Trying Rockbox

<< < (2/3) > >>

safetydan:
It sounds like there may be some issues with the tags in your ogg files. Try checking them with ogginfo and see if that shows the tags correctly. If you don't have or can't use ogginfo, try loading them up in another media player that supports oggs and see if the information is shown correctly.

Rockbox does fully support reading tags/metadata from ogg streams so there should be no issues. There are problems though if you've used bad software (grip is one example) that sticks and ID3v1 or ID3v2 tag on an Ogg file. That doesn't work.

Vortex:
This is what ogginfo says:

--- Code: ---$ ogginfo 07.Lordi-Chainsaw_Buffet.ogg

The tags of the file are displayed fine in other players, but Rockbox doesn't recognize them somehow. ::)

safetydan:
Try checking to see if there's an ID3 tag or something in the file. Quickest way is to open the file in a text editor and see if the file starts with the bytes ID3.

Vortex:
Nope, the file starts with "OggS" followed by garbage and then the tags in plain text.

It looks like this:

--- Code: ---OggS         ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½]    ï¿½yds

vorbis  
 D�      ï¿½ï¿½
    �
OggS          ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½]

nls:
The tag reading problem is known for 64bit sims, and has been reported here http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6690
It works fine on the player though.

Edit: the tag reading should now work ok on your 64 bit sim with the latest svn.
