Slight annoying problems with RockBox
Techno22:
Just got a e260 and heard about the awesome benefits of rockbox, got it working now but theres a few problems.
1. When a song is playing. I go back to the menu, go to music, pick another song to play but it won't play the newly selected song. Whats the deal? I think it's stuck on some bookmark or something. Is there a way to make make my Rockbox not make a bookmark each time I shut off the player?
2. The time and battery meter to the top is cut off by the screen. Similar to on a PC when you drag a window too far down and the bottom starts to "go off the edge". Yeah.. how do I fix it so that the entire rockbox display fits snug on my players screen?
3. One thing I really liked about the old firmware was how, when I selected music, I could quickly get to my destination by either artist name, song name, or album name. Can I do that on Rockbox?
4. Will just any old mpeg (1 or 2) file play on Rockbox without any conversion?
5. Rockbox can boot up the old sansa firmware by holding

Sounds like you're using a broken theme (which places graphics to wrong positions) or your screen is somewhat moved inside its housing.

Use the database.

Are you referring to video or audio files? Rockbox plays mpeg2 video (and therefore also mpeg1) but it most likely won't be much fun if the videos don't match the display of your player. In that sense you most likely need to convert anyway.

Thanks for the reply bluebrother. I have a few more questions When running the original firmware but with Rockbox installed, will it still suck up more battery life?
And broken theme? My screen is fine and the themes I used were the ones that came with the Rockbox installer. Which theme or fix do you recommend?

The battery life issue has been resolved for the most part; in fact, some users are reporting better battery life with Rockbox than with the OF now.
As for when you're actually IN the OF, no Rockbox code is running, so there should be no effect on the OF's behavior.

Could you try and describe this in a different way or include a screenshot? This sounds like something that might be related to recent changes in the way things are displayed on the screens.
