08:41 < tauresule> Hi all, I have a question if anybody is up
08:42 < tauresule> I am following the instructions given at http://www.freemyipod.org/wiki/EmCORE_Installation/iPodClassic/UMSboot and completed everything prior correctly (or so it seems). I am currently on the step: "Save it to the 64MB-sized "UMSboot" volume" but I don't know how to do that
08:44 < tauresule> I've tried going into terminal, and after downloading the 'installer-ipodclassic.ubi' into my downloads folder, I go into the terminal and cd there. Then I tried entering 'sudo mv installer-ipodclassic-r708-20110424.ubi /dev/sdb/' but then it prints: 'mv: accessing `/dev/sdb/': Not a directory '
08:44 < tauresule> So my question is: How do I save that .ubi file to the UMSboot volume? I don't understand what that means at all
08:46 < user890104> tauresule: you need to mount it first
08:46 < user890104> mkdir /tmp/umsboot
08:47 < user890104> sudo mount /dev/sdb /tmp/umsboot
08:47 < tauresule> and then mount it there? Currently it's mounted at /media/disk
08:47 < user890104> sudo mv installer-ipodclassic-r708-20110424.ubi /media/disk
08:47 < user890104> in this case
08:49 < tauresule> Okay. Just did that. I will unplug my iPod and see what happens..
08:49 < user890104> then you enter:
08:49 < user890104> sudo eject /dev/sdb

08:50 < tauresule> It looks like it is working now
08:50 < tauresule> Installing onto iPod at least
08:52 < tauresule> No .rockbox directory?
08:52 < tauresule> nevermind that
08:53 -!- [Saint] [~Saint]@unaffiliated/saint/x-8516940] has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
09:00 < tauresule> Looks like it is working now. Thank you user890104. Probably a stupid question, and probably the easiest part of this entire process, but how do I add music now?
09:01 -!- [Saint_] is now known as [Saint]
09:02 < [Saint]> tauresule: "however you want to"
09:02 < [Saint]> Rockbox doesn't care how the audio gets there.
09:02 < [Saint]> Or care about its location or directory structure.
09:03 < [Saint]> Just don't put it in /.rockbox
09:03 < [Saint]> And, there should be a /.rockbox directory.
09:03 < [Saint]> If there isn't, you missed a step.
09:04 < [Saint]> It sounds as though you are just running off the fallback image, and haven't extracted an updated binary to the device.
09:05 < [Saint]> You still need to extract an updated binary to complete the installation. So, yeah...if there's no /.rockbox directory, you missed a step.
09:05 < tauresule> So I should just drag and drop it anywhere on the iPod except the .rockbox directory?
09:05 < [Saint]> Correct.
09:05 < tauresule> Cool. And I have the .rockbox directory now, I said that because I skipped a step or two reading. It's been a long night messing with this thing, haha
09:06 < [Saint]> Right. Yeah, I can usually tell what steps people miss if the explanation is good enough.
09:07 < [Saint]> People see rockbox boot and go "ah! great! finished" and stop reading :)
09:07 < tauresule> Spot on, pretty much what I did
09:08 < [Saint]> But yeah...glad you got it sorted. And yeah, you can use pretty much any software or method to sync audio to the device. Rockbox doesn't care.
09:08 < [Saint]> Even iTunes, Rockbox can read from the iTunes database.
09:09 < [Saint]> Windows media player...just, well...anything. even good ol' drag-n-drop.
09:09 < tauresule> Hm, well as a test I created a /Music directory under iPodClassic and added one album. I can go into Rockbox on the device and select Music->Artist->Album but it is blank at that point
09:10 < [Saint]> Have you initiated the database, or rebooted since adding the music?
09:12 < [Saint]> Are you using the Database, or the Files entry to view the audio?
09:12 < tauresule> Files
09:13 < [Saint]> The "Show Files" setting may be incorrect.
09:13 < [Saint]> Settings - General Settings - File View - Show Files

09:13 -!- [Saint] [~Saint]@unaffiliated/saint/x-8516940] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
09:14 < tauresule> Just did that and now it shows them but it does not play them. They are .mp3 files
09:14 < tauresule> It will show and 'play' the .jpg file in the folder though
09:14 -!- [Saint] [~Saint]@unaffiliated/saint/x-8516940] has joined #freemyipod-support
09:15 < [Saint]> What is the value of that setting?
09:15 < tauresule> I set it to Show All
09:15 < [Saint]> Working now?
09:17 < tauresule> Well it shows the files but won't play them
09:17 < tauresule> I'm rebooting the device now though
09:18 < tauresule> Nope, still won't play even after another reboot
09:21 < tauresule> Added another album and that will play but not the first one?
09:22 < [Saint]> Jump into #rockbox and report the issue.
09:22 < [Saint]> It might also pay to have one of these tracks online somewhere, in case its broken in some exotic way.
09:24 < tauresule> Like you want me to upload it for testing?
09:25 < [Saint]> Its possible that someone will ask to see one of these files that doesn't play, yes.
09:27 < tauresule> Okay. I think I'll probably do some more independent investigation before I do. Look at metadata and what not
09:28 < [Saint]> Cool, no worries. If you can't get it sorted out, pop into #rockbox as this would definitely be rockbox specific, not emCORE/emBIOS
09:31 < tauresule> Thanks for your help Saint.
09:31 < [Saint]> Not a problem.

11:59 < TheSeven> hm, maybe he still didn't install the codecs?
11:59 < TheSeven> <[Saint]> Even iTunes, Rockbox can read from the iTunes database. << huh? i thought we only read through the id3 tags of all the audio files and ignore the itunes database altogether
12:12 < [Saint]> Yeah, I worded that really badly. And incorrectly :)
12:12 < [Saint]> I often forget we dont actually read the database, but rather just the metadata is left intact.
