Xduoo X3 II

[schwabi]

I'll see if I can dig up some compatible headphones and see if xDuoo/Hiby implemented this in a straightforward manner.

I was able to figure out how support for the inline remote was implemented on the X3ii.  Builds from 2021-03-21 will have it fully integrated.

Only the middle button seems to work (play/prev/next), the volume control does not seem to be implemented.  But hey, that's something!

Also in other news, I reworked the keymapping a bit so that the prev/next keys generally do the right thing, though in the list/menu/settings context they remain as before as that physically maps better (ie upper button means 'up').

That is amazing. Could one hardware mod the player to get volume control? I wouldn't mind trying/doing that

It's a limitation of the linux kernel that the device uses.

Can you make the inline remote optional? the only reason my device still is usable is because rockbox doesn't register those.

How does this render your device unusable?  Only thing I can think of is defective hardware..

Bingo. i thought it was just a fluke, but I purchased a unit for parts and the same issue, phantom button presses in the stock firmware. I think it must be a failure point when dropped repeatedly. Totally usable with prior builds of rock box.

Bluetooth playback on stock works fine, its only when a cable is inserted into the headphone jack. Line out works fine, but using the headphone jack it pauses forwards and rewinds randomly.

I should be able to build it myself by omitting that change in git correct? Or is it not that simple?

[speachy]

As a general rule rockbox has to assume the hardware is functioning properly, but I pushed a change that makes disabling the remote simpler.

in firmware/target/hosted/xduoo/button-xduoo.c, comment out the line that says #define USE_REMOTE.

[schwabi]

Could it be made possible that if the screen is locked, only the remote can control the player and not the hardware buttons?

It is nice to have the remote to skip and repeat tracks, but when I have it in my pocket the buttons on the device get pushed when I move.

Hello everyone, 🙂

First of all, thank you to the devs for making it possible to run RB on the X3 II. My trusty old Clip Plus died on me after many many years of use a couple of months ago and now I finally have a suitable replacement for it in the X3 II. 👍

Maybe I have found a bug, but I'm not entirely sure. It would be nice if someone could verify it.
No matter what I set the 'View files' and 'Show filename extensions' options to, RB just refuses to hide the file extensions in the file browser. I'm using the daily build of RB from yesterday.

That's all for now.
Take care.

Hey SpaceTurkey,

I just installed last build (2021-06-01, rev 663c5268ac) and I have tested the different options under "Show filename extensions" and all work as intended. Right now I have configured this option to ""only when viewing all types" and they are hidden. The option "off" also hides the extensions and "on" makes them visible.

Sorry I'm not able to help any further.

Thank you, dhugas.
Interestingly enough it still does not seem to work over Here. I say "seem", because I can't verify it visually myself as I'm a blind person and have to use the voice feature. I'm sure it's not the way my Sansa behaved, but could it be that the voice filenames function does not realize that file extensions have been turned off and always spells everything?
Either way, all in all this is a minor issue.

Hi, is it possible activate "AB repeat" for this player? I saw it was in older builds for old players, but in the last build for x3 ii this option is not exist...  There should be option AB_REPEAT_ENABLE and add keymapping for this (with combination of two keys or one key).

Thanks.

[undergrounddreamer]

Well, I've try myself, build it with new options:

/firmware/export/config/xduoox3ii.h
  #define AB_REPEAT_ENABLE

/apps/keymap-xduoox3ii.c
   //{ ACTION_WPS_STOP,        BUTTON_PLAY|BUTTON_REL,           BUTTON_PLAY }, //commented
  { ACTION_WPS_ABSETB_NEXTDIR,    BUTTON_PLAY|BUTTON_NEXT,   BUTTON_PLAY },
  { ACTION_WPS_ABSETA_PREVDIR,    BUTTON_PLAY|BUTTON_PREV,   BUTTON_PLAY },
  { ACTION_WPS_ABRESET,           BUTTON_PLAY|BUTTON_OPTION,   BUTTON_PLAY },

Short press "play" + "<<", ">>" set A, B,  and "play" + "options" to reset.

AB repeating is working fine now on flac, mp3, but there is weird pause with shot stutters with Opus (but still usable for learning how to play or sign segment on fly).

Hi, speachy, can you add support for all 5 AK4490 figital filters please ?

I have tested it, they are working as supposed. (0=sharp, 1=slow, 2=short sharp, 3=short slow, 4=super slow) (really prefer for some cases the "super slow" mode)

Hi! is it possible to go back to the previous PREV and NEXT configuration, without compiling?
thanks in advance!
