Official Rock Box Lounge For IHP 120/140 ONLY

[I*Love*My*Iriver]

can someone guide me to a post or topic on how to change the boot screen?? do you need to be running rockbox to change the boot screen image?? or can you load it on the original firmware??

[XavierGr]

Playing and changing code for the bootlaoder is out of question, it is very dangerous to try to change the bootloader without serious knowledge of what you are doing?

[Aru]

There was a program that allowed you to theme the original firmware (providing you with the ability to change the bootscreen). They did this without rockbox... I forget what it was called, check the h100 forums.

I thought he meant to change the rockbox boot up screen (via the source code).
But yes I think that you can still change the original bootup screen with stipwax's program.

Hi,

Just a quick question..

I have my music organised like:

Root/Albums/#-F/Artist Name/Album Name/Track.mp3

If I highlight the "Artist Name" folder or any previous one to it (/Albums/#-F/Artist Name/) Hold the nav button, and add to playlist, it wont add what is in the folder I'm trying to add. It will only add from the point of Album Name/Track.mp3. This means if I want to add an artists albums to a playlist, I have to go into the artist folder and add each album individually even if I want them all in the playlist. Is there any way to just add from the Artist Name directory? It says "Adding to playlist" but it doesn't

Do you have "recursively insert directories" set to ON? If not, try turning it on and see if that solves your problem.

[cormie]

Thanks very much that sorted it. Why is that set to off as default though

[jkhasson]

Thanks to Rockbox Team. Looks like a great product. I just uploaded Rockbox today, so I'm a "newbie" in the Rockbox realm. I've searched this forum for an answer to my question, but cannot find it mentioned.

After converting my database to the rockbox database using the Java method from the Rockbox site, the "Artist" list in the DB is truncated in the middle of the "T" artists. I search on "U" for my U2 songs, and they are in the DB, but not shown in the Artist list.

Any idea what is going on?

Thanks!

[djray]

in the recent CVS... looks like there's an initial effort to port Rockbox over to iPod!!!
what do you guys think?

[ManchesterUnited4Life]

Note thread title, djray

bah humbug!

The Rockbox forums rock! Thanks to LinusN over at Rockbox, my problem is solved. I just needed to increase the "Max files in dir browser" setting, and all problems were solved.

I have tasted the Rockbox cool-aid, and it tastes good! I can't wait for the expanded EQ functionality as well as genre-based browsing in the DB. Thanks Rockbox folks!

I've been having some problems with some .wps files lately, and hope someone can tell me if it's my fault, or the fault of the code or build etc..

I have deleted every wps I was using, and am starting fresh, checking each one as I go along. The first one I installed, is adama's wps, and it's working fine with his conditional images. I don't think there's a background bmp, so that is an irrelevant one to test. Then however, I tried the "gabriel" wps, with xtal 14 font, and I get no background image. All I get is : "1|line.bmp|0|9"

I thought that the |0|9 was wrong, and changed the 9 to a 0, but that doesn't do diddly squat either. I'm of course using the latest build, so unless the latest breaks images, I don't know what gives. Anyone ?

sounds like he typed in the WPS code wrong... there's nothing wrong with the 9... the 9 is the Y coordinate

try this:

%x|Z|line.bmp|0|9

let me know what happens.

[sweetspot]

Ok, that's somewhat better. I can now see the intended graphical stuff. For some reason though, the suggested xtal 14 font doesn't seem to be working with it. Thanks though for the tip. The code that you "fixed", with what you typed, should that be the standard for most wps files with .bmp's ?

[Jonny]

Yep. Either %x to permanently display an image or %xl to load it followed by the letter followed by the file path followed by the coordinates.
e.g.

%x|a|Images/vorbis.bmp|65|0|

[sweetspot]

Thanks Jonny. There's way too much I don't understand about this stuff, such as what coordinates and letters do etc.. By the way, I was looking at your newest wps file, and the code is missing from the post.

You might want to hold off on spending too much time working on your WPS right now. This was just posted on the Rockbox developers' list:

There are two changes to pay attention to, and an additional request of mine:

1. The "browse wps files" function will scan the .rockbox/wps directory and no
other. You must put your WPS in there and press PLAY on it to have it stick
and get used after reboot.

2. All BMPs that are specified in a given WPS will be loaded from the
directory using the same name as the WPS file without its extension.

An imaginary WPS called /.rockbox/wps/ninja2000.wps will thus loads images
from the directory named /.rockbox/wps/ninja2000

(thus you don't need to use any subdir in the BMP tag in the WPS)

A request/plan:

With this change committed, all of a sudden we have a (much easier) way to distribute and install custom WPSes with less fiddling and less clutter in the root .rockbox directory.

I would like to take this opportunity to start gathering WPSes and have them included in upcoming Rockbox packages (bleeding, daily, releases) and made available on the Rockbox site. If you have created a WPS that (and this is important) works fine with a font that is provided in the Rockbox package, then please make a zip file with:

1 - the WPS file
2 - the BMPs in the subdirectory
3 - a mention on what font you prefer with the design
4 - your name

Of course by doing this you agree that we provide these files to the world using the same license we use for all files: GPL.

Please submit these packages in the patch tracker, select category 'wps':

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func...06&atid=439120

I plan to commit these donated designs to CVS (possibly in apps/wps/) and adjust buildzip.pl accordingly so that packages will come bundled with a neat set of pre-designed WPSes to select from.

Okay, if you read all this you probably forgot how this mail started so please read the top section again!

I'm a little confused....how should we submit them then?
