Rockbox General Discussion / Re: Rockbox on HiFi Walker H2
« Last post by speachy on Today at 11:52:27 AM »The missing font and some related default theme issues has now been fixed, and will show up in the 20250613 nightly builds.
If you can't wait that long, you can grab the bleeding-edge dev build from: https://build.rockbox.org/data/rockbox-aigoerosq.zip
The _crash_ is still unaddressed at this time, but at least it will require active malfeasance to trigger.

« Last post by speachy on Today at 11:16:59 AM »I'm looking at the rockbox zip file now and I notice that it does not have a .roxkbox/fonts folder... I wonder if this is a bug if no fonts have been installed. I was under the impression that it came with at least a few fonts but perhaps not.
* The latest daily build zip (20250612) also includes the same font
* A fresh build on my workstation produces a zip with the same font
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with our build scripts and download infrastructure.
EDIT: Missed that this was for the _hosted_ aigoerosq build. That is indeed missing a font in the download zip.

« Last post by dconrad on Today at 09:16:51 AM »I just tried it and I can indeed reproduce the issue on my player. All I needed to do was to remove the .rockbox/fonts folder and attempt to browse fonts, and then a crash. Even an empty fonts directory prevents the crash.
Again, I'm sorry I doubted!

« Last post by dconrad on Today at 08:28:34 AM »Ok, hmm. I was sure that was it. Can you use any other features in rockbox? Can you browse the file tree without crashing? Play a file?

You could try adding the fonts so that there are actually some fonts to browse. Unzip this folder onto the root of your drive: https://download.rockbox.org/daily/fonts/rockbox-fonts-20250612.zip
I'm terribly sorry I made you go out and get a new SD card when it seems that wasn't the issue! I was so sure of it.

Audio Playback, Database and Playlists / Genre Tags on iPod Video
« Last post by jbf on Today at 12:54:22 AM »Hi,
I read in the manual that multiple tags are not used by Genre and only the first tag will be used. I'd like to get a little more clarity on this subject if at all possible.
Is there any way at all to get Rockbox to properly generate genres in the database for songs that use multiple genre's separated by semicolon?
I typically use semi-colons in Media Monkey to add songs that belong to multiple genres. On my stock iPod mini, it seems to handle tags separated by semi-colon without an issue.
On my iPod Video (5.5 or 5th Gen Enhanced), it seems to capture every entry with semi-colon as a single tag. This ends up with many many duplicated genre tags.
I have a very very large library (over 22k songs) and most with full albums.
Trying to find the best way to handle this so my iPod's running rockbox can have a nice clean genre list without me having to re-tag the entire library in a very specific way for the iPods.
Can anyone give helpful insight or suggestions?

The new card is also a Sansa, a 64mb, and I did format it fat32. Should I try a different build? Another card. Does Rockbox have a favorite brand of storage?

« Last post by psyscott on June 11, 2025, 06:21:19 PM »OK. I did as suggested,bought a new card, started over. reinstalled, booted Rockbox, went to settings and to fonts, and exactly the same thing occurred. Yes, there is something very wrong, but it is NOT the card! What else but a BUG? Suggestions now?
