Audio Playback, Database and Playlists / How do I get rockbox to see all the music files??
« Last post by MurrayF on March 17, 2025, 10:17:11 PM »Hi all. I hope some of you can help me. I'm a Rockbox newbie. I have just got rb running on a gen 6/7 ipod classic. However it only shows about 100 music files on Now Playing. I put all my music files on the ipod via cable and they can all be found under I\music\mp3final\<artist> directories when connected to the computer. There are about 99,000 music files there, mostly mp3 but some m4a , flac and wav. However, on turn on, it only shows one of the albums from the apple section of the ipod (ipod control). My computer is a win 10.
Someone on facebook said to go via files and/or database, however, it can't see all the 99k songs. Is 99k too much for a gen 6/7.
The ipod has succesfully got 2TB, using a iquad board with four 500MB sd cards.
If anyone has a magic wand I can wave over it to get it to see all the music, I will be forever grateful.
Also, is there a better theme to use? I'm not sure if the one I am using could be an issue, or not. See attachment.
Thanks in advance.

Theming and Appearance Customization / Re: Subline timing.

This recent change to the t tag might be of help? According to Bilgus' notes the regular use maxes out at 655 seconds, so the only way to get a longer timeout is to use this newer method. I remember from a conversation in the IRC channel though that he only recommended to use it once or twice in a theme since it's a very expensive tag performance wise.
I had a chance to try the above, but I couldn't get it to work. I'm pretty sure I had it set up correctly but there was no effect. It just displayed the first line indefinitely.
Either of these solutions would work perfectly.
Another option could be a mode where if the next subline doesn't have a %t tag, then stop the loop.
So %t(5)first line;second line
preventing the second line from switching back to the first entirely. Something like %t(2)first line;%t(-)second line

Theming and Appearance Customization / Theme Font
« Last post by iPodVT on March 16, 2025, 08:51:01 AM »1 - Is there a theme tag (maybe akin to %Vs) that I can use to change only the font in the current viewport? I'm not finding it in the manual (though I don't doubt that it's there and I'm too thick to find it).
2 - Would it be possible to add a new shortcut that would take me into the list of fonts at Settings->Theme Settings->Fonts? I tried adding the shortcut below to shortcuts.txt but it doesn't do anything.
[shortcut]
type: setting
data: font
name:
icon: -1
talkclip:
I'm currently using a shortcut that takes me into /.rockbox/fonts and enables me to change the theme font there. That's fairly useful, but its limitation is that when I arrive there it selects the first font in the directory rather than the current theme font, which is why a shortcut into Settings->Theme Settings->Fonts would be so much more useful.
Thanks.

Rockbox Utility / Themes not downloading
« Last post by VosCoBoss on March 16, 2025, 04:10:07 AM »Hi, I am a new rockbox user. Installing Rockbox on my iPod 5th gen worked using Rockbox Utility, however when trying to select themes I get a download error. I have attached the log file to this post. It is possible to download the themes from themes.rockbox.org directly, but I have to click the link twice. First click will come up with an error as well.

« Last post by Dook on March 15, 2025, 01:19:58 PM »Thinking about this today after I ran into a similar problem to solve. There are situations where you want to have an indefinite display of a subline, so in my case I wanted to only display a "loading" message if the disk has been accessed for more than 5 seconds. I can max out the second tag, but it does require knowledge of the tag's limits which might be hard to find. It might make sense for the %t tag to have mode that lets you shorthand the maximum value or preventing the second line from switching back to the first entirely. Something like %t(2)first line;%t(-)second line
The loading message code I was writing for reference:

Theming and Appearance Customization / Re: Horizon
« Last post by Dook on March 15, 2025, 01:14:50 PM »This is a masterful modification of adwaitapod! Visually this is a really unique theme, great to see you took advantage of the album art setup to have anti-aliasing on the circle (I think it really adds to the high-quality feeling of the theme.) It would be cool to have the progress bar circle the album art but that might be a bit hard to achieve given the scale. But all in all excited to see where this leads! If you used the skinned lists feature, you could probably achieve a circular menu of sorts (if you want any tips/pointers let me know)

Repairing and Upgrading Rockbox Capable Players / Re: Archos Jukebox Recorder 20 SSD upgrade?
« Last post by bleb on March 14, 2025, 09:21:47 PM »So I got a 16 GB Transcend 133x CF card and a generic passive IDE adapter. The Archos functioned as an enclosure letting me reformat the CF card and copy files to it, so I tried installing Rockbox 3.13 but it would not work. The Rockbox splash screen didn't show and instead I got a file browser view showing an empty root directory even after copying a few files to it.
I'm guessing the adapter+CF card is too different from the HDD that came with the device. It also lacks the screw holes that are used to secure the sides of the case which isn't great. Next I will try a PATA SSD.
