Can we get support for the 64 meg cache instead of 32 on 5g 60gig?

Oh well darn. Don't know what to tell ya... quite a few others are compiling custom builds with this patch.

Yeah, I know. I'll try it again in the next day or so, see if I can make it work...just wanted to see if there was a general problem I wasn't hearing about!

i put julius's 64mb cache build on my 30gb 5g and it keeps freezing after like 5 seconds of playback.  override it with the non-64mb version of julius's build and it works fine. 

whats the point of the 64mb cache?

whats the point of the 64mb cache?

Only the 60gig ipod video has 64mb of ram; yours has 32mb. So, don't use the 64mb version.

Hey, guys. I just patched and compiled a new Rockbox with scroll patch and 64MB patch, based on yesterday's CVS updates. The patching seemed to work, scrolling is definitely faster, but the buffer on my 60GB iPod Video still shows only 32MB in the buffer. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

If its only showing 32MB it hasn't been applied. After you have patched and then run configure, check the Makefile in your build directory for a line that looks like this:
export MEMORYSIZE=64
if it is different it will not build with a 64MB buffer.

Thanks, Orfax, I'll look at that.

I just compiled and started using a new build today. It includes the 64mb patch, the autopause patch, and my new best friend, the playnav/quickexit patch. I stopped using the accelerated scrolling patch for the moment 'cause it just totally doesn't work well for me [with small fonts and a big screen].

To be crystal clear for any newcomers: this build is ONLY for 60gig video ipods.

Could you upload that one again please. The Link is down...

MANY THX

I removed it--updates will be in this thread from now on.

Here's a July 1st with just the 64 meg patch installed.  I decided against that one major custom build that's going around since I don't use the autoscrobber and other things that tend to access the disk which cause the battery to not last as long.

it is still up to individuals to enable the 64MB in configure.

You can reference the patch here:
FS#5472 — ipod 64MB memory

At a request from linuxstb, I've updated the patch so it also adjusts configure. After the patch has been applied, you do *not* need to do any further adjustments to configure.

When you run configure, there will be a new option, "22", to select. This is the ipodvideo 64MB build.

For those that are using this patch, I've updated it to set the ipodvideo 64MB build to "24" as there are a couple of new builds (taking 22 and 23).

Following Bagder's suggestion on FS, I posted a new patch that prompts the user to select which model he/she has once the ipod video is selected in configure, rather than creating a separate entry for it.  Let me know what you think.

Febs, looks good. I did a small change to the paths for the change to configure but otherwise it worked well.
