C HAPTER 7. P LUGINS 41 Chop breaks lines at the maximum column limit. Line mode cycles through Normal, Join and Expand. Normal breaks lines at newline characters. Join ignores unpaired newline characters (i.e., joins lines). Useful for adopting the orphans that occur with e-mail style (i.e.,pre-wrapped) text files. N Expand doubles unpaired newlines (i.e., adds a blank line). Useful for making the paragraphs clearer in some book style text files. O View mode toggles between Narrow and Wide.
C HAPTER 7. P LUGINS 42 7.3.4. VBRfix b N This function scans a VBR (Variable Bitrate) MP3 file and updates/creates the Xing VBR header. The Xing header contains information about the VBR stream used to calculate average bit rate, time information and to more accurately fwd/rew in the stream. This function is especially useful when the playback of a file skips, fwd/rew does not work correctly or the time display is incorrect.
C HAPTER 7. P LUGINS 43 7.4.2. Battery Benchmark N The Battery Benchmark Plugin enables you to test your battery’s performance, while making normal use of your player. Once loaded it will run in the background (TSR plugin), reading various info about your battery while you use it.

C HAPTER 7. P LUGINS 44 Time Left It shows the estimated (by Rockbox) remaining time until shutdown. Again, as Level, this column can be used to see differences between real time left and estimated time left. This could help make time left more accurate. N Voltage The current, battery voltage, the moment the measurement was captured. Measurements are captured when this number changes while benchmarking. This column can be used to give quite interesting graphs in a spreadsheet program. (Excel, Calc, e.t.

Getting Extras (Fonts, Languages) SI O Rockbox supports custom fonts (for the Recorder and Ondio only) and a number of different languages. Rockbox comes with several fonts and languages already included. If new fonts have been created, then they will be found in the font package at http: //www.rockbox.org/daily.shtml. The latest .lng files are always included in the daily Rockbox builds. ER 8.1.2.

WPS – Build Your Own SI • All characters not preceded by % are displayed as typed. O N Quite simply, enter the WPS code in your favourite text editor, Notepad on Windows works fine. When you save it, instead of saving it as a .txt file, save it as a .wps file. Example: Instead of Rockbox.
C HAPTER 8. A DVANCED T OPICS 50 If you use the upper-case versions of the three tags: F, I and D, they will instead refer to the next song instead of the current one. Example: %Ig is the genre name used in the next song and %Ff is the mp3 frequency. Note: The next song information will not be available at all times, but will most likely be available at the end of a song.
C HAPTER 8. A DVANCED T OPICS 51 • repeat. . . If the ID3 artist and title are not present: • Display the filename continuously. N Note that by using a subline display time of 0 in one branch of a conditional, a subline can be skipped (not displayed) when that condition is met. Using Images O You can have as many as 52 images in your WPS. There are various ways of displaying images: 1. Load and always show the image, using the %x tag ER Example on bitmap preloading and use: SI 2.
C HAPTER 8. A DVANCED T OPICS 52 N A configuration file may reside anywhere on the hard disk. Multiple configuration files are permitted. So, for example, you could have a car.cfg file for the settings that you use while playing your jukebox in your car, and a headphones.cfg file to store the settings that you use while listening to your player through headphones. See section 8.3.2 (page 52) below for an explanation of the format for configuration files. See section 8.3.
C HAPTER 8. A DVANCED T OPICS 53 8.3.3. The M ANAGE S ETTINGS menu The M ANAGE S ETTINGS menu can be found in the M AIN M ENU. The M ANAGE S ETTINGS menu allows you to save and load .cfg files. The M ANAGE S ETTINGS menu also allows you to load or save different firmware versions. N Browse .cfg Files. Opens the file browser in the /.rockbox directory and displays all .cfg (configuration) files. Selecting a .cfg file will cause Rockbox to load the settings contained in that file.
C HAPTER 8. A DVANCED T OPICS 54 8.5. Rockbox in flash These instructions are outdated!!. This section is a copy of the wikipage FlashingRockbox revision r.1.19. Warning: Flashing Rockbox is optional. It is not required for using Rockbox on your Archos Jukebox Studio 5000, 6000, Player 10 and 20. Please read the whole section thoroughly before flashing. N 8.5.1. Introduction ! 8.5.2. Terminology ER Firmware: The flash ROM content as a whole.
C HAPTER 8. A DVANCED T OPICS 55 • The second one is called rockbox flash.rock and is used to reprogram only the second image. It won’t touch any other byte, should be safe to fool around with. If the programmed firmware is inoperational, you can still use the Minus start with the Archos firmware and Rockbox booted from disk to try better. O N The non-user tools are in the flash subdirectory of the cvs source files.
C HAPTER 8. A DVANCED T OPICS 56 from flash is not 100% stable for everyone, you can still use the box, reflash the second image with an updated Rockbox copy, etc. The flash chip being used by Archos is specified for 100,000 cycles, so you don’t need to worry about that wearing out. 8.5.5. Requirements N You need two things: • The first is a Archos Jukebox Studio 5000, 6000, Player 10 and 20. Be sure you’re using the correct package, they are different! ER 8.5.6.
C HAPTER 8. A DVANCED T OPICS 57 6. Connect the charger and make sure your batteries are also in good shape. That’s just for security reasons, it’s not that flashing needs more power. N 7. Run the firmware flash.rock plugin. It again tells you about your flash and the file it’s gonna program. After Minus it checks the file. Your hardware mask value will be kept, it won’t overwrite it. Hitting On gives you a big warning.
C HAPTER 8. A DVANCED T OPICS 58 1. Normally, you’ll simply download a .zip distribution. Copy all the content to the USB drive, replacing the old. 2. Force a disk boot by holding Minus during power-up, or at least rolo into the new Rockbox version by Playing the ajbrec.ajz/fnamearchos.mod file. This may not always be necessary, but it’s better to first run the version you’re about to flash. It is required if you are currently running RomBox. O N 3. Just play the .ucl file in the .
C HAPTER 8. A DVANCED T OPICS 59 a CRC value of 0x222F in the hardware info screen. Without a boot ROM there is no UART boot safety net. To compensate for that as much as possible the MiniMon monitor is included, it starts with Plus+On. Using that the box can be reprogrammed via serial if the first 2000 bytes of the flash are OK. 8.5.10. Download the new flash content file to your box D RA FT V ER SI O N These links are not valid.

A PPENDIX E. U SER FEEDBACK 70 E.2.2. Features we will not implement This is a list of Feature Requests we get repeatedly that we simply cannot do. View it as the opposite of a TODO! • Record to WAV (uncompressed) or MP3pro format! The recording hardware (the MAS) does not allow us to do this N • Crossfade between tracks! Crossfading would require two mp3 decoders, and we only have one. This is not possible.
A PPENDIX E. U SER FEEDBACK 71 N • Interfacing with other USB devices (like cameras) or 2 player games over USB The USB system demands that there is a master that talks to a slave. The player can only serve as a slave, as most other USB devices such as cameras can. Thus, without a master no communication between the slaves can take place.
