3.0 release: remote support for h1xx

[Mmmm]

One of the conditions for 3.0 release is that complete remote support for the irivers is implemented.....I thought I might (no promises on results though ) give this a go.

I was wondering if anyone knows exactly what isn't supported yet, just to save me a bit of time mucking about on my player until something doesn't work.

Anyone know/anyone noticed something that doesn't work?

I can only tell you that the iRiver H300 LCD Remote buttons are bugged in the CVS, but are fixed with a patch already in Flyspray.

I don't know about the other remotes.

I haven't got it in front of me, but bookmarks is one that springs to mind - you can select the menu item, but them the remote is of no more use, you have to actually select the bookmark on the main unit.

There are also some things that clearly can't fit on the remote screen, but it'd be really good if you could at least exit them without having to get the main unit out of your bag.

Good work Mmmm, if only I had the skills to help...

Bugged all the time in all screens? OK, well, if there's already a patch that's ok.

ok then, I'll attempt a look into bookmarks...

In which screens does this happen?

Heh heh..well, maybe a bit premature....Saying I'll give it a go and actually coming up with the goods are two entirely different things! Oh, and you are helping already!

I have just completed the new display gui code in the recording screen/peakmeter (i think) though so that's a start! I'll post it on the tracker now....

[Mmmm]

OK, bookmarks screen is sorted

Any more? 

I think I'll take a break for today while I wait for more suggestions... there are only so many 'FOR_NB_SCREENS(i)' and 'screens(i).' you can do in one day you know!

[Mmmm]

Aha...I found a list...

- A-B | Sound Settings | Equalizer | Graphical EQ
 - A-B | Sound Settings | Equalizer | Save EQ Preset (the virtual keyboard)
 - A-B | Manage Settings | write .cfg file (the virtual keyboard again)

Good luck Mmmm - having to dig my iriver out of my bag to exit a plugin or menuscreen is the only thing that bugs me about Rockbox.

Some of the plugins will cause this to happen, such as jpeg viewer, but I don't know if sorting them counts are release critical.

I can't program for toffee, so many thanks to yourself and others making RB so good on the H1xx.

I did the "Show ID3 Info" screen a while ago:

Think some of the eq stuff was recently added to CVS by Dan too.

Add LCD remote interface for the graphical equalizer. Patch #5585 from jdgordon.

[Mmmm]

Thanks for the updates

I've just finished the rockbox info screen, so its just the virtual keyboard left.... (and the debug entries..they're not so important though).

I think I'll leave that one till tomorrow....I need my lunch!

lowlight: I changed the Category of your patch to 'remote' so now it's nice and easy to find

The H300 buttons aren't entirely bugged. People seem to like to report them being bugged, when really the assignments aren't what they expected, and they never clarify.

To my understanding, in the filetree, the buttons on the remote that are labelled the same as the main unit don't do the same things as the main unit. To my understanding it's just in the browser/menus. But as he said, there's a patch, and I believe someone looking into fixing it up

[AlexP]

Blimey, good work already!  When I said some screens wouldn't fit on the remote and could do with just being able to quit, I was probably thinking of plugins, which I guess would need to be altered themselves.  They aren't a huge deal however, as long as the main stuff works!

That's a nice long list you have there though, good luck...

Ahhh......... there is no specific definition of the H300 remote in the code, It just uses the same as the H100 remote...So I suppose it's quite likely that the buttons are a bit muddled! But as you know, if no-one clarifys, it ain't gonna get fixed! I can't find the patch either Oh well...

That's a nice long list you have there though, good luck...

I've nearly finished now.... just one to go...but it's the hard one..I've been saving it especially!
For the virtual keyboard I'm going to have to display different things on the main screen and the remote because of the sizes...aahhhh it takes me back to those peak-meter days!

Well, a list of what keys needed to be fixed is *somewhere* on the Patch Tracker.
Actually, it's here: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4860
There's a patch that goes with it, and I'm not sure how much it fixes, but the keymappings that are wrong are listed in one of the comments.

Ooh ta Llorean... I may look at that after the virtual keyboard....
