Sansa E280 questions when connected to speaker system

(1/3) > >>

sleepystevenson:
Hello All,

I have really enjoyed Roxbox since installing a few months ago.

When I plug the Sansa into my  Sansa specific speaker system (Altec Lansing In Motion - IM413) I am having some trouble.

First, it reverts back and loads the original sansa interface, which is fine, but the problem is, less then HALF of the music files that are on my Sansa show up under the "Music" section. (however, when I look at the memory usage through the original interface under the "settings" section, it shows that the amount of memory used is correct ??)

What gives?  Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I also notice problems with my sansa synching with windows media player after it has reverted back to the original sansa interface.

Thanks!!!

GodEater:
Any problems you have with your sansa whilst it's running its original firmware are by definition not rockbox problems, so you're asking in the wrong place I'm afraid.

sleepystevenson:
Well, it's interesting that I never had this problem before I installed Rockbox, eh?  ;)

Not being a wisea**  but if it isn't Rockbox related, why did this never happen before rockbox was installed?

All the music files are shown when Rockbox interface is loaded, but not when the original interface is run.

So, the files are on there somewhere.

Chronon:
What version of Rockbox are you using?  Did you add files while you had Rockbox installed?  (Rockbox disables database refreshing when it launches the OF for USB mode in builds prior to native USB support.)  Have you updated the original firmware's database since adding files?  Are any of the files supported by Rockbox, but not by the original firmware?

sleepystevenson:
Thanks, Chronon.

I am using version 5.0 of Rockbox.  Yes, I have added many files since installing Rockbox.  (However, even ones that I added before installing Rockbox are not showing up under original firmware).  I didn't know there was a way to update the OF database?  All files should be supported by rockbox  and the original firmware as they are standard mp3 files, all ripped and stored in the same manner.  It seems really random which files are showing up in the OF and which are not.  Some are showing up that I put on there when I first got the Sansa (and didn't have rockbox)  and some are showing up that I have very recently added (with rockbox installed.)

Thanks again for attempting to help me out. And please excuse my limited technical expertise...!  :)
