"Rockbox Media Player" Detected in Windows XP Hardware Wizard, Can't Access Play
ajkessel:
Frequently with the iPod Video I get a Windows popup when I plug it in, trying to find a device driver for "Rockbox Media Player."
If I cancel, I can't access the device. Rebooting the device (either soft or hard) several times makes no difference.
Eventually, for no reason I can pin down, it works again.
I've seen this problem with other players (e.g., http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=13950.0 and http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=13950.0) but not for the iPod.
Any suggestions?
LambdaCalculus:
That's because of the USB stack which is still in progress. Right now, it really just draws the correct voltage from the USB port, but you can't access the filesystem yet.
Just ignore Windows' asking for a driver. There isn't one.
ajkessel:
I am confused by this response. It sounds like you're saying filesystem access doesn't work with rockbox -- but it does. It has worked for months for me, and, until recently, worked 100% of the time. Recently, I've been getting this hardware wizard prompt after which I can't access the filesystem. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it. Just canceling the driver request doesn't fix it. Can you please elaborate?
GodEater:
No. Filesystem access under Rockbox has never worked. All that Rockbox did previously was to reboot into Apple's disk mode. Now with our own USB stack in place and under development - you'll have to put it into Apple's disk mode manually.
ajkessel:
Ah, that clarifies it. Thank you. I am having a bit of trouble booting into Apple firmware now -- it used to be that you just turned it on with the lock on, but now that is rebooting it into what appears to be a "safe mode" -- Rockbox but with none of my theme settings. Is there something else that's changed that I'm missing?
