Theming and Appearance Customization / Re: OneBit / OneBit VFD

« Last post by Thermoptic on March 19, 2025, 08:21:10 PM »

Just love this theme, great work!

Testing the VFD version on my iPod Classic and iPod Video and noticed that the "current selected color" in the menus does not look like the one in the screenshots you have posted. In the screenshots the selected item has a white colored text and the rest of the text in the menus are grey. But as you can see in my photo there is no white color, instead its a grey background. Is there a bug in the theme or is it some setting I need to change? Thanks!

once you start it it enables playback logging, you don't need to run it again till you want to reap your log and export it then run the plugin and copy the .scrobbler.log file

Awesome, Thanks for the clarification.

Rockbox Utility / Re: New user installation help!!! (1st time user)

I too have a Mac running 10.14.6. I set up a Bootcamp installation of Windows 10 to install Rockbox on a 7th Gen iPod. The free Windows install was good enough for this.

1.5.1 requires macOS 10.15 or later, my current computer only goes 10.14.6. So the only one that I am able to get to work is 1.4.0. It's definitely a 7th Gen iPod Classic.

Hardware / Xduoo x20 pause problem

« Last post by tokariew on March 19, 2025, 03:06:16 PM »

I finally jumped from unofficial build of rockbox to official, and after a bit of testing, it seems that when pausing on rockbox software after around 30 seconds, player restart.
I factory reset the main software, i removed rockbox install, and clean install on fresh, without modyfing any settings, and rebooting on pause is persistent for me. is it a common issue?
On unofficial old port i didn't have such issues.

Edit:
It seems that this is present for flac/opus files. For mp3 files it seems to work fine.

Hey Folks,

Just wanted to start a thread in case anyone had any suggestions or bug reports for the theme I launched this week called OneBit.

https://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?themeid=3631&target=ipod6g



This is my first theme and first "coding" project so there are bound to be bugs here and there.

Let me know what you find and what can be improved upon!

I don't really know anything about installing RB with a Mac, but using RB Utility 1.4.0 doesn't sound right.  Current RBU release is 1.5.1, I thought?  Not sure earlier releases even support the 7th gen (do you mean 7.0 gen 120GB model or 7.5 gen 160GB slim model, btw?)

Rockbox Utility / New user installation help!!! (1st time user)

« Last post by mike1978 on March 19, 2025, 01:29:23 PM »

I recently found out that in order to use my iPod without it crashing, I would need to use Rockbox to get it to work properly. I downloaded Utility 1.4.0 and tried to do the installation. I click on the install button and everything goes along just fine with no issues. I eject the iPod and try to restart it but it always goes to the original firmware. I can't get Rockbox to boot up.  I have looked and tried to find out how to get RockBox to boot up but the information is either wrong or just not helpful. I apologize in advance if this sounds like I'm being dumb about this but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing wrong. The bootloader selection is grayed out and says the selected player doesn't need a boot loader. I am currently using an iPod Classic (7th Gen). I am also running macOS Mojave version 10.14.6


Please help me


Thanks mike1978

Hi there guys, I was able to upgrade the zif hdd to a compact flash (64Gb)!
It does work with the official firmware after formatting it to a primary partition without issues, and the extra GB are recognized!
I wanted to install rockbox again, but the daily and the stable version do not work, it launches but prompt a error with (partition not found warning)

Any help?
