Repairing and Upgrading Rockbox Capable Players / Toshiba Gigabeat revival - system files needed
« Last post by MM on October 27, 2021, 12:57:14 AM »Hello fellow Roxboxers,
I’m attempting to fix the hard drive in a Toshiba Gigabeat F20 by replacing it with a CF card, using an adaptor, but according to this link https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CFModGuide I need to have the system files to copy onto the CF card. I wondered if anyone here would mind sharing them with me. I’m a newbie at this so may need some help with it. If anyone can also share with me the Gigabeat room software it would be much appreciated. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Rockbox General Discussion / iPod with ssd and Rockbox
« Last post by Den on October 25, 2021, 01:38:41 PM »Hi,
iPod 5gen with iFlash quad and Rockbox, my directory contains 7 folders, each with +/- 125 pcs,
Most of them in Flac or Wav.
in each folder I end up with 1 up to 5 pcs that are skipping, all the others play perfectly
I've tried to delete and reload the specifics pcs with the same result. creating a new folder
with only the skipping files give me the same result. Any ideas would be more than welcome

Plugins/Viewers / pictureflow problem - any suggestions for a fix/workaround?
« Last post by Frankenpod on October 25, 2021, 04:35:46 AM »I can't build the database for pictureflow, because it goes for ages then fails with an 'insufficient memory' error. The error is more specific than that, it refers to a particular kind of memory, but without spending ages letting it run again I can't remember what the exact error message was, sorry.
I presume it's because this is a flash modded ipod and has a lot of tracks (> 10,000) so a lot of cover art.
Alternatively, possibly it's to do with the usual problem with writing to the drive on flash-modded ipods...but my impression is that has gotten a lot better with later dev versions (this was using a very recent dev version, i.e. within the last couple of weeks...it seems more recent versions are more stable than RB used to be when it comes to building the database on modded ipods, for example, so I'm wondering if now the problem with pictureflow is simply what it says it is - too much cover art for the allocated memory?).
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to work around this?
I might try a test with an iFlash ipod with not many tracks on it, to check if it really is just a matter of too much cover art for the plug-in to cope with.

« Last post by chris_s on October 23, 2021, 06:39:41 AM »awesome – one additional change that I had forgotten might be useful and would also enhance consistency, is to be able to directly return to the main menu from the browser using long-press on the menu button (just like you can from the WPS), specifically when you're at the leftmost scroll position and aren't already in the process of performing a horizontal scroll action. That would require this line to be added to button_context_tree_scroll_lr:Really amazing job, amachronic! As for the discussion about keymaps (@cereal_killer and @diegopau), here's what works well for me. My main expectations/requirements were (iirc):
- Be able to stop playback by long pressing the power button from anywhere
- Get back to WPS by pressing Play/Pause
- Be able to scroll menus to the left/right to quickly see longer text strings that get cut off (not supported by the current keymap)
- See current playlist from WPS with single button press
- And be able to change volume by touch
- Return to browser from WPS with single button press
- Consistent activation of context menu in WPS/tree context
I left the Repeat-AB-Start/End button mapping and pretty much everything else unchanged at the moment. If anyone's interested in seeing the keymap, I can put it up on Gerrit. It only requires pretty minor adjustments compared to the current one though..
Your keymap looks pretty good to me, it's a bit more polished and thoughtful than what I spewed out. (Nice graphics, by the way!) I'll play with it a bit more over the weekend, but in all likelihood I'll merge it.
Code: [Select]
{ ACTION_TREE_ROOT_INIT, BUTTON_LEFT|BUTTON_REPEAT, BUTTON_LEFT }but also needs line 757 in apps/gui/list.c to be changed to:
Code: [Select]
*actionptr = ACTION_STD_MENU;My understanding is such that the latter should be changed anyway to make the code work like it is described in the comment above it (since only the menu action seems to skip to root), but I could be wrong.

« Last post by chris_s on October 22, 2021, 01:45:45 PM »You may want to also enable the "Screen Scrolls Out of View" option to truly take advantage of horizontal scrolling by long-pressing on the buttons in the upper corners. While it feels pretty weird at first, the ability soon becomes indispensable, in my experience at least.
