Rockbox with no gui

contractartist:
I thank you both for your help. But this is not what I've been asking. I have a sandisk sansa e260 with a broken LCD screen, I only need music playback, from the very start, not lots of menu's to listen through to find the update database, and then to playback, I'm asking for help setting up a autorun config file, to bypass all but the (database update) and then play all/shuffle.

MarcGuay:
You don't need the database to update as you won't be using it.  There are many easy ways to create a playlist of all the songs on your player, and simply leaving the shuffle option on will take care of that aspect.  Having a custom script run at boot time would require you to patch your own build, I do believe.

contractartist:
any suggestions on where to start? Or how to add a script, what line in what file do you edit?

MarcGuay:
I guess searching the manual for the actions you want it to perform would be a good place to start.  Then finding how those actions are triggered in the code.  Then finding out the where's and what's of the Rockbox bootup process, and calling those functions in there.  Just using logic here, by the way, I have no practical experience modifying the code in this way.

The other option is much simpler:  Learn the two seconds worth of navigation required to do this manually.  

Chronon:
How about this idea:

1) Set your start screen to the file browser.  
2) Create a playlist of your music library and save it to the root of your player.
3) Hide all other files/folders in the root.
4) When you start up the playlist will be the only selectable file.

You shouldn't need the screen to do any of this.  The settings can be set with a .cfg file. The creation of the .cfg file and the other operations can be done from your computer.
