New Ports / Re: AIGO EROS Q / AIGO EROS K / IRULU Surfans F20 / AGPTek H3 / HIFI WALKER H2
« Last post by mrsubway on March 30, 2023, 06:22:56 PM »Having two new issues and I'm not sure if I should do a fresh install. I upgrade to the latest nightly hosted every few days.
Recently, if I plug in my player, either to charge it or transfer data, and then I unplug it, it no longer goes back to where I left off, but to the beginning of the directory. I have to make a bookmark before plugging it in or I'll lose my place.
Also, if I try to initialize the database, the player freezes up.
I'll try a fresh install.
Edit: Okay. I've tinkered a bit more. Exact symptoms.
1. Initialize database. I never should have done it.
2. Stays stuck on 0, but does finish after a few minutes and asks to reboot.
3. Says it's getting the database ready, counts up to ten, now playing screen, brick. Hard reset with power button. Brick.
4. Easy fix. Connect to computer, delete all database files. IT'S ALIVE.
5. But, from now on, if I connect to PC or charge it, (I'm aware it thinks it's connected to a PC even while charging,) it will not remember my place. It will return to the beginning of the first file in the directory I was listening to. It also says in system that the database is initialized.
I've never used the database. I just directory browse, and hit it by accident. Can I uninitialize it without reinstalling Rockbox? I have my settings just right. 🙂

I contacted the aliexpress seller asking them all the information they can give me about the mp3 player, they previously sent me the video converter for the player (that I didnt found it anywhere in internet), so if they give me news, I'll post it here.
If you or another reader of this thread buy a mp3 player I recommend too to ask all the information available to the seller and post it here.

Audio Playback, Database and Playlists / Re: Curious Playlist Behavior
« Last post by iPodVT on March 29, 2023, 08:18:27 AM »What you're seeing is due to this check which is supposed to be a workaround for buggy playlist creation tools. It strips directories from the beginning of the path until it finds an existing file. That's why it ignored the subfolder the tracks were supposed to be in, and found them in the root instead.
But this fixup doesn't get applied in all cases, depending on how the code accesses the playlist; eg. it works for playback but it doesn't work in other cases. I guess the track info screen is one of them.
Cool. Thanks very much for the explanation.

Hardware / Re: New cheap portable player in the market
« Last post by pmp4 on March 29, 2023, 07:24:58 AM »thank you for trying pmp4! i have bookmarked this thread, ill keep my eye on it if you guys find a good player to rockbox! that would be super kewl! any idea how long each of these no brand players are manufactured then discontinued? if they only make them for 1 year then its almost like none of these would make good players to rockbox! thanks
In Spreadtrum players you can see the date of the firmware if you dump the flash (see the posts of this thread, in the file kern.bin), and my players firmwares were not more old than 1 year from the firmware date until the buy date.
Anyway, it's a good news if it appears new and cheapers players.
A 2.4 inch touchscreen player for $12 was unthinkable just a few years ago.
do you think it means we are getting closer to having a cheap player that would make a great rockbox device? sooner or later it will become powerful enough with enough ram that its a perfect device for rockbox?
I dont know it yet, I dont know the processor/ram specs of this 2.4 inch player.
But screen is great, and sound is ok (Spreadtrum DAC is crappy, the DAC of the 1.77 inch player of the start of this thread).
A couple of years ago and still today, a Ruizu player of this features of 2.4inch touchscreen had a price of 30 - 50 USD. Like the Ruizu M17 http://www.ruizutek.com/m17_81236.html
This 2.4 inch player cost is $12 and it does almost the same things, so that is good news.
I think price is important to make mp3 players popular again, if you can't achieve a good player for less than $50, then people always will choose a second cheap smartphone as mp3 player instead a mp3 player.
