“Set” was untranslated in one string.

When using a large font, the string LANG_ALARM_MOD_TIME is too large to fit on the screen, thus hiding the actual alarm clock time. A possible fix would be to show the alarm clock time on the next line (see attached patch)

Fix alarmclock plugin. The time calculation is wrong, and the alarm may eventually not ring.
Should fix it (hopefully :))

This patch adds an “alarmclock” plugin, which basically resumes playback at a given time. Think of it as a play timer, as opposed to the sleep timer.

I found it useful, provided that it is no problem for me to leave my player on overnight. Should work on most targets with an RTC (however the code has not been tested but on Gigabeat), and shouldn’t break compilation anyway.

Does the same as  FS#6044 , but that one seemed pretty old (I should maybe search FS before coding patches though).

This is a very simple plugin, that would better be merged into the core, for targets which are not able to automatically wake up. I do not have, however, the required talent (or knowledge of the code) to do this.

PS: While developing this plugin, I noticed that for a few seconds after booting the sim, the clock dosen’t update.

(by the way, the reported version list in the tacker posting interface doesn’t show v3.5)

Fix pegs alignment in Codebuster (score pegs were not correctly aligned with the corresponding guess pegs).

The blackjack plugin swaps two keys on Gigabeat F (that is, A is used for SELECT and SELECT is used for A) This patch brings the plugin in line with the others.

Title Case was used in one string. Fix typo.

This patch makes brickmania fullscreen on all targets.

To ensure that it the game isn’t easier on DAPs with bigger screens, it recalculates the game and pad speed.

Please, do test it :) I’ve tried it on all color targets (in sim), but there may still be a few modifications to do.

Hello world :)

This plug-in adds a new game to rockbox, the mastermind game. It runs on all players with a color LCD, and I tested it on h10_5gb, iaudiox5, ipodnano, e200, ipodvideo (all sim), and gigabeat F (device).

I didn’t find any bugs, but there must be some hiding here and there…

I’ve attached a screenshot.

PS:
I’ve used PLA, although (if I remember well) it tends to be removed from plugins. What should I use then? #define(s) for each target? (the wiki page about plugins still advises to use PLA).

Verified with a fresh checkout of the source. When installing the bootloader (bootloaderinstallfile.cpp), the file is not copied to the target. Eg. w/ Gigabeat : the file FWIMG01.dat is renamed, but no new file is copied. And of course, the device won’t boot.
This is due to line being inverted in bootloaderinstallfile.cpp : the file is closed before being moved.
Attached a patch against 20987 to fix this bug.

Fench language update from rasher’s website

It seems to me that the ‘balance’ setting is correlated to volume setting : the louder the music, the more important the volume difference between the earphones. Plus,, when the sound is of, but the balance is not set to 0, the music keeps playing.

Steps to reproduce :
Set the balance to +100%
Turn the to mute

Also
Set the volume to a quite low value, and move from +100 to -100

I implemented what had been discussed in formu thread http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=18338.0 , ie. 3 new WPS tags : crossfeed state (%fe), balance (%ba), and channel configuration(%ch).
I don’t really have any idea on how to implement a way to acccess options by name in wps, so I used a more straight-forward method.

I recently encountered a quite annoying bug :
→ Go to Database, Artist, All, and play a file. Wait for all the files to be added (this is not needed though, the bug still appears if you stop the creation of the playlist)
→Now try to edit the current playing list by moving songs around.

When selecting the song, another playlist entry appears just before the actually selected one and gets moved instead of the right one. When you validate the move, it disappears and gets replaced by the track you wanted to move.
Furthermore, if you cancel by pressing ‘back’ button, the cursor jumps to the actual position of the track that had appeared. Sometimes, an empty tack is inserted, probably because the part of the playlist it comes from has not been loaded yet. Only verified on Gigabeat, not tested on other targets.

2 minor fixes for string problems in jpeg and xobox plugins.
When jpeg plugin doesn't have enough memory to display the picture, it diplays 'Off: Quit'. However, on Gigabeat F players, 'Off' is actually the 'menu' key.
In xobox, when the player has only one life left, "1 Lives" is displayed instead of "1 Life"

This patch adds colour to the digital display of vu_meter plugin on colour LCDs. Tested on Gigabeat F and Archos Sim.

Add required spaces before ? and !, fix a capitalization error. Also fix a confusion between bytes, bits, and octets. Unless I’m wrong, rockbox bytes are ‘octets’ of eight ‘bits’ each. Plus, bitrates are calculated in bits, not bytes. Also removed one extra space in voice string as others did not use spaces.
CFP.

Updated to fix a few spelling mistakes (eg equalizer was spelled équaliseur rather than égaliseur) and other little problems. There’s still a problem with LANG_ALL, which can be either feminine or masculine in French.

This is a gallery plug-in for all rockbox players with color LCDs. It displays a set of x*y pictures, through which the user browses.
Photogallery plug-in uses bitmap files, for both thumbnails and full screen views. Thus, you’ll need to first generate a gallery, i.e. resize all your pictures to your DAP screen size, and then generate thumbnails for all those pictures, which will be placed in a ‘.thumbnails’ directory, which itself should be created for each folder containing images that you intend to view in the gallery. Creating a list of pictures to display in the gallery is also necessary, although photogallery can do this for you (still buggy in some cases though).
I have coded a soft to do all this automatically. Therefore, the user’s part of the job is just to specify where to take the pictures from, and where to save them. The soft will also generate the list of all pictures to display in the gallery, labeled pictures_list.pic (more details on my website), as well as the config file.
Then, when the plug-in loads, it will read from photogallery.config file where to get thumbnails and will then load thumbnails listed in pictures_list.pic, and finally display the gallery.

I’ve attached the diff file for this plug-in, and screenshots as well as additional information are avaliable on my website (http://cfpcreators.free.fr/?ref=software&id=photogallery). Although the process of generating a gallery sounds quite complicated, it is rather simple. Everything is automated if you use this program: http://cfpcreators.free.fr/?ref=software&id=rbtools, although it only works for windows users.

Feel free to comment on this plug-in.

I coded a fix for  FS#9025 . It basically consists in reverting the firmware to functional revision r1758, although I left new key codes in order to activate button light.

Hello,
r17549 and 17559 change gigabeat’s handling of button inputs. Installing this new versions causes my gigabeat to turn unusable. I hard-reseted it, tried again, but encountered the same problem. Sometimes pressing a key has an actual effect, but sometimes it considers the key is still being pressed though it’s been released, and sometimes it just does not react at all. Furthermore, reverting the firmware to previous versions fixed the problem. Is anybody experiencing the same problem ? Shouldn’t these changes just be reverted ? Or am I doing something wrong ?

I’m pretty sure that, when indexing cover.bmp files, CoverFlow does not automatically pick up the biggest avaliable cover file. Wouldn’t it be better to pick the cover.x.x.bmp file with maximum x for each album, so that the covers displayed in the plugin are larger ?
(I dont know whether this should be moved to another task)Could we add a possibility to select an album, exit the plugin and directly start playing the album which was selected ?

While updating the database, the ‘database info’ debug menu shows a progress value that is stuck to -1%, and not updated, while scanning the drive for files. If it is not possible to know the actual progress of the scan, would’nt it be better to just remove this piece of info ?
CFP

When using button A to switch from bouncing text towaving message, text color is set to black. hen switching back to bouncing text using A, text color remains black instead of turning back white. Shouldn't it remain white all the time, at least for the clock ?
Furthermore, shouldn't default settings be set to a quicker bouncing speed ?

On Gigabeat F60, when updated, rockbox writes : “press select to reboot”. However, when select key is pressed, rockbox does not reboot but goes back to the main screen. Any idea ?

CFP.

*Tested on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn And Windows XP*
*This problem occurs on Gigabeat F with latest build ; I haven’t tested it on any other DAP*

When I connect both my Gigabeat F60 and then another USB device, the second is not be properly usable. For example the system is does not list the device’s files properly, and explorer (or nautilus in Ubuntu) freezes. Still, as soon as I unplug my DAP, everything goes back to normality.

In WPS, Play/Pause (A) and back (Select) buttons have been switched. As rockbox is a replacement firmware, shouldn’t it try to follow Toshiba’s original keymap by setting ‘play’ function to ‘select’ button and ‘back’ to ‘A’ button ? It would be closer to common keymaps such as those seen in computer media players, and would make A button function more consistent : it would become indeed a switch between WPS and root menu screens.

Another thing is that we have redundant buttons, at least on gigabeat : in WPS, top/down buttons have the same dunctions than vol+/vol-. Wouldn’t it be possible to, say, use bottom touch to direclty go back to the previous song, rather than double-pressing left ?

CFP.

Hello !
Would it be possible to implement an auto clock update on usb pluging-in ? So that the clock would be set each time the player gets connected to a computer ?
I guess this would be a useful function as soon as I sometimes have to turn the battery off then on, reseting the player’s clock. Plus, when time hasn’t been set, files created by rockbox have incosistent creation date/time.
CFP.

Sometimes the battery life shown in system menu is just wrong, for ewample now my gigabeats F60 shows : 77%, 35791365h48mn. Most of the time, however, the estimation is reasonnable.

I was updating my database yesterday evening, while listening to music. The plaback started jumping tracks, and I supposed it was beacause my Gigabeat's disk was being used. However, few seconds after, rockbox started displaying messages saying "codec for "xxx" cannot be found". I went to the debug screen to see how far the database refresh process was. It showed -1%, although the number of files scanned actually increased. Then the system crased and showed :
– *Panic*
Dir entry 9 in sec
tor 0 is not free
54 41 42 41
– I finally managed to restart the player, but a "firmware not found" screen showed up. I did a chkdsk can on the drive which showed errors, fixed them, installed rockbox back and everything is working properly now.

To avoid such a problem, why would'nt not to just update the database in normal mode rather than in background mode, and forbid access to the player until database refresh is complete ?

revision 16198, Sat Feb 2 05:41:27 2008 UTC of french translation translates “Keyclics” by “Cliquetis des touches”. A valid translation would rather be “Bip touches”.

Hello !
I spend a lot of time rebuilding my gigabeat id3 database everytime I add music on my player. Would’nt it be great to just port the database building code to Windows/Linux in order to build rockbox database from your computer ?
Thank you !
