Repairing and Upgrading Rockbox Capable Players / Re: best 2021 upgrade for Iriver iHP-120?
« Last post by braewoods on Today at 12:01:28 AM »Sorry didn't see your post until now. I would suggest first upgrading the bootloader to latest V8 one. I prepared it some time ago to resolve some issues with CF cards.
As for storage your best bet is probably an SD card to CF adapter as these are the cheapest way to get high storage capacity these days. I would suggest trying the iFlash SD to CF adapter and using one of the CF to 1.8" 50 pin adapters.

Feature Ideas / Re: Random track selection
« Last post by Bilgus on November 27, 2021, 10:15:16 PM »sorry I updated it once more it stopped working with a single track in one of the updates
anyway the idea is that it has a large range to pick at random and you can lessen that range at the ends or in the middle
selectivity is that range in the middle
2. the degree to which an electronic circuit or instrument can distinguish particular frequencies.
also consider the database file has a long range of positions that still end up with the same string
it is the whole file path of the track previous.
The code iterates to the next track which now has 5-260?
possible values that could match the random number
this is why it is or was prone to repeats and not so much the rand num generator being bad

I'm still bemused by the concept of more or less random, though!
Thanks very much, Bilgus.

« Last post by Bilgus on November 27, 2021, 07:27:18 PM »@Duceboia, philden thanks I had fun with it
here is what should be the final
unfortunately the plugins get the dynamic playlist buffer and no function is exposed to save it
but, you can go to the playlist catalog long press and view it there
I added warnings made repeat history smaller and configurable
added better descriptions
create /Playlists if it doesn't exist, make default the Playlists/random_playback.m3u8
it also buffers the database file a bit better hopefully thrashing it less

Plugins/Viewers / rockboy on ipod mini second gen?
« Last post by sammyx55 on November 27, 2021, 06:25:23 PM »Hi there! im super new to all this so apologies if I get anything wrong.
so I installed rockbox onto my iPod mini second gen and I noticed that I was unable to open gb or gbc games and I checked the folder it was supposed to be and it isn't there.
does this iPod not have access to the viewer? also I found a patch for rockboy on grayscale but am unsure how to use it.
any help would be appreciated!

Feature Ideas / Re: Random track selection
« Last post by philden on November 27, 2021, 03:49:25 PM »Thanks again!
This works much better than the first version. I tried more tests of that and found that selecting 500 random tracks from 59,000 never found anything from an artist beyond 'G' in the database, and the list was in alphabetical order.
The new version makes a nice random list and even selecting just 100 tracks goes through the database better. I do have two comments, though. Selecting 'yes' to play works fine. However, selecting 'no' doesn't offer the option to save the playlist. At least that is what I expected choosing 'no' to mean.
What does the value of 'selectivity' mean? My desire is for a totally random selection, should that have a high or low value?
A very minor point is that saving the playlist, while playing, via the context menu, offers the default path as the lua_scripts directory. It would be nice if this went to 'Playlists' instead.
Anyway, I'm very impressed, nice work!

Plugins/Viewers / Re: pictureflow problem - any suggestions for a fix/workaround?
« Last post by amachronic on November 27, 2021, 09:14:42 AM »"Not enough memory for album art cache" means the artist & album index is too big and there is not enough memory left over for buffering the cover images as they are loaded. You can look for the pictureflow_album.idx file (it'll be somewhere under the .rockbox folder) and see how big it is. The size of that file should be approximately how much RAM is being used for the index. If it's too big, that'd be the problem.
The size of your cover art shouldn't matter too much -- I think it's only read in small chunks and gets re-scaled on the fly.

« Last post by Bilgus on November 27, 2021, 02:26:20 AM »Ive cleaned it up made it possible to set num tracks and selectivity mind testing this one out?
let me know anything you don't like or get hung up on and i'll push it to main in the next few days
--Edit
added a min repeat buffer I noticed even with all that randomizing songs still bunched upped more than I could stand
I didn't add a setting for it but be aware it eats ram fast keeping arrays full of last played items

let me know anything you don't like or get hung up on and i'll push it to main in the next few days

added a min repeat buffer I noticed even with all that randomizing songs still bunched upped more than I could stand
I didn't add a setting for it but be aware it eats ram fast keeping arrays full of last played items
