I'm loving the new version of rockbox by the way, but whenever i boot up Or go back to teh root menu from browsing a folder i get the "Dir Buffer Full!" message. It doesn't seem to affect teh player of the software in any negative way, it's just really annoying. anyone know how to get rid of this?

There is an answer for this in the Rockbox FAQ: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/vie...er_is_full_mea

If you're charging with the iriver shut down (or while on the bootloader usb screen), there's no way for Rockbox to know that it's been charged. (well it *could* note that it had higher charge than last time it was turned on, but it doesn't seem like it does).

That wouldn't worth either as you get voltage-creep if there's no battery drain for a little while. (Which is why a mobile phone will work for a while, shut-off due to flat battery, and then work again a couple of hours later with surface-current).

Hi,
I was recommending the tremendous rockbox on an Irish forum. Someone said their dad had a H120 and often found himself putting on settings he didn't mean to, shuffle etc. Is there any way you can have a dumbed down rockbox that can't be put to shuffle or anything, maybe one you could set up on the pc and click what you want to show in the actual firmware so the guy who posted could just set it up for his dad so all settings are set and cannot be changed.

[Dunno]

yes, just use the original iriver firmware, much easier

He could always set up a config file and show his dad how to load it so that when he does mess up the settings, he can easily get the old ones back without having to worry about figuring out what he changed. I read that there may be an implementation of a config selector in the quick menu soon, which would make it even easier.

hehe, I suggested the exact same thing to the guy who was asking me:P

[cormie]

Customisable crossfade is great with the new Bootloader V 5.

Any chance of having it so you can choose between the following two options though?


Option A is what it is set to now but I think Option B would be cool

[muesli]

yeah, sounds like a VERY kewl feature

[west.acre]

that's be kewl. do you think there should be 1,2,3,5,8,15 seconds to customize crossfade. i think 1 second is necessary.

Um, option B should result in a volume increase, as both track 01 and track 02 are at 100% volume at the same point in time. Option A should result in a constant volume because when Track 01 is at 70%, Track 02 is at 30%; at the midpoint they're both at 50%; when Track 01 is at 30%, Track 02 is at 70%, etc.

EDIT:

Well, regardless of what each picture depicts, your idea was heard and will be implemented Cormie. From the Rockbox IRC log:

16.31.57 # <Slasheri> Hmm, the "non volume fading crossfader" seems to work well
16.32.22 # <Slasheri> i will commit a patch today to select which type crossfade to use
16.33.13 # <godzirra> non volume fading?
16.33.21 # <godzirra> how can it fade if it doesnt change volume?
16.33.43 # <Slasheri> godzirra: http://www.misticriver.net/boards/at...tid=2545&stc=1
16.33.51 # <Slasheri> that was the idea
16.34.19 # <Slasheri> it works at least for some songs if we just mix them

Gotta love Rockbox!

(*Febs says, as he thinks about SoulEata's H300 firmware upgrade petition to iriver ...)

[Dunno]

I eargerly await Gapless mp3 and implementation of replaygain....that above cosmetics.....

[cormie]

Hmm.. I'm not too sure now actually. I did a little test, I made an mp3 that is constantly the same (horrible) sound and copied it 5 times and put it in a folder so it crossfades into it. You can download the same sound file here if you want to check it yourself. Download and replace the .jpg extension with .zip. You will be left with a zip file containing the mp3.

There is definitely a difference in volume, it's like there is a difference in one part and another part stays the same. Strange. I'm not too sure, but I thought my idea made sense. Does it? I'm confused now.. but I think if there was no difference in volume it would be good, which is what I'm trying to get at:P


EDIT: Ok, I just saw your edit now Febs, that's great news but I'm still confused now! haha. So I'll be on the credits then

EDIT 2: I changed the picture Slasheri linked to, it's changed in my post above, note the way the red and the blue end and start at the bottom instead of the top in the post above. Same idea but I think there may be a difference. Still confused though.

[Febs]

Sorry, Cormie, I didn't mean to be confusing! I'm not saying that no difference in volume exists the way crossfade is currently implemented. I haven't listened to crossfade much, but I have no doubt that you're right. I was commenting only on your pictures, and noting that picture that shows the crossfade basically looking like an "X" in the middle is the one that would yield equal volume.

Regardless, the intent of your post was clear. Obviously, it was clear enough that Slasheri saw it and is implementing the feature you, so that's what is important!

No probs I see it's been already in todays build, however, I've upgraded but don't see the option anywhere?? It's not in Playback > Crossfade, that still only has Off 2s-14s, nothing about mix or anything.

yes I think option A (what it is now) is:
Track 1: 100% - Track 2: 0%
Track 1: 90% - Track 2: 10%
Track 1: 80% - Track 2: 20%
Track 1: 70% - Track 2: 30%
Track 1: 60% - Track 2: 40%
Track 1: 50% - Track 2: 50%*
Track 1: 40% - Track 2: 60%
Track 1: 30% - Track 2: 70%
Track 1: 20% - Track 2: 80%
Track 1: 10% - Track 2: 90%
Track 1: 0% - Track 2: 100%

*when it's at this stage the max volume is at 50%

My idea of option B is to have:
Track 1: 100% - Track 2: 0%
Track 1: 100% - Track 2: 20%
Track 1: 100% - Track 2: 40%
Track 1: 100% - Track 2: 60%
Track 1: 100% - Track 2: 80%
Track 1: 100% - Track 2: 100%*
Track 1: 80% - Track 2: 100%
Track 1: 60% - Track 2: 100%
Track 1: 40% - Track 2: 100%
Track 1: 20% - Track 2: 100%
Track 1: 0% - Track 2: 100%

*This is the point both songs are at the same volume (100%, no decrease in volume has occured, at this stage in Option A, volume would be half what it is in Option B)


Of course, the percentage steps are gradual and there is 1%,2%,3% etc in between all the above percentages.

It says on rockbox.org "It's now possible to select the crossfading mode: "Off, Crossfade, Mix". If set to mix, no fading is applied but tracks are mixed up." I'm not sure when he says "no fading is applied" if this means the above is implemented or if he has done something else.

Any ideas why it is in the latest daily build but I can't seem to find it anywhere? I replaced the old rockbox.iriver file and the .rockbox folder with the new ones in the "latest" zip file. Can anyone else access the MIX option?

Thanks for adding it Slasheri/Mikka Thanks to everyone for rockbox! woo
