iPod 80gb use via dock - rebooting instead of shutting down when paused

(1/2) > >>

ItsMyLife:

I use my Rockbox'd 80gb iPod at work quite a bit.  It sits in a universal dock connected to a headphone amp used to driver more power headphones than I use when commuting.

Anyhow... when playing music it works fine... however often I'll pause the player for one reason or another...

With the Rockbox firmware if it sits for a period... instead of shutting down like the iPod did it will do a full reboot... if I continue to let it sit it will do another reboot after more time passes.  This will continually keep happening.  

I think it's trying to shut down, but for some reason (because it's attached to the dock I imagine) it restarts itself up.

Not sure where *issues* are documented so I figured I'd post a message here.

Llorean:
See the word "Bugs" at the left? But this isn't a bug.

The Apple firmware actually keeps running, but shuts off the screen, when plugged in. Because the iPod can't turn off while power is connected, it's just a "feature" of the hardware.

ItsMyLife:

Hmmm... ok... would there be a way to prevent it from auto-shutting down when power is connected then?

Llorean:
Fix the problem where Rockbox doesn't actually recognize that it's charging, or simply turn off idle poweroff.

ItsMyLife:
Both would be good... I don't ask for much huh?   ;D

Idle poweroff is essential when you're not on charge so it would need to know that it's charging to know whether to turn off idle poweroff.
