Xduoo X3 II

[Dandaleon Flux]

Hey-o! Will gladly join testing. Any news on Bluetooth support? I've seen some talking about it in AGPTEK Rocker thread and to my understanding it's in early concept stage but I wonder how hard it would be to adapt possible BT implementation for this device.

[speachy]

The Rocker and X3ii share the same underlying hardware (and hosted Linux) platform, so when BT (eventually) works on one it'll work on the other.

Most of my attention these days is taken up by bigger-picture stuff (eg hosting transition and dealing with the regressions from trying to uprev the toolchains) but when that's done, if wodz hasn't come up with something for BT by then, I may take a crack at it.

I am not really using BT myself on this player, but somebody is doing lots of tweaks/improvements to the OF mainly regarding BT on github:

Maybe this is helpful ...

Downloaded the bootloader, extracted from the adobe acrobat file, renamed it update.upt, Put sd card into player. chose update player says update not found. What am I doing wrong?

The file is _not_ an acrobat file, and intstead of "extracting it" you should be using it exactly as is downloaded.

If it's giving you trouble I'd suggest downloading it with a different browser, and/or uninstalling the plugins/extensions that are mucking with your downloads..

Firefox or Chrome it downloads as a pdf file. player says no update found.

First, I cut-n-pasted the same instructions to everyone; so far six folks have reported success.  The files themselves (and the links) are fine.

Meanwhile, the ".upt" file is actually an ISO9660 filesystem image, suitable for putting onto a blank CD or DVD.  Within it are some binary firmware components and text files that describe the update to the player.  The upt file is not a pdf, and contains no pdfs, and google doesn't seem to come up with anything associating the "upt" extension with anything related to Acrobat. 

So if your system is thinking it is a PDF, it is a problem specific to your system (eg the browsers, some browser plugin/extension, and/or a proxy/firewall is silently mis-identifying and corrupting files) and there is nothing I can do about it on my end.

Can also confirm successful install. So far everything looks great and some bugs from previous version are gone. Like scrolling large directories/playlists doesn't work properly or files with Cyrillic symbols in filenames don't play at all.

Although I stumbled into a different problem with files containing Cyrillic symbols. After some messing around with files I was able to came up with following test case. I made two copies of a file and name them with names containing equal number of characters but first one only Latin symbols and second only Cyrillic (with a little mix of numbers and special characters). It looks like this on the root of SD-card:

Code: [Select]

/test_dir/test_directory_.dr/фовтпдфл дедфвлоел/0-lsdkjf[oja89sd9f9j09sadfj kf[ojkja[sdi fioajsdf90u23 09i8o;U(uA)J diojf aisdf09jasidhf823iojads0fj904ja90dfja[df.mp3
/test_dir/test_directory_.dr/фовтпдфл дедфвлоел/ФдолфывлфлдывоаждфлоывлаофывпфДОфдывдаодлитячснрлфоывалофжылвофлоывжлдфоыаждвлофывопщошфывадрмрфо2903гкофлдовлдфыв.mp3
The first one plays OK while second one doesn't play with error "Error accessing playlist file". My PC reports filesystem as VFAT and can access both files as usual without errors.

Are those Cyrillic filenames in UTF-8?  If they are, then each visible character most likely takes up two or more bytes, thereby exceeding the maximum file+path length despite the same number of "characters"

I suppose that filenames in UTF-8. Don't know how to check for sure, but on my PC filesystem was mounted with utf8 option and as far as I know other filesystems on Linux (from which I copied those files) use UTF-8 by default so that's most likely the case. Multi-byte nature of upper UTF characters also came to my mind as probable cause but I have no idea how to investigate this problem further. Any instructions?

[Njones]

inside the pdf file for the bootloader were these files.
_GITIGNO
SYSTEM.UBI
UBOOT.BIN
UIMAGE.BIN
UPDATE
VERSION
I put those into a new folder .Named that folder update.upt
Put that folder onto sd card.
Set system to update. Get message no update found.

Finally downloaded the bootloader on old laptop. It didn't show up as a pdf. Renamed and loaded onto player. updated  than I loaded rockbox from dev builds. Album art won't show and can't find a frequency setting.

[Njones]

Also, can't set date & time. Do you delete rockbox and or update.upt from sd card when completed? Also, I can't change Font size.

[avs2000]

Updated and seems to be working ok. 

Will there be an option to skip over the xDuoo screen and hiby/tools/rockbox menu and boot directly into rockbox sometime in the future?

@Njones download the Font Pack and put the Fonts folder in the .rockbox folder.  http://download.rockbox.org/release/3.15/rockbox-fonts-3.15.zip

Remove adobe acrobat Reader from computer and then bootloader downloads just fine.
