New Development Builds Will Not Allow USB Connection Clip Zip

[Mihail Zenkov]

If you agree be tester we can try localize (bisect) regression.

Tell me what does that entail...being a tester? Also what is the "http://knk.bplaced.net/rockbox-usb/rockbox1.zip"

Also, would you PLEASE answer my query...what advantages will the new dev build give me over 3.13 with my Zip??

If those advantages are minimal (in my opinion) I would probably rather stay with 3.13

The developer is giving you an opportunity to test a build that includes patch sets that have not yet been included to the mainline code base.

Whether you use his builds or not is up to you, but in my honest opinion no one should be using the release builds at this stage.

They are only stable in name, not in nature.

The development builds include several years worth of stability improvements, optimizations, and additional features.

Just install builds when I post it and check have this build problem with usb or not.

Also what is the "http://knk.bplaced.net/rockbox-usb/rockbox1.zip"

First build for test.

Also, would you PLEASE answer my query...what advantages will the new dev build give me over 3.13 with my Zip??

If those advantages are minimal (in my opinion) I would probably rather stay with 3.13

http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/MajorChanges + bug fix + big improvement in battery life in near future. And other improvements in future.

I don't have your problem, but I agree waste my time to fix this problem. If you agree help with testing we can try fix it.

We have a change log on the front page too if you want to see what been added in the 2 years since 3.13.

Mihail. will be glad to test your builds and report. But just to make sure :: I will be installing the builds you upload, when I unzip the files ( to a .rockbox folder on my computer), I will simply copy that entire directory to my Sansa Zip .rockbox folder, meaning overwrite each folder and each file within the  Sansa .rockbox folder...and that I will not lose any of my settings or configurations, correct??

You said "Just install builds when I post it and check have this build problem with usb or not." -- will the daily dev builds be the ones you want me to test, or will you upload specific builds here to this thread that pertain to the possible USB problem? Thus far, none of the dev builds corrects the USB problem

Soon as you reply to this I will start and report back regarding the USB problem.

Thanks

Saw that, and noted, the one I am especially interested in is the "Improved battery life on the Clip v2, Clip+, Clip Zip and Fuze v2"

The inability to do a connection to the USB port of my laptop remains my main concern, though I have found a work-around so I can keep all the build uploaded installed on the Sansa Zip, thanks again

Preferred way to test:
1. insert player and rename your .rockbox folder to something else (.rockbox1)
2. unpack my build to player
3. poweroff player
4. test it
5. remove .rockbox folder and rename .rockbox1 to .rockbox

I want try find commit which introduce this problem. So I just try to build revision between 3.13 release and 10-08-2014.

Very good news::

I unzipped your rockbox1.zip to my Sansa Zip, (Version 1b90645M-150215) and voila...the laptop now correectly sees the Sansa and it's microHD insert, as Drives I: and J:, so it looks like all is well on that end.

Of interest, today's dev build (0f34c51-150215) does NOT connect to the USB port correctly.

I have tried this update on both of my Sansa Zips and both behave the same, looks like you found the problem...can you explain what it was??

It just beginning in long hard way
I build 3.13 in my environment (compiler/libs) to be sure that ok.

Next test:http://knk.bplaced.net/rockbox-usb/rockbox2.zip

rockbox2.zip does not work (not recognized as Sansa) on laptop.

Keep 'em coming.

Where are you located? I am American but live in Spain, so if you're going by US time, I will be out of touch for 8 or so hours (as Spani time is 8 hours ahead...when you're awake, I'm sleeping often. If you are in Eastern Europe (going by your name, no disrespect intended), you're 2 hours or so ahead of me

Rockbox3.zip does not connect correctly.

In next 8-10 builds we should define problem place.
