AGPTEK Rocker
WaterWolf:
Hello!
Today I received my AGPTek Rocker today with firmware 1.2 to replace my old Sansa Clip Zip. I've installed the latest nightly rockbox build on it using the update_rb.upt file linked to earlier in this thread. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but I had to rename the file to just update.upt before the player recognised it as a firmware update.
Anyway, it all appears to be working really well. Thanks for the great work!
I have one question - how do you 'stop' playback on the rocker as opposed to 'pausing' it? I ask this because I have the setting turned on for creating a bookmark when playback is stopped, but I can't actually stop it! On the Clip Zip if I pressed the power button it would 'stop' and jump back to the main menu - on the rocker it locks and unlocks the buttons.

Press and hold the Play / Pause button seems to stop playback creating a bookmark.
I seem to have a problem though starting playback from a bookmark. Just takes me to the Delete? Y or N screen?
WaterWolf:
Yes, pressing and holding play seems to work thanks. I am able to resume playback on a bookmark successfully, at least from the Recent Bookmarks menu. Just select the bookmark and press Play.

Realised that it is bookmarks created on a FLAC file that cannot be used to restart playback. The mpa files of three hour and more radio programmes (extracted from satellite TV recordings on my Freesat PVR) work with Bookmarks properly which is actually what I want them for. So while it would be nice to have bookmarks usable on my music collection in FLAC format not an essential - I could always go back to the mp3 formatted version of my music library if it did start to annoy me.

Hey! I've had Rockboxed stuff for a while (about 6 years or so) but I just bought a Rocker (upgraded with 1.2 firmware) the other day since I really wanted a modern Rockbox player.
I was very happy to see it working, let me tell you. However, I've noticed some quirks so I decided to let you know about them.
Bear in mind that this stuff doesn't bug me for the most part, but are mostly nitpicks (from most to least important):
- I have to select Rockbox from a menu every time I turn the player on. Is there some way to have it go straight to Rockbox?
- The player hangs up when trying to leave some of the applications and demos, but more importantly it does so whenever I try to update the database or scan for album art. I have a fairly large music collection (a 200gb microSD card) so I don't know if it's either that or something with the software. So for now I can only play through folders. :-\
- Files don't fully disappear after I delete them.
- I tried to save before quitting "jewels", but it resets to play a new game when you resume.
- A lot of the 128x160 themes didn't fully work, at least for me.
- Doom gets a "Missing Base WAD" error when I try to start it up.
That's all for now. I know that as development goes on these will be ironed out, but I'm just giving some input to what I've found!
