Audio Playback, Database and Playlists / Crossfading failing on _some_ tracks
« Last post by bubuz0 on Today at 05:56:26 AM »Hello there,
The crossfading function of rockbox is amazing, and i rely on it heavily! <3
I noted that some tracks repeatedly fail at cross-fading though. It's true with "entering" crossfading, and "exiting" crossfading as well.
Made very rough tests:
- when track X seems concerned (because "entering" crossfade fails), ensure that its "exiting" crossfading fails as well.
- then move on to track Y (which "entering" crossfade failed, due to track X), and ensure that it's "exiting" crossfading is working well.
- move on to track X. "entering" crossfading works fine. move on to track Y to ensure that it's "entering" crossfading works as well, so track Y wasn't at fault here.
- go back to track X -> "entering" crossfading fails agan
=> so track X is the culprit somehow...
So far my solution has been to remove entirely those identified tracks from my automated, cross-faded playlists... But i'd like to know:
- is there a way to detect those concerned tracks automatically?
- is there a way to "fix" them so crossfading would start working on them again?
Thanks!

Rockbox General Discussion / AIGO EROS Q / K Native, Grey screen with new build
« Last post by GreatLove on Today at 05:05:38 AM »When i update to the latest build on my AIGO EROS Q / K (Native i get grey screen. But an very old build from 2024-04 something is the only one that works. No other (old build) is working, all the old builds that i can download is from 2025 something. I need older versions to see what after 2024-04 works, but i cant find them. Why do i get grey screen with the newer builds?
I also have issue with some tracks not playing and they are being skipped even though they worked before, when i replace the file with the same song it works for a time to later not work again. And some songs makes the whole rockbox stall so i have to restart rockbox. but when i replace those exact songs with the same song it works again. Thats why i want to try newer rockbox builds and see if that fixes the problem

Hardware / Re: HiBy R1
« Last post by 7o9 on Today at 04:01:15 AM »I had a look at the Tempotec Variations V1 dump files that kae0 provided and it looks a lot like the firmware of the Hiby R1, or the generic HiBy x1600 platform.
Unfortunately I cannot explain how this device uses ALSA or why it gives this output in amixer.
I searched for the string 'DOP_EN' from kae0's amixer output and the only places I found a match is module_driver/x1600_tempotec_v1_sound_card.ko and usr/bin/hiby_player. Not in any config files that I could copy or replicate on the R1.

Rockbox General Discussion / Re: Dev builds release notes
« Last post by iPodVT on July 16, 2025, 11:42:46 PM »Sorry if I overlooked something, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there are release notes for dev builds.
Something that states what changes have been made to current dev build, for example to let user know if new features have been added, to know what to look for when testing out the dev build.

Rockbox General Discussion / Re: Dev builds release notes
« Last post by Frankenpod on July 16, 2025, 11:24:52 PM »Maybe there's a better way, but I occasionally check the "patches" link (just over there, to the left) and then select "changes"->"merged" patches, which shows what recent changes have been merged into the current dev version.
[Admittedly, sometimes the descriptions of those patches aren't hugely informative!]
Or just go to the front page (click the rockbox logo) and scroll down to 'code changes'.

If nothing like this exists, then if possible could someone maybe share some information about the best way/page to view to look through changes recently made.
Thank You

Rockbox Utility / Can't load rockbox.ipod after installing 6th gen firmware.
« Last post by kwjorders on July 16, 2025, 11:08:16 PM »Hello, I have a 7th gen iPod classic that after installing the firmware 4.0 with the rockbox utility it will function for a while then when I turn it on and get the following "Error! Can't load rockbox.ipod: File not found". Last time I installed the firmware I checked the .rockbox folder and everything was there, I also uninstalled the firmware first. When I have it in iPod mode the .rockbox folder has a single file that is blank called RRaA. Is there anything that can be done to fix this. The bootloader seems to be working and I have uninstalled/reinstall the firmware already but it keep reverting to missing the firmware after some time. I am hesitant to restore with iTunes and load everything from scratch as I am worried it will be bricked.

Hardware / Re: HiBy R1
« Last post by Milardo on July 16, 2025, 09:16:06 PM »In firmware/export/config/hibyr1.h I have set HAVE_DUMMY_CODEC.
If you enable HAVE_HIBY_R1_LINUX_CODEC instead, you would have to implement firmware/drivers/audio/hibylinux_codec.c.
However, ALSA shows no devices when you run ‘amixer’ or ‘amixer contents’ like described here for the AGPtEK Rocker device: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/AgptekRocker.html
This part seems to be different in this ‘X1600E’ generation of HibyOS.
Does the amixer information from kae0 help in any way?

« Last post by dconrad on July 15, 2025, 01:56:33 PM »That all seems to check out OK. Thanks for the flash dump!
This seems conclusive enough to me - I'll mark it as hw4 in the wiki.
It seems like lately there has not been much word from HifiWalker on update files or change notes when they release a new firmware version, so I bet we'll never know what is different in this version. Bummer.
