\section{Bug reports}
|
|
If you experience inappropriate performance from any supported feature,
|
|
please file a bug report on our web page. Do not report missing
|
|
features as bugs, instead file them as feature ideas (see below).
|
|
|
|
For open bug reports refer to
|
|
\url{https://www.rockbox.org/tracker/index.php?type=2}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Rules for submitting new bug reports}
|
|
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item Check that the bug has not already been reported
|
|
\item Always include the following information in your bug report:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Which exact \dap{} you have.
|
|
\item Which exact Rockbox version you are using
|
|
(Menu $\rightarrow$ System $\rightarrow$ Rockbox Info $\rightarrow$ Version)
|
|
\item A step{}-by{}-step description of what you did and what happened
|
|
\item Whether the problem is repeatable or a one{}-time occurrence
|
|
\item All relevant data regarding the problem, such as playlists, MP3
|
|
files etc. (IMPORTANT!)
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
\section{Feature ideas}
|
|
To suggest an idea for a feature or to read those made by others, see
|
|
\url{https://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?board=49.0}. Please keep in
|
|
mind that this forum is for the discussion of feature ideas -- they are not
|
|
requests and there is no guarantee they will be acted upon.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Rules for submitting a new feature idea}
|
|
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item Check that the feature has not already been suggested.
|
|
Duplicates are really boring!
|
|
\item Check that the feature has not already been implemented.
|
|
Download the latest current/daily build and/or search the mail list archive.
|
|
\item Check that the feature is possible to implement (see \reference{ref:NODO}).
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{\label{ref:NODO}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!
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\nopt{iriverh300,iaudiox5}{
|
|
\item 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
|
|
\dap{} 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. If that is not enough, we have no way of actually
|
|
controlling the communication performed over USB since the USB circuit
|
|
in the \dap{} is strictly made for disk{}-access and does not allow us
|
|
to play with it the way we'd need for any good communication to work.
|
|
}
|
|
\item Support other file systems than FAT32 (like NTFS or ext2 etc.).\\
|
|
No. (Except perhaps for ExFAT)
|
|
Most \dap{}s can only start off FAT32 partitions, so adding support
|
|
for more file systems will just take away valuable ram for
|
|
unnecessary features. You can partition your \dap{} fine, just make sure
|
|
the first one is FAT32 and then make the other ones whatever file system
|
|
you want. Just do not expect Rockbox to understand them.
|
|
\item Add scandisk{}-like features.\\
|
|
It would be a very slow operation that would drain the batteries and
|
|
take a lot of useful ram for something that is much better and faster
|
|
done when connected to a host computer.
|
|
\item Alphabetical list skipping.\\
|
|
Skipping around the lists by jumping letters (i.e skip all C's and go
|
|
straight to the first D). This isn't feasible with the current list
|
|
implementation, if you really want this you can get similar effects using
|
|
the database (see \reference{ref:database}).
|
|
\item Add support for non standard tag formats.\\
|
|
APE tags in MP3 files has been rejected a few times already. Its not something we want.
|
|
\item Implementing the ability to playback DRM files.\\
|
|
Firstly, this would be extremely difficult to implement legally -- Rockbox
|
|
is not legal entity as such, and therefore is unable to enter into license
|
|
agreements with providers of DRM technology.
|
|
Secondly, Rockbox is open source, which would mean that any DRM technology we
|
|
incorporated into our codebase would suddenly become visible to the whole world,
|
|
completely defeating its purpose. Remember, DRM achieves part of its security
|
|
through obscurity, and publishing the keys necessary to decrypt DRM'd
|
|
media would essentially render it useless.
