Rockbox General > Rockbox General Discussion

Do we have the file format for the database files?

<< < (2/3) > >>

sadffffff:
I'll look into it. I didnt poke around in the header file too much, it actually looks like it might be helpful.

So is that a "no, there isn't any direct documentation on the file type"?

I was looking to avoid some work is all. Don't really need to know how the entire database system works, just need the file info.

(incidently, is this the right place to post a question like this?)

Llorean:
The compiling forum would've also been acceptable, I suppose, but in this case either works, and we always prefer you go to "General Discussion" if you're not sure, rather than guessing. :)

No, I don't think there's any documentation of the internal structure beyond that in the source (at least that I know of).

sadffffff:
Well, allright then, in that case I guess i'll dive right into it.

Thanks much for the info.

safetydan:
The database code can be compiled separately from Rockbox. Or at least it's supposed to be able to. If you're writing your program in C, this should make it easier for you to get started.

Misspell:
sadffffff, you might find this usefull if you havnt already (source bottom right).

Releated question (i think); if a person builds the dbase file(s) on there PC from/based on the mp3s on there iPod and then move or save the dbase file(s) to there iPod, will RockBox reconize that dbase when the iPod is started?

In short, thinking of compiling the dbase with a PC to save "Updating" and "Initialize" with the iPod.
