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 01:44:30 PM »Great news, I recently updated to the newest builds for the H2 player. I had some trouble updating because I kept getting a white screen on boot and updated the native bootloader several times. After using the JZtool method I was able to boot rockbox and everything seems stable. I haven't had any freezes and hangs over the past two days which is unusually good.
Thanks
Thanks

« Last post by dconrad on Today at 09:25:28 AM »Hello everyone, does someone know where I can find the latest stock OS that can be installed in an originally stock V1.8 firmware HiFi Walker? I believe version 2.0 has been released, but the HiFi Walker facebook page doesn't include it. Mine came with 1.8 and I never updated it. Thanks!
If you reference this chart: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/AIGOErosQK#Hosted_Port_Installation_40Manual_41, your player already has the latest known original firmware for a hardware 3 player, so I don't believe you can upgrade.

« Last post by dconrad on Today at 09:23:48 AM »I am attempting to install the hosted port on a HW3 version of this player. The link to prepatched V2.1 firmware gives a 404 error. I attempted to use Rockbox utility and the V2.1 firmware but the utility closes when I open the files.
Give it another try now, there was a typo in the filename of the file on the download server.

Audio Playback, Database and Playlists / Re: multi genre tags?
« Last post by Bilgus on January 19, 2025, 08:51:54 PM »I took a look into metadata.h and our id3tags.c implementation and the main thing making it hard is that you don't have any indication of the size of the entry otherwise.
So I think what you could do is once the items are filled look at the next variable in the id3 struct 'disc_string' and decide if there is a longer NULL'\0' separated string hiding in 'genre_string'

Audio Playback, Database and Playlists / multi genre tags?
« Last post by tizxv22 on January 19, 2025, 01:48:30 PM »Hi, I want to tag my files with multiple genres. Currently I'm using mp3tag with "//" as a separator. My player (hifiwalker h2) recognizes the genres as separate, but only files the song under the first tag (e.g. if I was using "," as a separator for "pop, dance" , I was getting "pop,dance" but with "//" as a separator for "pop//dance" I'm only getting "pop").
Searching through the forums, it seems like the latest post in 2018 said Rockbox doesn't support this and it would be very difficult to implement. I also found this https://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,27170.msg177622.html#msg177622 workaround. Are these two still up-to-date? Are there newer ways to get multi tags?

Plugins/Viewers / Re: Last Fm logging Scrobbler
« Last post by Bilgus on January 19, 2025, 10:21:46 AM »Sorry?
The previous version was a TSR plugin that you had to remember to run
I think remembering to export before track removal is probably less problematic
The main issue I have with scrobbler in core is the amount of data
you have to write to the buffer (and to disk) during playback
With this method devices without a spinning harddisk can just write directly to the disk
they don't need a big buffer to do it quickly enough and it doesn't consume so much core RAM even for the spinning disk devices
because we have a set limit on the amount of data and can have a sensible buffer that is able to hold at least 10 tracks it should also result in less battery used
Not that you aren't still doing the processing anyway but it can be deferred till charging is close at hand..

Usability got worse, in my opinion.
1) One more action to export;
2) Listened files must be accessible during export; no metadata in .scrobbler.log otherwise

I'm pretty happy with it and I think should match what we discussed
