Release 0.50b by Mis

[MIS]

Hi all !

Here is new standard ypod firmware release 0.50b:

http://www.romek_by.republika.pl/ypod_0.50b.zip

Changes:
+ USB mass storage support (thank's to MIC for hes hard, good work)
+ Fixed music playing disturbation during menu navigation. Now even 320kbps CBR files can be playing without any gaps.
+ SDHC support based on MIC's code
+ Simple text "longpress menu" changed to graphics.
+ Fixed "BMP" style bitmaps displaying, adding trap for too high resolution files
+ Fixed "BMP" cover loading
+ Many bugfixes.

Breakout plugin, and SD card "system" contents included. Please unzip "SD_system.zip" to "system" folder on SD card.

The USB mass storage function not start automatically after USB cable is connected ! You can connect the player into PC or external charger, and charge the battery during music playing.

You have two ways for start USB PC connection.
1. Connect USB cable in power off state, then power on the player. After startup screen the connection is started automatically.
2. If your player is ON, connect the USB cable, longpress the slider for enter the "long menu", select "Player Info" option and shortpress slider for start communication.

Quick update at 08-06-15 19:15 - Replacing with new version internally named 0.50b1
+ Some more bugfix, and code cleaning.
+ Speedup USB transfer about 50%. Now I get card writing speed about 170 kbytes/s.

Sometimes after USB disconnect I notice that the timer tick interrupt can't restart, and cause system hang.
In this version I added some check for this situation, and if occur, the player shutdown after USB cable disconnecting (or host disconnect). No more lockup after USB disconnect.

 Greetings,

HI MIS!

Very cool piece of software, seems the yPod is alive again ^^


Well, one thing to mention from my side: Is the following behaviour of the menu wanted this way?

When i select the "randomize" mode, and after that i browse around within the music folders and select a specific song, then the player starts playing the next (randomized) song, not the selected one.

With other words: In my opinion, the player should go back to "normal" mode, when i select a song to be played.

But of course this is a very tiny thing and maybe this is also the wanted behaviour.


Thanks for the great work!!

rMx:
This problem is very easy to fix.
In "helpers.c", function "void step_in_playlist(int dir)" you need two small changes.
Replace both occurences of:

Code: [Select]

if(random)by

Code: [Select]

if(random && dir != 0) // if random ON and not direct file selecting
That's all ! After this modification, in random mode you can select any song in filebrowser, and it be played normally, but the next song (automatically changed) will be randomized.
