They also don’t work for continuous fast-forward and rewind. They both work correctly in “vortex’s” first Rockbox download.

it was fast forward/backward. i was annoyed at the compromise of losing skip back/forth in order to tap to skip x sec instead of hold down for fast forward/rewind.
Thank you for mentioning my woe. :)

This is great news! quite exciting, I am using the M3K heavily and it is great device even with the existing firmware limitations. Thank you speachy for working on this.
Some suggestions that I already posted in a different thread. I know it is too early, I just wanted to leave them documented since this is where the development is being reported.
- While playing any audio file, in the "While Playing" screen, there are no actions assigned to the touchpad (scrolling up / down), I think it would be a great feature to control the volumen up/down there by swipping up/down the touchpad button. That way we don't need to use the hardware buttons to control volume as long as we are seeing that screen. even better if it is customizable, some people might prefer brightness up/down, right now there is no action assigned to scroll up/down the touchpad during playback.
- It would be good to remove the problem that efqw explained about how the firmware is constantly logging to a file and maybe wearing out the NAND.
- Is it possible to setup the M3K so it just starts directly to Rockbox without any countdown and just with a single click on the power button (instead of long press)? that's how the clip zip is setup by default: quick click to power button runs Rockbox, power button + volume down button runs Sansa firmware. This makes it quick to turn it on and it is also more gentle on the power button, it will last longer.
- Currently there doesn't seem to be a way to stop the playback, the playback can be paused, but not stopped. I think this is important for the power saving options. So if for example in the clip zip I used to be able to tap in a button that will create a bookmark and stop the playback, and if there is a automated power off setting for 5 minutes of standby, then in 5 minutes the device is off. In the M3K if I am listening to an audiobook and I can only pause the playback and then the automatic stand by power off setting is never triggered.
- It is currently a bit difficult to reach the screen that allows you to select the playback speed, i use it to slowdown a bit audiobooks. I mean this one https://www.dropbox.com/s/jnl5ddplhm6w0p7/IMG_20191112_203959.jpg?dl=0, in the clip zip I accessed it by long pressing the pause/play button, I can't find any button that takes me there in the Fiio M3K, but I did see that there is a way to access it by navigating quite a bit.
Issues that I had
- I have a big file (a long audiobook) that plays perfectly on the Sansa Clip Zip with Rockbox, and also in the Fiio M3K when using Fiio firmware. It doesn't however play when using Rockbox in Fiio M3K, it doesn't do anything. Are there any logs that I can attach? where can I find them? The file properties can be seen here https://www.dropbox.com/s/rh5u0227297uf3q/SMPlayer%20-%20File%20properties%202019-11-12%2020.38.28.png?dl=0, I can share it with you in private if that helps.
- The problems with transferring files through USB, in general this doesn't seem to work. Not a big deal to me, I just transfer them directly to the sd card.

It is _far_ too early to talk about feature/bugrequests, especially versus an unofficial build/fork.
I can only promise you that when the "official" binaries are finally installable, they will present a different set of bugs than what you're used to.

Sounds like a improvement :)

Would be cool to have option to replace volume buttons with next/prev actions and move volume control to touch slider (so making control very similar to iriver h10). I believe it would make it conveniently controlled from the pocket.
