Ipod Video 5.5 stable vs Ipod Classic 7.5 unstable
« on: July 03, 2018, 09:52:09 AM »
Hi,
i have both Ipod Video and Ipod Classic modded with Tarkan MicroSDQuad 800 gb.
I noticed that the classic is much much faster when it comes to transfering music, building the database and creating large playlists etc.
But i had problems with the classic to build the database, so only after the 2nd or third attempt it finished writing it.
With the video i have the problem that it continiously accesses the SD cards , if i have library cache enabled.
Also Database to ram takes a much longer access time than on the classic.
So if i had to choose one, which one should i keep?
I like the classic by far better, but what does unstable really mean? What are the bugs, why it is called unstable compared to the ipod video?

The classic is unstat because the installer hasn't been merged.

It means that the official Rockbox Utility doesn't currently support automatic bootloader installation, though there is a modified rbutil available for download.

The port is mostly functional from a user standpoint.

Thank you __builtin,
the utility is what i used to get the bootloader onto the classic.
as i said, it works much faster than the video, so i guess i will keep the classic.
