Audio Playback, Database and Playlists / Re: Playlist is playing in random order since updating microSD card on Sansa ClipZip
« Last post by bahus on September 13, 2023, 02:10:25 PM »Just tested latest 20230913 dev build using Sansa Clip Zip simulator. And I can confirm that something is terribly broken with settings handling.
I started without config.cfg file. But shuffle was ON for some reasons. Attempt to switch Shuffle to ON/OFF and also changing Repeat to All lead to some garbage added in config.cfg.new file:
shuffle: ïŸÞïŸÞïŸÞïŸÞïŸÞ·È A
repeat: 3034113
playback frequency: 256
follow playlist: on
warn when erasing dynamic playlist: off
keep current track when replacing playlist: off
start in screen: previous
qs top: -
qs left: shuffle
qs right: repeat
qs bottom: -
The only settings I explicitly modified 1) follow playlist, 2) shuffle and 3) repeat. Not sure why other settings were added.
And attempt to open Quickscreen gives me Segmentation Fault.

« Last post by rockbox_dev123 on September 13, 2023, 10:30:56 AM »I had this bug as well, I thought I had broken something in my fork, but I can confirm that this was fixed on 2023-07-12 (the last time I compiled my own build). In reality, it was definitely fixed earlier than this, I just can't remember the relevant commits.

« Last post by Carlo on September 13, 2023, 10:23:57 AM »I have the same issue: even if I'm positive shuffle is disabled, Rockbox doesn't follow the alphabetical order of the files in a given directory anymore and plays them in a random order. The issue happens with both the internal memory and a SD card.
I went back to my usual last good bug-free Rockbox build (the 12 january one). It really saddens me to see all those playlist bugs crop up every time its code is modified. Rockbox used to be rock solid (pun intended), nowadays I stopped updating my devices as I don't trust new dev builds anymore. I'm grateful to the devs for all their hard work, however for one reason or another such glaring bugs have been slipping through their testing.

Theming and Appearance Customization / Re: Help installing convttf
« Last post by Dook on September 13, 2023, 06:41:22 AM »By the looks of it, you haven't set a size.
For example, to make a size 16 font, you'd do it like this. Your font should end up with a name like "16-FreeSansBold.font"

I was able to make convttf.
However, when I try to run a conversion, this is what I get:
Please wait, converting /home/yitzi/Downloads/FreeSansBold.ttf:
Writing 0-FreeSansBold.fnt0%)
Segmentation fault

Rockbox Utility / Surfans F20 Installation Issues
« Last post by September1752 on September 11, 2023, 02:15:42 PM »Hello,
I would like some help with installing Rockbox via the Utility onto a Surfans F20 please.
I'm having trouble following others messages ([1] and [2]) in this forum so will list below the steps I have taken which I think should work, however when I click the Install button, the Utililty closes itself after I select the upt file.
Check SD Card is Fat32
Download RockboxUtility
download f20.v27-patched.upt file from https://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/surfans/
rename it to update.upt
copy to root of SD card
Run Rockbox Utility
Save Backup
Select Surfans F20 and drive
Click Install
Select update.upt
I also downloaded latest Zip from: https://download.rockbox.org/daily/aigoerosq/ and extracted to SD card which didn't seem to help.
Am I using the wrong file?
Thank you,
