;-) yes
another MP4 player!
Foehn & Hirsch H16 Sleek Screen MP4 Player 4GB 3.0" TFT Screen Rk2705 and Rockbox.
You can use Rockbox on this player using the rk27xx reference build unmodified.
I have modified a standard cabbie theme to the rk27xx 240x400 layout, music plays very well in fact better quality than the OF using playfx. Many plug-ins also work including Coverflow and Lyricplayer.
To do this I had created base.rkw from rockbox.bin using alemaxx patching tool and placed in the original firmware (.img) image.
Please bear in mind if you try this:-
1) Soft shutdown does not work so you need to use the mechanical on/off switch to turn the
player off, other rk27xx players may not even have this option.
2) You cannot go back to the original firmware unless you open the player and
short out the nand pins to get back into update mode, some players are difficult
to open without damage.
3) No flash memory access from Rockbox or USB transfer, but a 8GB microSD
works fine.
4) Only 5 out of the 6 buttons work, but Rockbox only requires 5 anyway.
5) There is no FM radio option or recording.
In spite of the above overall I have found Rockbox much better than the original firmware, but it might be worth hanging on ‘til the above issues are resolved. ;-)
