Hardware / Recording on iPod Video
« Last post by Outland on May 24, 2023, 02:23:01 PM »From what I understand, the iPod Video has a line-in record set of pins on the dock connector. Rockbox can then use those pins to record a line-level stereo signal with one of the 3rd party adapters like the MicroMemo.
What I don't understand is why those pins are there in the first place. No Apple accessory provided a line-in jack as far as I know, and the iPod was never advertised as a recorder. Why are they there?

Test signal is local file generated in REW software. 4kHz square signal, 192k sample rate, PCM24.
High performance mode:
* Sharp filter
* Slow filter
* Short-Sharp filter
* Short-Slow filter
Power save mode
* Sharp filter
* Slow filter
* Short-Sharp filter
* Short-Slow filter
Playing the same file on original firmware

Theming and Appearance Customization / WPS Peak Meters on iPod 4th Gen (ClickWheel)
« Last post by iPodVT on May 23, 2023, 10:05:52 PM »Today I installed Rockbox (the current dev build) on an iPod 4th Gen (ClickWheel) and I love it. Being used to using Rockbox on 5/6/7 Gen Classic iPods, I was surprised to see peak meters in the WPS and after a little while I decided to switch them off but I couldn't find anything in Settings to accomplish that. So I checked the latest online manual for that model iPod and read in section 13.5.6. Peak Meter, "To save battery runtime you should switch this feature off (see section 4.3.2 (page 34))." But when I went to section 4.3.2 I didn't find any mention of how switch it off. I also searched the manual for all references to "peak meter" but still didn't find a way to switch them off. Is the feature switchable via Settings or only by re-theming the WPS? Thanks.

Plugins/Viewers / Re: Is there any way to configure specific filename exclusions in Disk Tidy?
« Last post by iPodVT on May 22, 2023, 10:01:25 AM »Being unable to walk away from this, I have tried many variations of entries under < Other > at the bottom of the custom config file. Nothing seems to have any effect at all for me, whether adding items to get deleted or adding items to exclude from getting deleted. I have no idea whether I'm using incorrect syntax for the entries I add to the custom config file, or I am incorrectly making seletions in the Files to Clean screen, or Disk Tidy is broken.
Could someone post an entry that they have added to the custom config file that has actually had an effect when the plugin gets run? Thanks.

Apple - Installation/Removal / Ipod Classic (80GB) auto-restart when unpluged from PC (and made factory reset)
« Last post by Eloy on May 22, 2023, 09:37:16 AM »Hi, I'm new on this but I'm doing my best. I´ve just buy an iPod Classic (80GB) Model A1238, with broken HDD. At this moment I replace it with an iFlash board with a microSD Card 128GB Sandisk (everything compatible and working). I follow https://freemyipod.org/wiki/Restore_iPod_without_iTunes guide and re-install iPod's firmware. When I see iPod's booting de firmware and all the menus i was crying jajaja but suddenly I see something suspicious, the DiskSpace is 118GB on use and 0 kB free 
. I unplugged the ipod and it boot again with iPod firmware not saving my config (brigthness, language, etc) Thinking about it, I think the problem is where I installed thath firmware. I also try using the Rockbox utility in Mac OS, in a Virtual Machine with W7, and finnally in a PC with W10 32 bits worked and install everything. But not working as expected. I need help please.

« Last post by iPodVT on May 22, 2023, 12:49:08 AM »I should add that I have gotten quite comfortable and even a bit adept at jockeying around on the virtual keyboard, so my workaround of keeping a renamed copy of the one ._ file that I don't want to get deleted is fast and easy. I keep the renamed copy in an adjacent directory, and when necessary I copy and paste a new copy back into the root directory and then just delete the single camo character from the front end of the filename, and I've got my ._ file back in place. So there's no need to spend any more time on trying to help me get Disk Tidy to do what I want. But, of course, I am still curious to know...

« Last post by iPodVT on May 22, 2023, 12:09:43 AM »Thanks very much for your reply and suggestion, but all of the ._ files in the root directory are still getting deleted. In the Files to Clean screen I first click <NONE> to get rid of all of the green triangles. Then under <MAC OSX> I click ._* to give it a green triangle. Then at the bottom under <Other> I leave /._* turned off (no green triangle). Does that all conform with what you were suggesting/thinking?

Custom configuration
Add any custom folders or files to the bottom of the disktidy_custom.config file in the following format:
< Title >: no
file.ext: no
sub/folder/: no
file2.ext: no
so I think
Code: [Select]

New Ports / Re: Rockbox as an Application (Android, WebOS etc.)
« Last post by sadur on May 21, 2023, 11:06:35 AM »Hi.
Any news on this?
I'm very interested on having rockbox working on my android 13 device.
I have an old android 2.3.6 and another 4.0.4, but it would be awesome if I can use it in newer android versions as main music player.
Thanks!

Hardware / Re: New cheap portable player in the market
« Last post by osaka on May 18, 2023, 06:32:50 AM »The remaining unknown is the Shenju Jointbees chip, but I'm pretty sure it's an Actions clone. It has the same form factor, and their site does list a similar chip with only 216 Kb RAMThe firmware for the chip is definitely different from Actions. My player enters some kind of upgrade (boot ROM?) mode if VOL (down) is held on reset: enumerates as mass storage VID_301A&PID_2800 and seems to accept C0 00, C0 03..06 vendor-specific commands (only managed to get a CSW back yet); IsActionsFirmware (CC) stalls the endpoint instead.
The company itself seems closely tied to Zhuhai Smartlink Technology Co., Ltd. as they use their USB Vendor ID and website looks almost the same. There's front page excerpts for the datasheets in English in the News section but sadly no other new information. They boast OTA function for the TWS headphone chipsets, I'm currently trying to locate an app responsible to pull some firmware out maybe.
