3.0 release: remote support for h1xx

[Mmmm]

well I use a H300, but the H100 LCD remote. its working like a charm, with paulheu's experimental build and some patches, albeit.
I donno how many of those patches made it into CVS recently.

Go into mode->manage settings->write .cfg file

 I bet your remote isn't working now eh?

Any idea then we can expect to see the remote support for bookmarks committed?

It feels like I have been waiting for it for this fix/addition of missing functionality for ever.

Who knows...linuxstb committed the info screen support and kevin (dont know his nick) committed the Id3 screen support....
I suppose whenever someone with commit access gets interested...you should go on IRC and try nagging a bit!

It is part of the 3.0 release requirements so it will definitely be before then.

I'm kevin 
And yes I wrote (in an sudden excess of motivation) and commited the id3 screen support patch 

About your patch, I really don't know, I'm the kind of guy that prefer to rewrite from scratch when I think it can be done in a better way that what is done now, but on the other hand almost everyone else working on the remote has been using an approach like your so ...

OK thanks for the update.  I was aware that there was some debate over whether the patch was the best approach to adding virtual keyboard support for the remote, but I was not aware of any issues with the book marking patch.

As the feature freeze has resulted in a massive increase in the stability of Rockbox I am quite happy to wait on the best approach being worked out.

[Mmmm]

Remote support for bookmarks and VK is committed!

[Dwyloc]

That’s excellent news thanks, keep up the good work.

Most h120 were supplied with them but you can buy a replacement on ebay, quite a few are being listed at the moment.

[Llorean]

And if that fails, iRiver America still offers them for $35 I believe.

I got mine on eBay for 20 USD + shipping & handling.

Just for clarity: There are three types of iRiver remotes (that I know of) that will work with the H series sockets. I.E. the iHP-1xx (H1xx) and the H3xx series of players.

1. The original H1xx remote (LCD)
2. The 'blind' remote. (no LCD)
3. The Joystick remote (LCD) <-- rare and SUPER cool IMO




The ultimate in Rockbox sweetness would be full functionality of all three remotes on both players.

When support for functionality is commited to CVS what remotes are supported? Which players?

Right. I believe certain regions of H300-series models got the joystick remote. My iMP-900 CD player coems with that remote and it works perfectly on my iMP-550 (H100-generation) CD player as well. The 'blind' remote included with US H300-series models, the iMP-1100, and some of iRiver's current PMP models sucks for any serious navigation, but may be OK for users who just put their music on random and wish to just pause/stop/volume change/power on/off here & there...

PS: Adding to that sweetness would be at least some plug-in support on the remotes (especially the plug-ins that don't need or use the entire screen).

Yes, and it'll work with both the H100 and H300 Series, too, IIRC.

I've been looking for an iMP-900 (for said remote), but they're like gold dust
