Restoring DRM after RB removed

(1/2) > >>

Phuse:
I read many posts on the DRM issue. If you want DRM, dont use RB. Simple.
What I wanted to understand is what is happening (Fuze particularly)
in the player to permanently disable DRM if RB is removed and a clean
OF put back?

TexasRockbox:
Rockbox firmware does not decode any tracks encoded with DRM.  Rockbox doesn't do anything to DRM tracks -- it just won't play them.   Original firmware may play DRM tracks.  If Rockbox is removed and the original firmware restored, then all should be as it was.   That's how I understand it.

gevaerts:
It might help if you said what player you're talking about

saratoga:
See the note on this page next to the install directions:

http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaAMS

AFAIK this is the extent of what is known about the issue on the Fuze.

mc2739:
DRM problems with the Fuze and other AMS Sansas were thought to be caused by improper handling of the rtc.  This has been fixed, and there have been some reports of DRM working in the OF after installing Rockbox.  This may not be true in all cases.
