Nano 2nd gen supported

[thunderstruck540]

hey on the new news i guess on the main page of rockbox, it says ipod nano 1st and 2nd gen supported, does that mean i can put rockbox on my 2nd gen nano now???

[Febs]

No, it doesn't say that.  It says that the iPod 2nd generation is supported, not the 2nd generation Nano.  And it also says this:

Rockbox is an open source firmware for mp3 players, written from scratch. It runs on a wide range of players:

    * Apple: 1st through 5.5th generation iPod, iPod Mini and 1st generation iPod Nano
      (not the Shuffle, 2nd/3rd gen Nano, Classic or Touch)

blast your right, i thought it had nano in there that sucks! are they ever going to get the 2nd gen nano on anytime soon, if not im just going to get me a 3rd gen nanos, they have video.

It'll happen when someone with the hardware and know-how gets the port really going.  As it is, don't hold your breath; it's probably not gonna be soon.

And for definitions of "soon"... well...

The Nano 2G has been out since, what, last September? And no-one has done any work on it at all yet.

But, of course, a Rockboxed 1st gen nano has video...

Pretty good too by all accounts

i second that! .. all it needed now is a fast foward/rewind function!

I suggest updating your version then!

Sorry for going a bit off-topic here but I thought this statement cannot be left uncommented.

I think he was referring to FF/REW in Mpegplayer.  

[pixelma]

Yes, that's what I understood and meant too...

Just have a look at the "Set start time" option in the current mpegplayer start menu. And it's part of SVN for 1 or 2 weeks now, if I remember correctly. It's not that handy at the moment in my eyes but it's still some sort of seeking. The wiki was also updated today (but after my post).

[GodEater]

This is veering wildly offtopic now kids!

[Chronon]

pixelma, that does give some ability to navigate around a file but would probably not be considered seeking by most users.  

GodEater, I agree this is now wildly off-topic.  Febs resolved the OP's question in the first reply, so this thread serves no further purpose, I think.  If further discussion regarding the Mpegplayer plugin is desired someone may start a new topic for that.

Lock.
