New Ports / Re: Echo R1 - new STM32-based open hardware player
« Last post by bigpilot on April 26, 2025, 04:45:13 AM »Really neat project! I just purchased a Chinese music player and although the hardware is decent the software sucks and I can't find an update anywhere. That's why I'm very interested in an open-source player.

Theming and Appearance Customization / Re: Wrapping a long title
« Last post by gnomacor on April 25, 2025, 06:51:59 PM »It kind of doesn't matter if it's variable width or not - you can slice it up regardless with a sensible number. You can check out wavy theme and it turns this up to 11: each and every letters are sliced positioned letter by letter. As Dook said there is no better way as of now.

Rockbox Utility / Re: Upgrading to latest fw on iPod 5.5 broke rockbox loading
« Last post by speachy on April 25, 2025, 03:31:53 PM »Code: [Select]Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdd1 63 48194 48132 94M 0 Empty
/dev/sdd2 48195 1001390078 1001341884 1.9T b W95 FAT32
This should be type 'c' (ie FAT32 LBA). type 'b' is supposed to only be used for (max 24-bit!) CHS-based addressing (which nonsensical for a ~2TB partition)
There's nothing in rockbox that specifically checks for type 'c', so I expect something is being set up differently in the filesystem itself.
I don't expect simply changing it to matter without reformatting afterwards (as rockbox tries to mount it regardless of the type) but you're welcome to try.

I can reformat if needed - but I'd prefer not to obviously, just takes a long time to re-load and I use this daily. Also - I was going to give you a picture of the latest dev build (4/25 build) screen too, but it looked the same as the other screen.

Hardware / Re: HifiWalker H2 - how to set date/time?
« Last post by Doghouse Reilly on April 25, 2025, 02:33:53 PM »Another maybe issue in the H2 (and clones) manual -
Manual installation starts with
Installing the firmware
1.Download your chosen version of Rockbox from the links in the previous section.
2.Connect your player to the computer via USB as described in the manual that came with your player.
3.Take the .zip file that you downloaded and use the “Extract all” command of your unzip program to extract the files onto your player.
Note: The entire contents of the .zip file should be extracted directly to the root of your player’s drive.
Perhaps it should note that the player itself (at least mine) has no internal memory and that the zip flie should be extracted to the root of the SDXC card on which you want to install Rockbox.

Hardware / Re: HifiWalker H2 - how to set date/time?
« Last post by iPodVT on April 25, 2025, 08:33:27 AM »The date time settings work the same way as I am accustomed to with Rockbox on other players, except when I want to lock in the change.
It asks me "ON to set/OFF to cancel". AFAIK the only ON/OFF button is the power button on the top, and no matter how I massage that button all it does is turn the player off....when I turn it on the time setting is unchanged.
With the ipodvideo and ipod6g there is a somewhat similar misstatement re a cancel button when Rockbox is building a lengthy playlist in response to the Playing Next... >> Play context menu items. It states "(PLAY/PAUSE to abort)" but it's actually only the BACK/RWD button that will trigger an abort. This is a longstanding condition and I think there are other situations where it also happens, though I can't remember what they are at the moment.

Hardware / Re: HifiWalker H2 - how to set date/time?
« Last post by dconrad on April 25, 2025, 08:21:09 AM »It's actually worse. I've started to fix up all of the translations for the erosq and discovered that the some of them don't reference the same buttons as English..
I committed these changes last night, but only for the erosq. the hdd16xx/63xx will need the new string translated and I'm trying to avoid that in case we roll a 4.0.1 soonish.
Thanks for doing that
