Hardware / Re: AIGO EROS Q / AIGO EROS K / IRULU Surfans F20 / AGPTek H3 / HIFI WALKER H2
« Last post by GD on January 15, 2025, 06:04:53 PM »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!

Feature Ideas / Re: Keep custom audio speed setting during shutdown/reboot
« Last post by bahus on January 15, 2025, 04:30:46 PM »There is an old patch available for this issue: https://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/11619.
This patch is integrated into Poretsky's build (though it is not frequently updated): https://poretsky.github.io/rockbox/.
This plugin thing doesn't look to be very convenient for this scenario. You need to remember to set the pitch a second time via the Open Plugin every time you change it. And setting it up is not a straightforward process and requires more than just a few clicks.

first go to settings>General Settings>Startup/Shutdown>Start Screen>Open Plugin
choose Viewers/pitch_screen.rock
now go to Apps/Open Plugins
under Start Screen you should see [pitch_screen.rock]
long press on the entry and choose 'Edit' from the context menu (choose No to browse)
EDIT After today:
choose Yes when asked to set parameter and No when asked to browse for a plugin
under parameter you can use these options
after saving it you can select the entry again and run it to see if it does what you want
now on startup the pitch will be set
PS. working on a patch to allow you to add a parameter for viewers without going to the plugin
first go to settings>General Settings>Startup/Shutdown>Start Screen>Open Plugin
choose Viewers/pitch_screen.rock

choose Yes when asked to set parameter and No when asked to browse for a plugin
under parameter you can use these options
Code: [Select]
/* pitch_screen
* accepts args -q, -g, -p=, -s=, -k=; (= sign is optional)
* -q silences output splash
* -g runs the gui (DEFAULT)
* -p100 would set pitch to 100%
* -s=90 sets speed to 90% if timestrech is enabled
* -k=true -k1 enables time stretch -k0 -kf-kn disables
so '-q -p70 -s90' would hide the splash set pitch to 70% and speed to 90'now on startup the pitch will be set

Feature Ideas / Re: Exclude a directory from bookmarking
« Last post by Bilgus on January 14, 2025, 11:20:36 PM »I think this is a pretty good take on it..

The manual reads:

You can also configure what directories will save bookmarks by creating a file named
’bookmark.ignore’ in a directory you would like to never create a bookmark when files
are played from it.
Note: You can still manually create a bookmark but ignored directories will not update
existing bookmarks nor auto create them for files located in ignored directories.
The file ’bookmark.unignore’ provides the opposite functionality. For instance in the
root of the drive you could create ’/bookmark.ignore’ and no files played from this drive
would get bookmarks. If you then created ’/podcasts/bookmark.unignore’ tracks played
from the podcast directory would get bookmarks.

It now works perfectly fine with no issues that I could find. All because I used a 256GB Samsung Pro Plus sd card, and not a Sandisc card. Didn't need to use a different adapter or anything. Thank you iPodVT and others for the help.

« Last post by Bilgus on January 14, 2025, 06:57:39 PM »actually maybe a better mechanism is having a file 'bookmark.ignore' then you can easily exclude a directory
let me throw something together

« Last post by rockbox_dev123 on January 14, 2025, 06:44:08 PM »I used splashf to print all of the relevant strings in the simulator and sanity check myself.
get_wps_state()->id3->path does indeed return the path to the file being played and not the playlist file.
I think I fixed the issues I was seeing by explicitly checking the return code from strncmp and also by changing the default exclude dir to include a trailing slash.

Repairing and Upgrading Rockbox Capable Players / Re: Audio Capacitor Bypass (the DiyMod)
« Last post by saratoga on January 14, 2025, 08:57:17 AM »The older ipods had small dc blocking caps, so if you used low impedance headphones you'd lose some of the bass. If you're in that situation, upgrading the caps will improve the low frequency output. If you're using high impedance it won't make much difference.
A lot of the other mods out there are nonsense though. Not sure which one you're asking about.
