Fuze V2 USB mode in Rockbox Mode

[bolski]

Now that the Fuze V2 is considered a stable port, I had assumed that I could sync with the Fuze V2 under Rockbox rather than the original firmware, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I need to turn on? Under the OFM, I have it set to MSC mode.

Thanks!

Okay. Thanks. I wasn't sure if that update was old and hadn't been removed or if it meant even though V2 is stable, it still can't do the USB mode yet.

Thanks! I'll keep a watch out for when this is fixed.

Sorry, for bringing this Up again:

I read about the Patch that fixed the issue for some users.
Is there any success on this Issue? Is there a way to download a FUZE v2 Firmware with implented Patch (sorry, I don't know how to compile one my self)

Best regards

You can use this custom build by dfkt:

I tested it and it mostly works. Sometimes the player isn't recognized and file transfers are somewhat slower. Some people report filesystem errors which can be fixed by chkdsk.

If you only want to get rid of the OF's annoying database refresh, there is this workaround I proposed a while ago:

Thank you! It works great for me!

What I want to get rid is the playlist problem. If I sync a playlist to my micro SD in my Sansa I had to edit the Playlist file after the sync.
I will try if the USB mode in Rockbox makes any change for this!

EDIT: Doesn't help either... Playlists on the micro SD are not recognized AND can't be played after copying them on the Playlist folder on internal memory....

Playlists on the micro SD are not recognized AND can't be played after copying them on the Playlist folder on internal memory....

Sure. That's an entirely different problem that has nothing to do with USB, I'm afraid.

When you create a playlist on your computer, the file path of each entry will contain the drive letter that is assigned to the SD card by Windows or whichever OS you are using. Once you replace the drive letter by /<microSD1> - the mount point under which Rockbox accesses the SD card slot - playlists will work from the playlist directory. But I guess you know that already.

Yes I know that 
But it's not really comfortable 
I'm trying to find a solution for Mediamonkey and my rockboxed Sansa!

Never the less: At least I don't need the original Firmware for syncing anymore

[Progweed]

Isn't there a program called Sansa Playlister or something like that? I never used it, but the name suggests that it might be able to solve this problem.

Sorry, it's not made for fuze

I wrote already a script to rename the Playlist... I only can't copy the Playlist automatically to the other folder.... (or I don't find the right command for that)

<sup>Const ForReading = 1
    Const ForWriting = 2
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

   Sub FixRockboxM3Us()

    '--Set Variable for Path  -- the script will search all files in this path (unless limited by extention below)

         sPath = "L:\Playlists"

    '--Get extension to search For -- Limit the search to files with this extension

          sExt = "m3u"

    '--Call the Function to Do search and Replace

    s = DoSearch(sPath, sExt)

   End Sub

    ' -- The meat of the script ... function to replace text, basically reads all text into a variable then replaces any instance of
    '-- \Music with . then writes the contents of the modified variable to the same filename.

    Function DoSearch(FolPath, sExtName)

    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    Dim SubPath, Fol, s1, sList, oFol, Fils, oFil, s, sPath, Fols, LExt
        LExt = Len(sExtName)
        sExtName = UCase(sExtName)
        Set oFol = objFSO.GetFolder(FolPath)
        Set Fils = oFol.Files
          If Fils.count > 0 Then
             For Each oFil In Fils
                Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(sPath & oFil, ForReading)
                strText = objFile.ReadAll
                objFile.Close
                If InStr (strText, "microSD1") < 1 Then
               strNewText = Replace(strText, "\Music\", "\<microSD1>\music\")
            End If
               
                Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(sPath & oFil, ForWriting)
                objFile.WriteLine strNewText
                objFile.Close
             Next
             
             SDB.MessageBox "Successfully fixed " & Fils.count & " M3U playlists.", mtInformation, Array(mbOk)
             
           End If
    End Function</sup>



@Mods: Sorry for beeing so offtopic

I don't know much about VB Script, but I guess this FileSystemObject you create provides a copy method of some kind. If all else fails, there is certainly a way to issue a shell command. I think ShellExecute is the corresponding WinAPI function.

[ruebyi]

I don't know much either! It's a script I found online and edited so it worked for my Sansa!
