Release Rockbox as an app

[PokeParadox]

It's both nice and annoying... now my tracks skip accidentally unless I hold the Pandora in my hand. Any chance of hold switch support?

I have a build up and running with hold button support. The new code will need some restructuring,


so I won't push a build to the repo until it's upstream.


There's also an alternative: Rockbox could use the 'h' key for hold.


Actually the code for that just needs to be enabled. Would that be enough?


Might be even easier than to fiddle with the hold button and accidentally switch off the pandora on unlock.


(happened twice to me B) )

H key would be a good interim solution!


Although my OCD is wanting the hold switch to actually DO something


EDIT: Weird double-quoting removed...

If you are interested, here's my private build which supports the HOLD switch:


rockbox-2012-03-10-hold-button.pnd


I just don't want "tweaky" builds on the repo, so you have to install it manually from the forum


until I find the time to finish up the code for upstream submission

Hi Thomas,


Just to let you know in the current build of Rockbox I'm getting random segfaults which seems to be triggered by OGG Vorbis files. I'll see about getting you a log, but I don't know how helpful that could be.

To further my report - here is what I got from the pnd_run output.

[thomasjfox]

To further my report - here is what I got from the pnd_run output.

Please try again with the latest Rockbox 3.12 Pandora release.
It doesn't specifically mention changes to the vorbis codec,

let's see what happens.

 

[Binky]

Any news on the C-Button-Crash or the radio-request?

The pandora has no FM radio reciever chip - how would rockbox work around that?

 

[badcloud]

I can confirm LCD Settings bug (for me it force quits)

2 requests:

-Shoulder button remapping (e.g. Left for play/pause instead of previous track)

-Volume boost (looked inside of EQ but could not find anything)

 

[jottt]

As skins that look nice on the Pandora are extremely rare, I like to point out another very well made skin that looks beautiful:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=89615

Clean, modern looks

Good support of the touchscreen (also for fingers)

Album Art does not work for me, but I'll have a look at that.

--- Edit ---

Album Art fixed.

After extracting the theme download from above and renaming the attached *.wps.zip to *.wps, copy it to SDCARD\pandora\appdata\rockbox\.config\rockbox.org\wps replacing the old one. As this is not my skin I did not want to bundle it directly.

rockn900.wps.zip

 

[jottt]

Bugreports:

* Fast skipping (tested: mp3 via shoulder buttons) crashes Rockbox (was noted before). Afterwards RB lost its memory where it was.

Those two are probably upstream bugs (I guess?)

* At least when playing FLAC with coverart as "folder.jpg" the image is removed around 4 seconds before the end of the track. This happens as well, when the next track is part of the same album (and folder). I never noticed that issue with mp3 and embedded covers.

* CoverArt embedded in FLAC does not show up, only folder.jpg seems to work (artist - title.jpg is also ignored)

Aaand a positive report

The noise while playing that happened once in a while in earlier versions (and is still noted as "not working" on the Rockbox page) seems to be completely gone (at least in my setup). I used Rockbox for probably 100 hours now with quite a good audio system and never had a single noise. (GHz-Pandora, No WLAN, TV-OUT active, power via USB sometimes connected, never on AC)

 

[Binky]

Arg!

I wish this forum software didn't force people to use incorrect file extensions...

Otherwise, its a very nice theme
