Feature Ideas / Re: Multiple Genre Tag Support

« Last post by Matmat on July 16, 2018, 10:54:35 PM »

Trying to revive this.

Having Genres as tags was a big motivation for me for switching to RockBox, for the reasons aforementioned. I'm quite disappointed!

Is it technically too problematic to implement?

Also, this is mysterious: https://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5035     Björn Stenberg (the founder, right?) closed this topic as "fixed" but it is not! Many people want this!

In any case, thanks to all the developers for making a great OS, despite this!

Is there any way to take iOS off my iPod and only have Rockbox running? I am new to Rockbox and the forums, so I apologise if all my posts so far have been newb.

Unifont covers most of the common Unicode symbols, but it is possible to use any other font if you like. The wiki has more information on fonts and theming.

Rockbox General Discussion / Custom Font?

« Last post by SuperHands111 on July 15, 2018, 06:08:59 PM »

Apologies if this is in the wrong thread, I'm not sure where to ask this but...

There are bands/songs/albums with custom symbols such as ☥, ◑෴◑ and ☮☮☮. Rockbox can't read them so it puts a box where the symbol should be.
My question is there any way to put a custom font into Rockbox that will read these symbols? If not, is there anything I can do for Rockbox to show the correct symbol?

New Ports / Re: AGPTEK Rocker

Sorry for posting this, possibly a bit off topic. Forgive me! But I'm really hoping bluetooth will get enabled for this soon - I'm waiting eagerly. I have a new car that doesn't have an aux jack, but this player works with it quite well. And having rockbox on it would really make it complete - I've had rockbox on all my various DAPs since about 2003. So, any support I can give - just let me know. I'm not a coder, but I'm an excellent tester, and will happily buy pizzas and beer if that'll help. Thanks!

There is libasound_module_pcm_bluetooth.so and libasound_module_ctl_bluetooth.so on the system. I have no experience on alsa but this is pretty generic linux stuff e.g. https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync/issues/200 .  I think wodz figured out how to make aplay work with this module. I think once one gets aplay to work with it you could modify rockbox to read alsa output device from file and then use a script to modify this file with bluetooth device mac. Ugly but I think it would be sufficient absent better ideas.


Here is a quick way to change alsa device. It looks for /etc/asound_device_override which could be created with a simple echo "alsa_devide" > /etc/asound_device_override from script . I have not even tried to compile this code.

Some bored googling led me to this:

Plugins/Viewers / Bus Error while starting PluginDoom on NWZ-E464

« Last post by 50_Cent on July 14, 2018, 07:22:30 AM »

The device I am using is Sony NWZ-E464 with the RockBox version 19b2964-180704. When I start PluginDoom the white screen pops up and throws an exception:

Bus error at 40b69100
address 0x00000000

The radio or music will not stop playing but if I press some random keys, device will restart.
It does not matter if I have the .WAD files in the folder or do not. Any ideas on how can I run it?
P.S. I recently found out that both XWorld and md5sum plugins can not be executed also. But instead of throwing a fatal error the screen just shows my wallpaper and nothing happens (device just freezes and I can not do anything with it with an exception of doing a reset). It would be nice if I could run those 2 as well.
Big thanks for your kind attention to my problem!

Repairing and Upgrading Rockbox Capable Players / IRiver H320/40 storage limit?

« Last post by stu1872 on July 14, 2018, 05:07:36 AM »

I have both an IRiver H320 and an H340 which i have been using for what seems like an eternity and they are still going strong.

Last year i bought an iFlash Quad card with IPod adapter to use in one of them along with 3 genuine Samsung 64gb microsd cards. Yesterday i was putting new MP3's onto it and they will show fine on Windows but when i try to access them on the players the artist name is there but there are no files visible when i click on the artist. I have updated the database and they don't show in their either.

I think i may have went over 120gb when i updated it recently so i am not sure if this player is limited to size or the number of files it can access.

I also thought i may have a corrupted card but as all 3 get joined together when i format them as one i have ruled that out as when i transferred my collection over it is only the last say 10-15gb of files that are not showing on the player.

Does anyone have any ideas before i have to format and spend another 5hrs formatting the card and reloading  all of my files back on?
