Feature Ideas / Backlight fade in/out on iPod Classic (6/7 gen)
« Last post by Hickypop on Today at 09:20:40 AM »I'd like to ask if it's possible to add the backlight fade in and out options available in the iPod 5th gen and Nanos to the Classic (6/7th gen). It's a little thing but one of my favorite features when listening in the dark and the backlight doesn't blast your dark adjusted eyes.
Thank you
Thank you

Rockbox General Discussion / Re: iRiver H300 OTG support: do we want this?
« Last post by mr_2022 on January 30, 2023, 07:44:48 PM »Hey braewoods,
actually I appreciate your work on the bootloader v8 for iRiver H1xx and H3xx Players and at the moment I have multiple H3XX on my desk in different conditions.
A use case would certainly be to sync (I mean copy) rockbox config files from one H3xx to another H3xx to have both players setup identically for testing.
Another use case I can think of would be to share other small data between H3xx users like PGP encryption keys for email (or is this going to be outdated with the advent of Messengers?). And following the idea, it might serve even as a TOTP generator together with an USB key (for 2FA cases). I don't know which other requirements have to be met to act as TOTP generator...?

Rockbox General Discussion / Re: new iRiver H100, H120, H300 V8 bootloaders released
« Last post by mr_2022 on January 30, 2023, 11:51:37 AM »I wonder if the internal storage has issues now. In any case the V8 bootloader should work. I recall it having a USB mode when first plugged in from being off. In the event a rockbox ROM / RAM image has been flashed it should also produce a boot menu.
So I just thought okay let's flash the damn ROM and RAM and yes it is a boot menu being produced upon HOLD on and Play power up.
- Surprisingly I can only boot to rockbox via the RAM image.
- Booting from ROM produces the message: "Executing Command ..." and then nothing happens. It needs a reset buttons push to be booted again.
- Booting from DISK produces the message: "I0B: Line-F at 003F548C" and then nothing furhter happens. It needs a reset buttons push to be booted again.
- Booting with HOLD off results in a blank screen, however I can hear the HDD spinning. It needs a reset buttons push to be booted again.
So I hope the Error-Code contains some information to tackle the problem?

for my H120 and H140 devices I have flashed the bootloader v8 and also ROM and RAM and everthing works flawlessly with CF/SD Mod and also old HDD and Kingston 64GB SSD.
But my H320 and H340 do have problems when booting with bootloader v8 was flashed. I have the same issues like benH320 posted earlier in this thread. Which is upon Play button press the HDD spins up, but no screen is coming on and the player can only be recovered (to boot to original iRiver firmware) by a reset with either USB or DC charger being connected. If've had this problem with both 1.29EU and 1.28EU Version of the original iRiver Firmware and the latest dev-build (i.e. today) from the Rockbox-Utility (Windows).
However, when HOLD was on, I saw the bootloader v8 Message on lit display that HOLD switch is on and the player shutdown.
As a partial workaround for my H320 I found that the following method worked once:
This worked for me one day and then fixed the problem until I charged (DC plug) the H320 (original iRiver Charging Screen was shown). Then the player had the same issues like before and the above described workaround did not work anymore.
I did not dare to flash ROM or RAM on my H320 to get rid of the original iRiver firmware because I have a bad feeling about the bootloader v8 not working properly...
I also tried the following
Any ideas what could be the problem of not booting after v8 bootlader was flashed from iRiver firmware?

As a partial workaround for my H320 I found that the following method worked once:
- Put HOLD on
- Press Play button to start the player
- Just the moment when the screen comes on switch the HOLD to off (it needs some practice to time it right)
- The screen comes on and shows the bootloader 8 start message
- Rockbox boot loader
- Version 8
- Batt: 4.10 V
- Loading ...
- If the HOLD switch timing was right, then the rockbox firmware is loaded from HDD or CF/SD card
This worked for me one day and then fixed the problem until I charged (DC plug) the H320 (original iRiver Charging Screen was shown). Then the player had the same issues like before and the above described workaround did not work anymore.

I also tried the following
- startup of rockbox with bootloader v5
- iriver_flash of bootloader v8
Any ideas what could be the problem of not booting after v8 bootlader was flashed from iRiver firmware?

« Last post by dconrad on January 29, 2023, 08:31:12 AM »I've tried again this time double checking I'm in AC mode with the multimeter and it gives me a 1.11 reading while contacting the left and right channel ends of an aux/headphone cable plugged to the Line Out with the audacity provided 100 Hz WAV playing.
I plugged this into a formula I found online (hopefully correct)
20 x log 10(1.11/1) = dBV = 22.2
Hoping this is the desired reading.
That makes much more sense, thanks! Though for 1.11 volts I'm getting 0.9 dBV (+2 for "0dB": 2.9 dBV). Significantly less than I was expecting, which is definitely interesting. One last question, what do you have the Volume Limit setting set to?
