iPod Video 30GB 5.5g not charging in usb mode [SOLVED]
Shovas:
I reverted to the official 3.1 build using the installer utility. it's from somewhere in Dec 08.
In the same scenario where the battery would be quickly discharging (linux, usb mode, partition mounted, files playing through amarok), it doesn't seem to be discharging anymore.
Might be too early to tell but I'll leave it running and let you know.
soap:
That is because 3.1 uses Apple's disk mode, not Rockbox's.
It is fully expected to charge properly there.
Shovas:
Been running for a few hours now and it does seem to be charging properly.

I've been running current builds for a number of years so I guess the least we can say is that between 3.1 and the latest something got messed up.

I don't think you understood soap. Hes saying that the apple firmware always charges the battery, since changing rockbox does not change the apple firmware. So you should be able to charge in the apple firmware with the current build installed as well.
soap:
"The latest" current builds don't reboot into Apple firmware for disk mode, they use Rockbox's USB mode (notice the difference in connect screens?), and Rockbox is unable to charge your player properly.
This issue is known, is a large part of the reason why Rockbox's USB mode has been turned off in the pending 3.2 release, and is being actively discussed and worked on here.
EDIT - I edited your first post simply to s/iPOd/iPod/ That large O was bothering me for some reason.
