I have just installed rockbox on my 60GB ipod photo I have read the manual ans searched these boards and can't find the solution to my problem.

I am trying to use the database and I can't seem to get it to work.

I have initialized and rebooted and I saw rockbox say that it was commiting but yet when I go to database all I have is a totally blank screen what it going on?
It makes no difference whether I turn on the loading in ram or not.

Also I can't play my songs through the file browser either, it says "no codec for(file path)

please help

Llorean:
It sounds like you haven't properly installed Rockbox.

The empty screen means that tagnavi.config wasn't found, and the "no codec" means the codec wasn't found.

Where exactly is your .rockbox folder, and what folders does it contain?

mark112887:
Thank you for the reply. I tried to do this just like the manual said I put the contents of the rockbox firmware zip file on the root of my ipod. the tagnavi.config is also on the root.

I do have a .rockbox folder on the root also and that contains database files a fonts folder backdrops folder and themes folder

Llorean:
The contents of the rockbox.zip is just one thing: the .rockbox folder.

In that folder is everything else. The manual says to extract the rockbox.zip into your iPod's root. If tagnavi.config went into the root instead of the .rockbox folder, you've done it wrong (you didn't preserve directory structures).

oh so all of this files and folder should have stayed in the.rockbox folder, I can't believe I did that and I am not even a new guy I'll start fresh and give it another shot
