modified in a way that it erases only entries
for files with a filename of a mounted filesystem. So data of other
cards isn’t erased.

So far the database search isn’t modified to handle nonexisting files,
you still get albums etc. which are currently unavailable.
The patch only makes sure that nonexisting files aren’t entered into
the current playlist.

The patch is only activated for Sansa e200, as I couldn’t test it for
other players.

9621PatchesOperating System/DriversVery LowFAT read-ahead when filling buffer2008-12-10Boris Gjenero62010-03-263 Task Description

I noticed that when filling the buffer my Video iPod (32MB RAM) does noticeable seeks at semi-regular intervals even if reading from a single non-fragmented file. It seems this is due to having to read the next FAT sector. In firmware/drivers/fat.c there is a FAT cache but no read-ahead of the FAT.

I created fat_preload( struct fat_file *file, long sectorcount ) in firmware/drivers/fat.c to preload the FAT cache. In firmware/common/file.c I created file_preloadfat(int fd, size_t count) because calling a fat_ function directly would be too much of a kludge. I use file_preloadfat in apps/buffering.c just before filling the buffer.

This got rid of that regular seeking and it seems to it can remove about two seconds from the time needed to fill the buffer when reading a single non-fragmented file. Currently the code is quite simple and unintelligent. Fragmentation or other activity can overwrite the pre-loaded FAT sectors in the cache, and in such cases the pre-load leads to needless extra reads. More work is probably needed before this can be included in Rockbox.

Currently this patch is for SW-codec only. I think file_preloadfat could be called from HW-codec buffering code also, though few seeks would be prevented with 2MB of RAM. This patch is also probably useless with flash storage.

12125PatchesOperating System/DriversVery LowUse persistent dircache without HAVE_EEPROM_SETTINGS2011-05-22Rosso Maltese62011-07-063 Task Description

The patch allows to use the persistent dircache even in targets that do not define HAVE_EEPROM_SETTINGS.

Starting trying to implement such a feature for my iPod Video, I "discovered" the functions dircache_load/save (I have a slight knowledge of the RB software). Investigating why it was not used on my target, I saw that it's conditioned to the define HAVE_EEPROM_SETTINGS without an apparently reason to limit them just to some targets.
So, I simply "detach" the functions definition and use from the define.
I'm using it since an hour, starting up and shutting down the DAP various times, jumping back and forth inside the dynamic play list, and I got no problems at all.

If I guess correctly the code, the dircache should be updated also when changing the DAP content, if the USB connection is done by RB and not the OF.

It's applied to r29907.

12468BugsOperating System/DriversVery LowHotswap fails to recognize the card after it was remove...2011-12-19Andrej62011-12-22 Task Description

If Rockbox is connected via USB with no sd card inserted and it is inserted, it offers the OS to mount the new drive.
If the sd card is removed and reinsterted again, it fails to offer and recognize it.

I could locate the problem in firmware/usbstack/usb_storage.c in the line

if(inserted && check_disk_present(IF_MD(volume))) {

after reinserting the card, check_disk_present fails to return true, so this check fails and the card isn't recognized anymore.

11388PatchesPlaylistsVery LowBookmark file doesn't work for a directory with a semic...2010-06-09Aaron Wells62010-07-091 Task Description

Steps to reproduce:

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

BOOKS/;file
0:02, 2, Shuffle

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

12558BugsSettingsVery LowSome core_alloc users do not handle failures2012-01-22Lorenz62012-01-301 Task Description

If loading a config file that holds all configuration settings (Settings → Manage Settings - Save .cfg File) from Rockbox 3.9.1 in Rockbox 3.10 or the daily builds for Archos Recorder with Firmware V3, the player will not bootup correctly on the next restart and show:

I 4: IllInstr

directly at booting. I then press "On" again and get:

*PANIC*
Stkov main

and the HD shuts down. If I press "On" again, the same loop continues.

The problem can only be resolved by plugging the player to USB, removing the rockbox directory and copying it again from the newest daily build or 3.10, then restart. It boots up fine again then. Doing the previous settings manually on 3.10 or the daily builds and then saving / loading them works fine and the player won´t have the boot-bug anymore.

I have attached the config file that creates the problem.

9252PatchesSimulatorVery LowCommon keyboard actions for Simulator2008-08-08Tomer Shalev62009-12-153 Task Description

Note: This is work in progress.
Status: Code implemented

      Manual not updated
      Wiki not updated (only after commit)

The idea of this patch is to have the same keyboard keys assign to the same actions in all platforms.

For example, have +/- keys (both on keyboard and on Numpad) are assigned to Volume Up and Volume Down keys of the original platform.
For platforms which do not have these keys, pressing the +/- keys in the simulator will do nothing.

This change will help developers to do manual regression testing on lots of platforms easily, as they do not have to memorize each platform’s key assignment.

Future development: Display key assignment on screen, and/or on console

10575PatchesSimulatorVery LowSimulator remote-control2009-08-30Jonas Häggqvist62010-10-185 Task Description

This patch enables you to control the simulator using a named pipe to provide simulated keypresses, rather than the keyboard.

Unfortunately there is a bug that means that not all events seem to have any effect. On the e200 sim, I can use the scroll buttons to move in the main menu, but neither RIGHT nor SELECT lets me enter any of the entries. I suspect it's related to repeat or hold/release handling, but I'm not sure how to fake that properly.

10039BugsThemesVery Lowfast changing time indicators when pausing with fading ...2009-03-21Johannes Linke62011-07-27 Task Description

to reproduce:

1. set playback settings–>fade on stop/pause to on.
2. play some music.
3. press the pause button to stop the music, and again to restart it. repeat that a few times, because this bug does not always occur.

you will notice that both “time-displays” sometimes change very to the previous second and then back to the normal one, e.g 3:32, then very short 3:31, and back to 3:32. the progressbar sometimes get smaller for a fraction of a second, too.

maybe i’ll search for the revision which introduced this in the next few days

Every time I try to set my theme to ThinBasic in Rockbox 3.11.2 on my nano 1g, a panic occurs.
I only tried this in 3.11.2 so I'm not sure if older versions have this problem too.

12759BugsThemesVery LowVarious RDS issues (Clip Zip, YP-R0)2012-09-30Ludovic Jacques62015-02-251 Task Description

I noticed various RDS-related issues on my Clip Zip and Samsung R0

1) Sansa Clip Zip
With the latest builds (for example version 341e2c4-120929) I noticed the RDS text just behaves crazy, like blinking for no reason and displaying strange characters. Besides, the RDS name won't display most of time or at least needs much time to display.
When reverting back to an older build (0c4bd3a-120406 for example), the RDS name displays quickly and for all stations now and the RDS text is just displaying and scrolling normally.
Tested and noticed with my theme lebellium Samsung -like: http://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?themeid=1681 and with the various DFKT Minimum Zip themes (this one for example: http://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?themeid=1539 )
screenshots of the issue: http://imageshack.us/a/img855/8724/dump120926124155.png http://imageshack.us/a/img837/2154/dump120926124439.png

2) Samsung YP-R0
In addition to the RDS issues reported for the Zip above that also exist on the R0, it seems that the RDS text makes the device crash after a few seconds or minutes with my theme lebellium Samsung-like (version 1.60 beta to download in attachment).
I found 2 unsatisfying ways to bypass this annoying crash:
-Remove the %s scrolling tag for the RDS text, that is to say replace "%s%ac%tz" by "%ac%tz". But that's not a good solution since then the RDS text is cut off. The %tz tag only makes sense when associated with a %s tag and all other themes supporting RDS use it and work well that way.
-Replace the RDS text font (currently 20-DroidSans-Bold.fnt) by another font from the Rockbox Font Pack. As I want a nice anti-aliased font, the only acceptable alternative I found is the Ubuntu Bold font. But this font makes the device crash too…

So I just hope there is a bug somewhere that can be fixed?

9381PatchesUser InterfaceVery LowGigabeat S Play/Pause/Menu Keymap Change2008-09-08Marc Guay62008-10-111 Task Description

This patch modifies the Gigabeat S keymap so that it can be used almost solely using the buttons on the face of the player.

Currently, there is an unused button in the WPS screen (the BACK button, up-left from the cross) which in my mind makes more sense as the “back to the menu” button, while the MENU button (up-right from the cross) is the logical Play/Pause button (at least to a right-handed individual). It’s unfortunate that the button with the Windows logo has been called the MENU button in the code, thus making this rather confusing to read, but if enough people agree with the feel of this change, that could be modified as well.

Where possible (i.e. the buttons aren’t needed for somethinig else), the PLAY button should go straight to the WPS (resuming as required) or radio.

These are almost the case, but on the H300 there are the following exceptions:

- Rockbox Info (PLAY performs the disk free space scan, same as SELECT)
- Playlist Viewer when selected from the Main > Playlists menu (PLAY returns to the menu above, same as LEFT)
- Sleep Timer (PLAY does nothing)
- Debug Manu (PLAY enters the selected item, same as SELECT)
- Browse x in Settings, where x = Themes, Fonts or .cfg/.wps/.rwps Files (PLAY returns to the menu above, same as LEFT). (Note that the plugin browser works fine!)

Similarly, the STOP button should stop playback, which is largely ok, except:

- In the Playlist Viewer (STOP does nothing)

I don’t have any other targets handy, but feel free to add any other suspect screens here.

i asked some time ago why there is the buttontable in general settings –>bookmark. i wondered because the buttons are the same as in other lists. Marc Guay said "the delete button is unique", an i wondered why there is a dedicated delete button… in no other lists exists such a button afaik.

i changed the manual accordingly.
i also corrected some wrong (?) comments.
i hope i did everything right, at least for the e200 it compiles and works fine.

i would like to get some opinions about it.

In the "Scroll bar width" screen, the value used to show the width selected is the previous one, not the current one. The first value change has no effect.
Anyway it seems that the right value is stored: if you select a value and exit by the screen, when you re-enter in it, the width is correct.

Priority low.

When the dc jack is plugged in to charge while the player is not running (switched off), the display says ‘ATA Error -11’. It can’t be reset except by removing the batteries and dc jack. I ran an older build from last year and it works fine.

When the battery is nearly empty and the iriver H10 is about to shutdown, the volume sometimes suddenly increases progressively, as if the volume UP button was pressed and held down, all the way up to the maximum.

This has happened to me about 3-4 times so far. Pressing the volume DOWN button somewhat counters this bug, but only for as long as the DOWN button is used - the volume keeps increasing.

This occurs with Rockbox Release 3.5 (not 3.4 as the Report Version field of the ticket says).

9112PatchesBuild environmentVery LowAutomatically set correct cross compiler path based on ...2008-06-23William Poetra Yoga Hadisoeseno52009-05-103 Task Description

This is an attempt to automate the setting of $PATH in tools/rockboxdev.sh, tools/configure and the generated Makefile.

The directory prefix of the cross compilers is stored in ~/.config/rockbox.org/RockboxCompilerPrefix. As the default path (in tools/rockboxdev.sh) is /usr/local, if that file is empty, then $PATH won’t be modified. Otherwise, the value stored inside that file will be read, the target platform type appended, and lastly /bin appended. The resulting string will be appended to $PATH.

This patch doesn’t break existing configuration. But it’s most probably incomplete, so please provide feedback on which files need to be modified as well.

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)

13159BugsCodecsVery Lowrockbox hangs on certain m4a files2018-07-03Solomon Peachy52020-06-25 Task Description

I primarily use my unit for audio books while driving, but the latest build (as I write this) won't play one of the files properly. It tries to start, stuck at 0:00. Trying to seek hangs the player altogether, requiring a hard restart.

I've recreated this problem on a flaky Clip+ and an AGPTek Rocker.

The 'file' tool identifies it as: ISO Media, MP4 v2 [ISO 14496-14]

Here's what mplayer has to say (while playing it back properly):

Using r30284

Initialization of the database, from scratch, on the Fuze v2, using a fresh SVN build, fails when committing.

It scans all files, gets to committing 4/9, then hangs at “building database, N files found”.

If I reboot, it tries to commit on reboot, stops at 4/9, then boots into rockbox with no database (ie it asks me to initialize if I try to view it).

Attached are my database* files.

This is a bug in post-3.9 code, as I don’t have the problem with a 3.9 release.

Hi all.

I have found a funny thing, which should get fixed. In set_prescaled_volume there is this call:

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?

12727BugsGamesVery Lowcalc_strength is Buggy in Plugin Superdom2012-08-12Uwe Schächterle52012-08-12 Task Description

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

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

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

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

}

The Bug should be fixed by using this lines instead :

                  score += 30;
              if(board[x + a][y + b].farm)
                  score += 30;

This patch removes any total tracks and total discs number from the track and disc number fields in ID3v2 tags, so that track and disc numbers are displayed consistently across different tagging formats.

10966BugsLCDVery Lowc200 v1 LCD doesn't turn on when changing Backlight set...2010-02-04Daniel Empie52011-04-04 Task Description

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

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

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

8029BugsMusic playbackVery LowSelecting a buffered track in the current playlist forc...2007-10-26Steve Bavin52009-07-02 Task Description

Recipe:
1) Play an album. Wait until buffering completes.
2) Skip from track 1 to track 2. No buffering occurs.
3) Skip from track 2 to track 1. No buffering occurs.
4) In the playlist viewer, select track 2. Rebuffering occurs, even though the track is buffered.

The same problem occurs in the opposite direction (e.g. after step 2, it should be possible to switch to track 1 using the playlist viewer without rebuffering).

11355BugsMusic playbackVery LowAuto-Change Directory crashes hardwarecodec players2010-06-05Marianne Arnold52012-01-141 Task Description

When the option “Auto-change directory” is enabled, my Ondio crashes at the end of the current folder’s playlist when it would have to create a new one.

The error it shows is “I09: CPUAdrEr at 09010FF8”. The address varies a bit with the actual revision, this example is with r26246 and an OndioFM backlight build (but the problem is present in plain SVN builds too). Looking at the map file shows that the crash happens in the cue_find_current_track function.

Bisecting build turned up that the error was introduced with the cuesheet rework in r21978/9 and the fix in 21982 fixed usual folder playback but not auto-change directory. It is reproducible on the Archos Recorder so I assume a general hwcodec problem.

12369BugsMusic playbackVery LowUnneeded mass storage accesses with dircache off2011-11-06Andree Buschmann52011-12-25 Task Description

With r30907 (and also back to at least r30809 which I tested as well) I experience unneeded mass storage accesses on my iPod nano2G. I do not see this effect on my iPod Video.

Use case:
- Create a playlist from either DB or file browser
- Let buffering finish
- Skip forward track by track
(I use mpc/mp3/aac with embedded album art.)

Effect seen: For some skips I see short flash accesses (much shorter than full rebuffering).

This only happens if dircache is off. With activated dircache this effect is gone.

As such mass storage accesses are severely impacting the battery runtime on HDD targets I hope we get this figured out before v3.10.

12653BugsMusic playbackVery LowRockbox randomly crashes during playback2012-04-24Bruno Gil52013-09-02 Task Description

So, I have a Clip Zip at the moment. Been using rockbox on it since day 1, and since day one i've always had an issue: during playback, when accessing files from the SD card, the player randomly freezes. It's not always, it's not when accessing the same files or some specific characteristic shared by them, it just appears to be random. When it freezes, the LCD usually still responds to my commands (i can access menus, see the file info, even change song and it will display in the playback screen), but the actual playback doesn't, and I eventually have to hard reset it. I guess it's some kind of SD compatibility issues: I have an 8GB class 4 PNY. I know it's not the own card's problem since it worked perfectly on my Clip+ and does on my Android Cellphone.
I've been updating daily builds for this device at least once a week since I got it, and it happens with every build.

8305PatchesOperating System/DriversVery Lowc200: support docking stations with audio2007-12-12Jerry52008-06-163 Task Description

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

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

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

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

8454PatchesOperating System/DriversVery LowImplement debug() for ARM architectures via JTAG DCC2008-01-13Catalin Patulea52010-10-154 Task Description

The ARM hardware debugger via JTAG spec (EmbeddedICE) specifies a sideband channel for target↔debugger communication called DCC (Debug Communications Channel). openocd, an open-source debugger compatible with the EmbeddedICE standard, supports using this channel for textual debug messages from the target.

The attached patch implements the target side of this channel. Messages can be enabled in openocd using the “target_request debugmsgs enable” command.

WARNING: If -DDEBUG is enabled and there is no hardware debugger attached to drain the DCC buffer, debug() becomes very slow because it has to wait for the writes to time out. However, this is unlikely to happen because -DDEBUG isn’t typically enabled for target builds.

11883PatchesOperating System/DriversVery LowClose all files and safely unmount disks before enterin...2011-01-16sideral52011-04-085 Task Description

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

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

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

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

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

9456PatchesPlaylistsVery LowRemove Repeat:Shuffle option and always reshuffle when ...2008-10-05William Poetra Yoga Hadisoeseno52009-05-175 Task Description

This patch removes the Repeat:Shuffle setting, and always reshuffles the playlist when Shuffle is set to yes and Repeat is set to All.

The rationale behind this is that a user would rarely want to shuffle the playlist the first time only and always repeat the same sequence afterwards. Rather, one would either play the playlist in order and repeat in the same order, or shuffle the playlist first and always reshuffle.

Setting combinations affected:
- Shuffle:Yes && Repeat:All

before: shuffle the playlist but repeats the same sequence
after: shuffle the playlist and reshuffles when the end is reached

- Shuffle:Yes && Repeat:Shuffle

before: shuffle the playlist and reshuffles when the end is reached
after: this combination is replaced by Shuffle:Yes && Repeat:All

- Shuffle:No && Repeat:Shuffle

before: reshuffle when the end is reached
after: rarely used combination, not available anymore

All other combinations are not affected.

The patch contains some comment fixes and some code simplification as well. We also have to handle a special case in the patch.

7203PatchesPluginsVery LowNew game for Color-LCD-Rockboxes2007-05-22Andreas Kruschinski52007-06-281 Task Description

This is the game Squarebloxx. It works on Color-LCDs only because colors are an essential part of the game. I tested it in the Simulator for all the color Boxes. I also tested it on my H340.
In the game you have to mark parts of an array of tiles. If the tiles in the corners of the mark are the same color, the marked area is done. If all tiles are done the level is finished.
Please give me feedback and report bugs.

Thanks Krush

10581PatchesPluginsVery LowSeparate backlight setting for viewer2009-09-03Crend King52009-09-041 Task Description

Hello! I made this patch to add a separate backlight setting for the viewer plugin. By default the viewer plugin use Rockbox global backlight setting. For battery life, the backlight length would be usually too short in viewer, since reading a page may take more than 10 seconds. Bring the backlight on again by pressing buttons or wheel could be painful since it may cause unwanted effects (e.g. scroll to top/bottom of the text).

I added two options: Use global setting (default) and Always on. When setting to "Use global setting", everything should remain the same as before. When setting to "Always on", the backlight should never dim off. Changing the option during reading will immediately applies effect. I use the helper functions "backlight_use_settings" and "backlight_force_on" to achieve this.

Warning: since I changed the preference struct, after installing the new viewer.rock, all previous viewer setting will be abandoned and revert to default settings. You can backup your old viewer.dat (36 bytes), wait the new viewer.dat (40 bytes) be generated, and overwrite the first 36 bytes from the old viewer.dat to restore the setting. I don't know if there is a painless way for the transition. Suggestions are welcomed.

Thank you!
