Testing the IRiver Port
Introduction
This page is an effort to document the progress of the IriverPort from
a users perspective. It mainly concentrates on the ability of
Rockbox to play different codecs and is more detailed than the
status on SoundCodecs (and thus
more realistic).
Furthermore it tries to keep up with all the other features which
start working from day to day. At the time of writing, iHP-120/140 is
very functional! The amount of functions available in the IriverPort
is way too much to be tested in a single test session (unless you want
to invest several hours).
On a regular base the daily builds will be run through a set of tests
to give an overview about which feature works and which leads to an
illegal instruction or a complete crash of your DAP. Don't forget to
check the IriverFAQ for an higher overview.
How to test
For now the test is simple: the build will be installed and booted.
Then every function mentioned below will be tried at least once, with
the results written into the tables below. There will be no test of
functions found in the debug menu since this is a restricted area.
There is no timescale or rythm for testing, though at least one test a
week should be done.
Feel free to extend the list of functions to test. If they are
non-trivial, please add some information on how to test them.
Test Setup
These are the settings I currently test with: testing.cfg
I use this WPS: Moxon.wps. It is derived
from the WpsGallery, all hails go to the authors there.
I create testfiles with this: generateTestfiles.rb
I use IriverBoot version 5
Test result
This results do NOT imply any warranty and will most probably
contain errors!. If you brick your player, you simply should not have
tried it at home!
The results below refer to the following build:
daily 20050911
diff to last test
(Changes: check the daily build download page)
Improvements:
Since the last test on this page referred to a build from 2005-07-20, the changes are numerous.
- Replaygain
- FM Radio
- Many WPS improvements (like better conditionals!)
- Voice UI added for iRivers
- OGG/Flac are playing now
- Flac has proper bookmarking now, so we have MP3, FLAC, OGG and WV as full supported codecs (referring to the table below).
Problems/Bugs:
- No bigger problems found.

| Recording | - | Well, this is a debug menu entry, but I couldn't resist testing it! Overwrites old files once reentered through the menu, records both with internal mic and line in (optical in anyone?) |
| FM-Radio | | Can select frequency, and plays. No list of stations or other 'conveniences' |
| SPDIF Input | - | Anyone to test this? |
| SPDIF Output | | with correct validity flag, every DAC i´ve tried works now! |
| Remote Control | | Displays RBX logo only, but buttons are functional enough to do blind navigation |
| Load a plugin while playing music | | checked stopwatch, snow, sokoban and some other random ones |
