Audio Playback, Database and Playlists / Re: Playing and browsing from the file browser has become sluggish on Clip+
« Last post by speachy on Today at 01:35:21 PM »There are several folks who use this as their daily driver with no issues, so we're going to need way to semi-reliably reproduce the problem you're seeing if there's any hope of intentionally addressing it.
Eg, does it happen with the latest build, stock theme, and default configuration? If not, then which setting change leads to this? Does the specific file(s) matter? Has the storage device been checked for errors? etc etc.

Audio Playback, Database and Playlists / Re: Playing and browsing from the file browser has become sluggish on Clip+
« Last post by rdtyphn on Today at 09:20:46 AM »Any updates on this from the devs? I've been updating my Hifiwalker H2 regularly with the latest build and still have been running into these crashes.
To recap for the past year or two at times there is display corruption and player slowdown with the disk access icon constantly spinning up and eventual hanging of the player on the native port. It seems related to browsing file directories. The error says "exception" TLB refill and about four lines of numbers.
Thanks

Hardware / Re: Issues with installing iPod mini v2 2005 128gb
« Last post by sweebiegeebie on September 17, 2024, 06:12:59 PM »I have followed the guide for Mac (I don't have access to a windows) at https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodConversionToFAT32.html. I don't think it managed to do anything. I copied the commands into an editor, and with terminal, tried to run the command on the .bin file then run the command that was supposed to attach that bin file to the disk image of my ipodmini, in this case, disk4. When I ran the whole command together it looked like: 'dd if=mbr-mini2g-4gb.bin of=/dev/disk4'. I don't know what to expect it to do when it worked but the eject command did not work. when I ejected the iPod in finder it remounted the disk. I am not sure that it was supposed to do that. Is this command supposed to factory reset what is currently synced to the iPod? Does it just mount a bin file to the disk that primes it to be used in the rockbox easy installer?
here is my terminal session:
user@users-imac downloads % dd if=mbr-mini2g-4gb.bin of=/dev/diskN
dd: /dev/diskN: Operation not permitted
user@users-imac downloads % dd if=mbr-mini2g-4gb.bin of=/dev/diskN
dd: /dev/diskN: Operation not permitted
user@users-imac downloads % dd if=mbr-mini2g-4gb.bin of=/dev/iPod
dd: /dev/iPod: Operation not permitted
user@users-imac downloads % dd if=mbr-mini2g-4gb.bin of=/dev/disk4
dd: /dev/disk4: Permission denied
user@users-imac downloads % eject /dev/disk4
zsh: command not found: eject
user downloads %
Hope this finds help well.

Hardware / Archos Jukebox 6000 HDD Repalcement with MicroSD - Success !
« Last post by asper on September 16, 2024, 02:37:16 AM »Old and unsupported device but this can be useful if your HDD fails.
I managed to replace the original HDD with this IDE emulator using MicroSD:
Installation utility won't recognize the device anymore but you can manual-install rockbox (maybe it is using some VID-PID that changes replacing the HDD ?).
The only issue is that, removing the original HDD, the torx screw won't work anymore because they go inside the original HDD screw-holes.
The original HDD was still working if connected to USB but the original fw won't load anymore. Replacing the HDD with the above adapter and a 16GB microSD makes everything in a working state again.
I used a virtual machine [VM Ware] with Windows XP for testing (drivers for Windows > XP seem to not exist).

New Ports / can anyone port the saregama caravaan go?
« Last post by arnav-dev-1001 on September 16, 2024, 01:21:13 AM »The saregama caravaan is an mp3 player that comes with "2500+ preloaded songs" provided by saregama. I think this is only for India. The model which i have is the 1000 model and i think there is also a 2000 one. i think there is a bootloader as the songs are stored in an sdcard inside when deassembled. Can it be rockboxed?

Audio Playback, Database and Playlists / Playlist Viewer - new Track Display options
« Last post by iPodVT on September 15, 2024, 06:43:44 PM »The two new Playlist Viewer Track Display options are really great! I propose that the two original settings - "Track Name Only" and "Full Path" - be slightly renamed for greater clarity and specificity in the new list of settings options. Here's what I suggest:
Track File name
Track File full path
Title & Album from ID3 tags
Title from ID3 tags
(I'm not confident re which words should be capitalized and which should be lowercase.)

User Interface and Voice / Re: Make playlists use the database info of a song instead of its file name
« Last post by nezzled on September 14, 2024, 10:43:56 PM »Am I correct in thinking the latest dev version has reimplemented this feature? It seems to be back (though I've gotten confused which version of rockbox I saw it on - it appeared and then was removed again, but now it's back?)Glad to see this got fully added.
Am I right in thinking it now gets the information directly from the ID3 tags on-the-fly rather than the database? Was the plan not to use cuesheets and extended playlist formats? Was it decided to do it this way instead?
Anyway, it doesn't seem to cause a significant slowdown in accessing playlists.
[edit] if it's now a permanent feature I guess the manual probably needs another update?
Ironically it was added just after I switched off iTunes again (for unrelated reasons)
Not sure how it works, but if it's less laggy than it's probably some other optimization that they found
