H10 bugz!

[Sorcerer]

Hi everyone!
I`m new iRiver H10 Rockbox user. (the model is H10 6gig UMS)

I fell very grateful towards developers for making all this thing with it porting it for this player.

But there are some major bugs with the firmware:

1. The firmware doesn`t support Cyrillic symbols.
I live in Ukraine so i have many son names and tags written in Cyrillic.
Switching codepage wont work.
Maybe the problem is fonts which have no cyrillic letters.
How do I make fonts for my player?

2. The peak meter. ITS AN AWFUL BUG PEOPLE!
when the peak meter is on the player wont play any music file properly - the play is constantly interrupted with ~1 sec stops.
I was seeking the roots of the problem in many areas before my grubby little hands occassionally made wps without this thing.

3. I do know that firmware display resolution is 160x128... but the resolution on the display is only 100x100.
will there be fixes to picture-browsingplugin?
Also? when i tried to script the background image in wps (160x128 256 colors bmp) the thing resulted in error

4. Doom plugin wont work - it requests wad file - ehat the hell is this?

I do know that the H10 version is in developement stages.
I can test the things for you if needed. %)

P.S. sorry if i have any mistakes in this post - english is not my native language))

This post is in the wrong location. I'm moving it after I finish this response. PLEASE read the posting guidelines before posting, this should really be multiple posts in different places.

1) Many fonts have Cyrillic letters. Try unifont perhaps. As it is, if you can make BDF format fonts, there is bdfconv tool in the rockbox sources for converting them to the Rockbox format.

2) Yes, it's an annoying bug. It also happens on iPods. It is NOT an easy fix, and will take time. Deal with it.

3) How are you coming up with 100x100? What evidence do you have?
Also, backdrop images must be 24-bit. 256 color will not work. Do you still get an error message if you try it with a backdrop image that actually follows the rules? If so, what is the message?

4) WAD files are the actual game files. Read the PluginDoom wiki page.

Sorcerer, you'll like the manual!

Sorry for posting into wrong place.)

1) I`ll try them.

2) It`s not such a precious function) in original firmware people dont have such thing)

3) Yes. I`ve tried one bmp image with 24bit and 256. It resulted the same error.

4) thanx. I will download these files

2) is resolvable by simply using a WPS without peakmeters. As I said, deal with it. If you're okay not having peakmeters, then dealing with it is as simple as not using them

As for 3), I asked you to tell us what the error message is, which you still haven't.

[Bagder]

The H10 5 and 6GB devices have a 128x128 LCD.

Here you can see which fonts have cyrillic support:

If your tags still don't look right read this:

thanx people!

1) and 2) I`ve installed an iAmp wps - it has no peak meter and uses the font that supports cyrillic symbols

4) works fine with wads

->
the thing about equaliser... it has the same bug that the peak meter? symptoms are all the same. Is it easy to fix?

[pabouk]

Yes, it is the same problem. The code is not optimised for this target yet. The "fix" is not so easy - it means to rewrite some heavily used parts of the code to run faster.

As for 3), I asked you to tell us what the error message is, which you still haven't.

the error mesage is:

DATA ABORT AT 400002B0
(sorry for posting it late)

The 128x128 image works fine ^.^ I`ve modified the 160x128 image from premade theme to fit on screen and it worked %)
