Re: Porting rockbox to n900
 

Well, great player. Using it as default right now, and thanks to kjodrisc for the new skin, it looks really cool.

A bug that i found is that when you scroll database>tracks with the sidebar it works great (btw really respnsive and fast way to browse the library, a little hard to use and even see at the beginning but great when you get the hang of it), but when you try to use it on the playlist it closes rockbox.

Re: Porting rockbox to n900
 

A couple of bugs if I select another track and try click the previous button it sometimes and It would help if the RockBox port automatically scanned the emmc storage are for music files and going through all the directories on first boot was a bit of a pain and also turning the volume up and down when the screen is off via the volume keys is not possible and up to a point the on board qwerty keyboard crashes the port and if this is not supported yet.

Please can you tell me how to disable it thanks, I will update with more information when I have done some more thorough testing and thanks for the app ;)

Edits:
I find to select a previous track and song, I have to press the previous track button a couple of times, even with the stylus and also it is picking up all the Maemo system sounds which is kind of annoying when, I have the player setup on shuffle.

Also I cannot exit the Graphical EQ to go back to previous menu when, I am tweaking the Graphical EQ as exit mode is either to small to quit or doesn't work as a link or touchable button.

And when I go to Database>Artist>All Tracks they all say untagged and you cannot exit credits.

Reasons behind issues:
Okay the the previous track issue seems to be being caused by two problems one the system sounds are being picked up which, I already mentioned and these are short so when you have the player shuffling all tracks this error occurs and the short system sounds stop you from clicking backwards through tracks when using the previous track button and last but not least so far for this issue.
The feedback sensitivity from the previous track button needs to be configured as by using your finger or thumb this is near to impossible and, I have also found in my testing that if you have two tracks one after the other in full length you can click back and forth between the tracks using the N900's stylus by clicking the previous and forward track buttons with the stylus.

lol, I remember mooamp, it was great stuff altogether. I made up something that's loosely based on it. It's not mooamp but it's kind of close and the cow does move along with the progress bar :D

Hmm, I'd swear the font on my menus was a lot smaller until I changed it, maybe my mind was just playing tricks on me. :confused:

For me on Windows 7 64bit, convbdf gets as far as "Header parsed" then a Windows pop-up says: "convbdf.exe has stopped working". That's the only info I get.

Here's a forum post talking about the issue.

Re: Porting rockbox to n900
 

I'm late at commenting, but I just have to say that Rockbox on the N900 is a great idea. I have used the firmware on my Cowon player for long and I miss its usability and features.

At this point I am just testing the usability and integration issues to get an idea of how I can be most useful.

Keep up the good work, this is a high value project ! :D

It appears to crash when manipulating a scrollbar that happens to be on any of Rockbox's screens. I, for instance, see Rockbox crashing when viewing the current playlist's contents. I also moved the scrollbar to the right and found it doing the same.

Here's a gdb backtrace, if it helps:
If it helps, this is on an N800 so it can't be GStreamer or anything. SDL_GetError has nothing to report

Re: Porting rockbox to n900
 

Hmm, could you please check this line for me:
/home/jstokes/rockbox-2011-01/firmware/target/hosted/sdl/button-sdl.c:278

In my source code version, it's an empty line??

Anway, it seems to be a NULL pointer access. It might help to -start- the program in gdb and make it crash, maybe it outputs more information than with the first backtrace.

I also guess the issue is N8xx related.

Re: Porting rockbox to n900
 

That was me replacing "printf("SDL_WaitEvent() error\n")" with abort(). A core dump is more useful to me rather than seeing "SDL_WaitEvent() error" a million and one times...

Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be possible:
