Audio Playback, Database and Playlists / Re: Trying to play tracks crashes with current dev build on iPod mini 2nd Gen
« Last post by iPodVT on February 11, 2025, 11:12:45 PM »I tried a mini2g with a mechanical HDD (albeit a 5GB HDD from a scavenged/canabilized Dell Pocket DJ) and had the same results as with the others: runs fine on older dev build but freezes with 1ea5d57303 when trying to play or navigate the File Browser.
That was with a clean install of 1ea5d57303.

« Last post by iPodVT on February 11, 2025, 02:03:12 PM »FWIW as I type this I'm listening to music on a mini2g running last night's build (1ea5d57303).
It's a selection of Opus, WMA, AAC, FLAC, and MP3 that I use for basic smoke tests.
Does your mini2g have an HDD for storage? If not, what flavor of flash?

« Last post by iPodVT on February 11, 2025, 12:14:12 PM »Now I have tried a clean install of 1ea5d57303 on the same iPod mini 2nd Gen and it froze again when I tried to play a track. Then I tried a clean install of 1ea5d57303 on a different iPod mini 2nd Gen with a 4GB SanDisk CF Card and it also froze when I tried to play a track. Both iPods had plenty of free/available disk space.
Please let me know if there is anything else you would like me to try.
Thanks.

Apple - Installation/Removal / Re: ipod 5.5 rockbox bootloader screen
« Last post by makeprop on February 11, 2025, 11:56:24 AM »Ok so in working through: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodManualRestore.html
I'm running into system issues of not being able to use mformat properly. (it keeps complaining about argsize > 6)
And when using mkfs.vfat forcing it to set 2048 byte sector size it doesn't like being rockboxed (i run into the same error as above). Currently trying to get a newfs_msdos iteration working.

« Last post by iPodVT on February 11, 2025, 10:37:21 AM »Thanks a lot for your reply - I really appreciate it.
Earlier this morning, when I saw that the new 1ea5d57303 dev build had been posted and was reported to have fixed a crashing bug, I used Rockbox Utility to update from 95f4accf45 on my mini 2G with all of my configs etc. It froze when I tried to play a track, so I reverted back to 95f4accf45 and I just now finished playing the entire album that includes that track. But I should have tried a clean install of 1ea5d57303. I have to go out now for a bit but I will try a clean install when I return, as well as anything else you suggest/request. Meanwhile, there's no urgency on my part for this fix.
Again, thanks.

FWIW as I type this I'm listening to music on a mini2g running last night's build (1ea5d57303).
It's a selection of Opus, WMA, AAC, FLAC, and MP3 that I use for basic smoke tests.
Please give that build a whirl, and if it still goes boom try with a clean .rockbox directory before applying your settings/themes one by one.

« Last post by makeprop on February 11, 2025, 08:42:29 AM »I'm so sorry for wasting space on this forum - I just realised now the 2048 vs 512 byte sectorsn differnce when moving to the 5.5Gs. Will give that a crack now and see how I go.

Feature Ideas / Re: Rewind across tracks
« Last post by bahus on February 11, 2025, 04:55:56 AM »I've implemented it quite some time ago but forgot to properly announce it. So, if anyone still waits for it it's available in the latest daily build (and will be present in Rockbox 4.0 when released).
With setting Settings -> Playback Settings -> Rewind Across Tracks set to Yes:
1) Pressing Rewind within the first 3 seconds of the track will lead to rewind from the end of the previous track.
2) With Playback Settings -> Skip Length set to time interval instead of "Skip Track", pressing Prev button within the first 3 seconds of the track will lead to skipping length from the end of the previous track.

Immediate successor among the daily builds, that is.
