Apple iPod Remote

vkeios:
I just tried, no icon change . But there is an audible change in volume. (magic?)

Llorean:
Basically, docks should have their own volume control. Rockbox, and the iPod firmware too I think, output from the dock connector at line level. Which means that no matter what the iPod's volume is set at, what comes out the dock is at one specific level, and so the dock itself has to increase or decrease that for your speakers.

Which is why the icon on the iPod shouldn't change.

woyciesjes:
Any updates to this? Is it working now?

rastaman01:
I just bought the Apple Radio Remote and it works with my 80GB 5G iPod Video.  Two kinks:
- FM radio doesn't work, unless you restart the unit to the Apple firmware... which is what I do if I want to listen to radio.  It would be nice if Rockbox let you use it as an FM radio, and allow you to record that way.
- In order for Rockbox to recognize the unit (and allow you to plug in your headphones to the radio) you must first press a volume + or - once.  Then all the controls work.  The delay on the controls is something to improve though...
- The hold slider works, but it doesn't put the player controls on hold (just the remote's controls).

Is any work being done specifically to get this working?

Llorean:
Work has to be done by someone who owns one, basically. So, hopefully you're volunteering.
