Post by: renegadeviking on March 22, 2007, 03:06:32 PM

On my Archos Jukebox 20, Vorbis won't play back and I got to the ogg file. What folder do i install the decoder where where is the decoder?

Archoses cannot play back any of the additional Rockbox formats. It's a hardware limitation. You're basically limited to MP3.  In the future it's possible that they will be able to play back WAV files, but they cannot yet.

Just a clarification, Llorean means play back WAV files as part of the core.  The Archoses can already play back WAV through the use of a viewer.

That's for the software codec targets. Players with a much faster processor than the Archos, and no hardware for decoding music. They're much more flexible in terms of formats that can be played back.

For the official firmware, can't you replace the mp3 decoder /w a vorbis decoder?

The Archos devices Rockbox supports use a special chip to decode MP3. Their main processors are not fast enough to decode Vorbis.

Seriously, I'm not lying to you: Rockbox cannot play Vorbis on the supported Archos devices.
