iPodVT:
Thanks very much, but I was only stating my experience as an FYI in reference to the OP's situation. 99.999% of my iPod usage is wired and handheld. It would be nice to have enhanced/expanded use of the remote control, and I will be happy to try a test build and report back, but it's not so important to me that I would consider it worthy of creating keymap conflicts for other users and other devices.

Nah, this isn't going to cause a keymap conflict for anyone; this is adding new maps for the previously unknown-to-rockbox keys.

(For the most part, Apple's IAP remote button mapping is function-oriented, eg it has different "buttons" for (eg) skipping a track vs skipping an album vs skipping a chapter vs fast-forwarding, so it's a _lot_ more featureful than the base ipod can be)

You can snag a test bulld here: https://www.shaftnet.org/~pizza/rockbox-ipod6g-iaptest.zip

(I recommend you back up your .rockbox dir if you're not already running a very recent daily build. This is basially git master plus several other experimental patches in my work tree..)

I must be doing something wrong. I booted my iPod into the Apple firmware, backed up the .rockbox directory, deleted the original, copied the .zip to my iPod's root directory, unzipped, and then tried to reboot into Rockbox. But the iPod won't boot beyond the intitial splash screen showing "Ver. 57680be1f4-231001".

Rather than me manually installing it, can Rockbox Utility install these test builds? I don't find any instructions to do so and, in fact, read "How can I install my own build using RockboxUtility? You can't, and we're not planning to support doing so." on the Utility's FAQ page.

rockbox_dev123:
I manually applied your patch to my fork and made a commit for this.

I just compiled a build for my 6g (I recovered the lost iPod!) and the Menu button does not do anything in the WPS. Neither do the UP/DOWN buttons on the remote navigate the File browser or main menu. I'll investigate if there is PEBKAC somehow, but I don't think I've missed anything!

FYI I'm using an Apple iPod Universal Dock (MA045G) and remote.
