Midi Player

[ariebe9115]

Yo, i rockboxed my Sansa e260v1 and everytime i open a midi, it says no instrument found, i have no patchset but i found out there is one saved in /.rockbox/timidity/instruments/

The wiki page has a patchset linked: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/PluginMidiPlay
Development versions of Rockbox Utility can also install the patchset, but you'd need a development version (there are binaries of that around, see https://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,53588.0.html)

Uhh, 404 not found, thats why i ask here =/

That patchset is shipped with Duke Nukem 3D and is not meant to be used for midiplayer. You could always experiment, though...

Well, i tried, i moved the patches to /.rockbox/patchset and replaced "/.rockbox/timidity/instruments/" with "/.rockbox/patchset/" for every instrument, it didnt work for me, the cfg i tried named as "timidity.cfg" inside the patchset folder, didnt work
Renamed to "patchset.cfg" then it said failed to open "I've.pat"

EDIT: Ok after some modification of the file i found out its complicated to use that one, will wait for a reply, i just want something to listen to my at least 1000 midis

The wiki page seems to be outdated. The file is actually available on the Rockbox download server, see https://download.rockbox.org/useful/midi-patchset.tbz2 or https://download.rockbox.org/useful/patchset.zip (those files have the same content). Don't copy around files from doom, this won't work.

I've updated the wiki page.

Btw, if a download link in the wiki is broken it can be helpful to simply search download.rockbox.org
