Rockbox Utility / Re: Question about EQ on iPod Classic 5.5 Video - Dev build.

You can create or modify the equalizer presets in the .rockbox/eqs folder with the text editor of your choice.

I did this recently to port an EQ I was testing to rockbox:

Rockbox:

Code: [Select]

eq enabled: on
eq precut: 66
eq low shelf filter: 105, 7, 90
eq peak filter 1: 8983, 26, 44
eq peak filter 2: 54, 4, -54
eq peak filter 3: 1148, 23, -15
eq peak filter 4: 491, 12, 6
eq peak filter 6: 7451, 39, 20
eq peak filter 7: 4502, 60, -17
eq peak filter 8: 1937, 39, 9
eq high shelf filter: 10000, 7, -39

Qudelix:

Rockbox Utility / Question about EQ on iPod Classic 5.5 Video - Dev build.

« Last post by brushwolf on September 29, 2024, 09:45:13 AM »

Hello, all. I wanted to ask if there is a streamlined way to transfer our EQ .txt files to the iPod, or if we can dial in exact numbers with point decimals in between 0 and 5 values on the parametric EQ. From what I gather, we can't dial in the exact numbers or use our own presets.

Appreciate all the help, thank you.

Theming and Appearance Customization / Re: Bones Theme

« Last post by rockbox_dev123 on September 29, 2024, 09:28:05 AM »

Heyo! While I was using this I got really bothered that I can't see the battery level from the while playing screen so I tucked it in there. Loved how it looked on the hold screen so I just placed the percentage across from the track number on top.

Code: [Select]

#__Battery %
%Vl(mainDisplay,250,40,40,14,2)
%ar%bl%%[/code]

I gave this a go but unfortunately the y coordinate of 40 conflicts with the Shuffle indicator which is also at y position 40.

I hacked together a quick battery percentage indicator (without using the bar as I couldn't get the scaling right).

If you want to use it:
Rename the attached "bb2.bmp.txt" to "bb2.bmp" and put it in .rockbox/wps/BONES/.

Add the following lines to the Main Display section wps file:

Code: [Select]

#__Battery Bar
%Vl(mainDisplay,240,21,75,11,-)
%xd(BB2)
#
#__Battery %
%Vl(mainDisplay,260,20,30,14,2)
%ar%bl%%
#
Finally, add a preload for the image file:

Code: [Select]

#__Preload Images
%xl(BB2,bb2.bmp,0,0)

Feature Ideas / Lyrics and album art

« Last post by matatu on September 29, 2024, 06:45:44 AM »

I think it's a good idea to look at the lyrics during playback, which fall back on enbedded lyrics in mp3, ogg, flac, m4a etc..
It's also a good idea for pictureflow to use the album art enbedded in mp3, ogg, flac, m4a etc.

Rockbox Utility / Re: Tried to install Rockbox on my iPod 6th gen, didn't find rockbox.ipod

What version of iTunes are you using? I've tried four different ones and Apple Devices. I've gotten different errors every time.

Same problem here! I can't restore it in itunes and try again either because apple software no longer recognizes it.

Repairing and Upgrading Rockbox Capable Players / Re: What are the alternatives to iFlash for an iPod Classic?

I'm getting real tired of the issues that come with Rockbox and iFlash. Going back to the OG firmware isn't an option: iTunes won't even recognise my iPod anymore.

if iTunes won't recognize the device then your problrms have nothing to do with Rockbox.

I once had a Supertalent DuraDrive ZT3 IDE/ZIF-40 Solid State Drive installed in my iPod 5.5g and it worked fine. Was only 256 GB tough. Installation was plug & play.

Apple - Installation/Removal / Re: My 7th gen with iFlash keeps corrupting its firmware

« Last post by dconrad on September 28, 2024, 02:22:33 PM »

Have you read through section 2.1.2 of the manual? That might be of interest to you. I understand you definitely want to be using the current development version, not "stable".

There's also the possibility of a loose cable internally as well that might be worth looking into.

When you say "7th gen" do you mean one that started as 120GB (generally known as 7th gen) or one that started life as a slim 160GB model (usually informally called "7.5 gen")
