can't get AAC to play on agptek rocker and on sansa clip zip
« on: September 07, 2024, 03:55:13 PM »
Wondering about the status of AAC playback. Manual seems to imply it is supported, but it's not working for me.

On agptek rocker I get a white screen that says "Floating point excdeption, address 0x49ffe8" while using rockbox-agptekrocker-20240907.

On sansa clip zip it just skips over the file while using rockbox-sansaclipzip-20240907.

Update: scratch the sansadisk problem, I converted losslessly to m4a and it seems to be working, I guess rockbox looks at the extension.

The problem on agptek still remains, so I guess it must be agptek specific?

Yeah it might be extension related. Does it play if you simply rename extension to "mp4" or "m4a". If it fails check also if it shows valid track information (open context menu on file -> Show Track Info ).

.aac (raw AAC transport stream) and .mp4/.m4a (mpeg4 AAC audio) are both supported but the file extension must match the file contents. If you put the wrong file extension then the wrong decoder will be loaded and the file won't play.

The crash on the rocker is the more concerning part
