User Interface and Voice / UI Simulator access Rockbox files
« Last post by tizxv22 on Today at 05:39:22 PM »Hi, I recently installed the UISimulator for my own theme customization use, but I've found it useful to be able to play music stored on my device while connected to my laptop.
I'm not familiar with how the simulator works (I downloaded mine from https://marcrosoft.dk/rockbox/simulators/ linked on the wiki), but I noticed rockboxui.exe is outside the simdisk folder. If I wanted to store it in my mp3 player and access my files, how could I redirect it to understand that .rockbox and my folders/files are accessed from the same folder it's in?
To put it visually, the simulator is currently structured like:
.
├── simdisk
├── .rockbox
├── Music
└── Playlists
├── rockboxui.exe
└── UI256.bmp
and what I want is
.
├── .rockbox
├── Music
├── Playlists
├── rockboxui.exe
└── UI256.bmp

New Ports / Re: Dethonray dtr 1 plus
« Last post by speachy on Today at 11:10:36 AM »Cursory examination shows that this device appears to use an Ingenic MIPS jz47xx SoC, and is built on a truly ancient (~2008 !) linux base system.
Not bad for a device released in 2021... for about $1000, nearly double the price of its predecessor (the non-plus DTR1), also built on the same base system.
But assuming that Dethonray wants to assist in some way, the best thing they can do is to share the schematics for the device. The second best thing they can do is share the source code for the bootloader and linux kernel (including all device drivers) the device uses (Which they are supposed to be doing anyway as per Linux's GPL license terms). The third best thing would be to provide an SDK or something similar so that we can build rockbox to run on that base platform.
Their "UI code" is next to worthless for Rockbox's purposes, as we already have our own mechanisms for dealing with all of that.

New Ports / Dethonray dtr 1 plus
« Last post by Kostament2 on Today at 09:01:15 AM »Hello dear friend.
Is anybody can help to me create port rockbox for dethonray dtr 1 plus?
I have got contact engineer from dethonray he ready share UI part code into dtr1+.
Stock soft its ОС Ocelot GUI base on ОС Linux.
I think it will be very similar port because we have 5 button on front and power on right side its remind me Sansa clip.

Hardware / Re: AIGO EROS Q / AIGO EROS K / IRULU Surfans F20 / AGPTek H3 / HIFI WALKER H2
« Last post by mrsubway on February 17, 2025, 09:41:49 PM »Might I suggest putting the micro sd card in a reader when you need to transfer large amounts of data? That should be significantly faster I think.
I'll try that. Eventually though, we're going to hit a wall. FAT32 only supports up to 2TB partitions. Even with exFAT, you'd have to use GPT instead of MBR to get a partition over 2TB.

Audio Playback, Database and Playlists / Re: ipod Mini 2 with the latest RockBox does not play songs, or skips them
« Last post by speachy on February 17, 2025, 08:23:23 PM »1) My iPod Classic 7 on RockBox - 250127. But that's not what I meant, but the fact that I downloaded music in flac from it that works without problems.
So it works with an older build. This is more important than the device itself.
2) The music starts for a split second on the screen in the form of a player and returns immediately to the list, no sound is played in the headphones.
FYI, "no sound" means the music did NOT start.
The bottom line is that it skips some songs but can play the next one. Out of 10 songs, only 3 can work, and after switching between them, he writes that the playlist is over.
Do the same songs fail or play, or does a given song work sometimes but not other times?
However, I studied a neighboring topic where Mr. "iPodVT" wrote about a similar problem, and on his advice, I rolled back RockBox on iPod Mini 2 to version "20250208" and everything worked as It is necessary.
Please check the 20250209 build. If that succeeds, try subsequent builds until you find the one where the failures start. However if 20250209 fails, it is most likely due to a change to how embedded album art is extracted from FLAC files. We will need one of the failing files to diagnose this properly though.

Rockbox General Discussion / Re: Will Bluetooth Functionality Be Included in the Next Stable Version of Rockbox?
« Last post by speachy on February 17, 2025, 08:16:05 PM »I have a small Bluetooth speaker that clips onto my clothes and I’m looking for a convenient solution to listen to music throughout my house. I'm considering Rockbox and would like to know if Bluetooth support will be included in the next stable release. Would it be possible to seamlessly connect my Bluetooth speaker?
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: Some hosted targets have (quite crappy) bluetooth support in their stock firmware, but we'd have to write a _lot_ of custom code to interface with it, and the functionality we could get would be equally limited. For native targets with the necessary hardware, there are no bluetooth stacks with the necessary combination of functionality and compatible licensing, so we'd effectively have to build most of what we need nearly from scratch.
