Hi,

I'm having issues with the WLKR16n theme. It is not showing the time played in song or the dB of the volume. It looks like it is reporting out the hexadecimals instead.

EDIT: This seems to be an issue with any custom themes.

I finally got my M3K! it took around 1.5 months after ordering it on Ali Express. Of course the first thing I did is to install Rockbox (M3K_v1.4.3_e99db03-191013). The experience is overall very good, a good upgrade, specially the screen, after using the Sandisk Clip Zip.

I run into some issues:
- When connecting it to my PC through USB nothing happens. On the Fiio OS did recognize the unit and allowed me to browse the SD card
- Turning off the device didn't always work for me many times it just turns off the screen then if you click again on power off button the screen goes on and you are in the same place so it clearly didn't restart
- I think this was commented a couple of times, there is no way to skip forward or backwards. This for music is not so relevant. I use Rockbox mostly for audiobooks so it would be really great to have this working!

And this is not really an issue but I miss having this feature that was available on the Clip Zip: going to Settings > General Settings > System > Advanced Key Key Lock I would be able to decide what keys or actions are disabled and this was extremely useful for example in long audiobooks because I would disable "Skip" and leave "Seek" enabled, which means that it would never jump to another track by mistake but it would allow me to do seek (skip forward/backwards).

In any case thanks XVortex for supporting this device, which is quite affordable, and Rockbox is already much better than the original OS.

Loving the RockBox port, though there are still some issues. Is there likely to be another update soon? Still have issues with FF/RW and operating the volume control with the screen locked.

Edit: I just found a solution to the FF/RW issue. If you go into "Playback Settings > Fast Forward / Rewind > FF/RW Accel" and change it to 'Very fast', long pressing to fastforward/rewind works.

Hi again.

Here are some more comments that I hope are helpful to improve this great port:

New issues:
- 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 @XVortex in private if that helps.
- There is a (kind of) important screen that I could see on the clip zip that I can't reach using the Fiio M3K. Its a screen that allows you to select the playback speed, i use it to slowdown a bit audiobooks. Here is how it looks https://www.dropbox.com/s/jnl5ddplhm6w0p7/IMG_20191112_203959.jpg?dl=0, in the clip zip I access it by long pressing the pause/play button, I can't find any button that takes me there in the Fiio M3K.

Suggestions
- 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

Question:
- 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.

Hi,
Is it possible to have an option to make the volume buttons also support next/previous track?
Something like holding the button pressed or double pressing it for next/previous.

Bilgus · « **Reply #36 on:** December 06, 2019, 01:14:24 PM »

Sure it is possible kinda of an annoying way to do it though since you'd have to turn up and down volume one press at a time

Unfortunately I don't have any source to show you as it hasn't been added to the project (yet?) but you would edit the keymap

@XVortex would you be able to provide the source code and build instructions please? I notice you have a github project but it hasn't been updated in a while so I assume you have this stuff locally?

johnb · « **Reply #42 on:** December 28, 2019, 01:34:53 PM »

I would also love to get access to the source (for the Xduoo x3II), as I want to fix the missing display of album art (folder.jpg).

Hi,

Using the rockbox and Fiio M3K, I'm having some issues with audio playback. The music can be sometimes "laggy, choppy and glitchy" every few seconds. It looks like the buffer may be too low, but I don't see any option in the settings to increase the buffer size... what should I do? it can be quite annoying sometimes.

fossphile · « **Reply #44 on:** January 10, 2020, 10:29:45 PM »

Thank you for the rockbox port! been using it.

Bug: i find that with long dj mixes of music, so files that are say 1hour. rockbox has problems fast forwarding. It doesn't work very well, quite unusable. Much better is to change skip track to skip X seconds but then you lose the option to skip the track by tapping fast forward. :|

Hope this gets fixed, will be very grateful!

Tested with long mp3 dj mixes downloaded from sound cloud. like: https://soundcloud.com/djkaseyriot/dss-oct2018

Thank you
