[FiiO]

  Anyone have info on this? Posted over at the Fiio site with no response.
 
Fiio, are you currently working on a way to display track information over Bluetooth to car stereos? I have a 2017 Subaru WRX (Fujitsu Head Unit) that displays no information. Please let me know if you need anymore information and thank you!
 
Also, FLAC files are not showing up on DLNA QNAP server!

Dear mesabassman,
 
Thank you for your feedback to us. The issues you reported exist in X7. We are trying to analyse the reason and fixing the problem in later firmware if possible.
 
Sorry for bringing inconvenience to you.

  I have the same album and the same problem with the display of text:
 
The album artist should read: Sigur Rós
The album title should read: Ágætis Byrjun
 
They display as shown in CH23's picture. (Curiously the text displays correctly in folder view. However, the artist is out of order, but that is a problem even with artists and albums that do not include accented or other foreign characters.) 

Another name that doesn't display properly is Arvo Pärt - the "ä" still shows as a Chinese character.

 

[CH23]

after painstakingly going through my music, i managed to make a list of tracks that don't display correctly (which i will add to this post later. cleaning up the list now)

what I did notice in the track sorting of everything, is that tracks containing a forward slash (/) will be at the bottom, instead of at the position they should be
A
B
C
---
X
Y
Z
# <---there

I also noticed that tracks containing spaces or dots can come at any order:
aaabbba
aaa bbb
aaabbb
 
the correct order for above list should be
aaa bbb
aaabbb
aaabbbc
 
tracks or artists containing ö followed by y will show up as a chinese character. same goes for some other letters containing Tréma (double dots, like ï ö ü ë ä, etcetera)

The following artists show up wrong:
Concrète Sound System (èt turns to chinese character)
Röyksopp (öy turns to chinese character)
Sigur Rós (ós turns to chinese character)

The following albums show up wrong:
Medúlla (úl turns to chinese character)
Premiers Symptômes [ep] (ôm turns to chinese character)
Radio - Aktivität (ät
turns to chinese character)
Wärme - Cosmic Love (är turns to chinese character)
Ágætis Byrjun (Ág AND æt show up as 2 chinese characters)
 

 

[CH23]

 
this is a selection of the tracknames that show up as they shouldn't
below, in order, the tracknames as they are:
18 Sekúndur Fyrir Sólarupprás
72°S 149°E
80°S 96°E
Dauðalogn
Geigerzähler
Heimatklänge

[size=small]1. Added Gapless playback function[/size]
[size=small]2. Added manually switching folders when Play through folders was set to on[/size]
[size=small]3. Added support to M4A format with HE-AAC coding[/size]
[size=small]4. Added ViPER Effect without network limit[/size]
[size=small]5. Fixed issue of impulsive sound resulting from switching songs when ViPEF Effect was set to on.[/size]
[size=small]6. Fixed issue of wrong sequence of playlists on interface after clicking the play button[/size]
[size=small]7. Fixed issue of noise when playing 352.8kHz/DXD format files[/size]
[size=small]8. Fixed issues of abnormal exiting and playlist resulting from Resume playback[/size]
[size=small]9. Fixed issue of scan failure resulting from large cover of some songs[/size]
[size=small]10. Fixed issue of wrong order of albums after clicking the play button or using Resume playback.[/size]
[size=small]11. Fixed issue where tracks would be repeated within one loop at shuffle play mode;[/size]
[size=small]12. Fixed issue where some track names were displayed incorrectly[/size]
[size=small]13. Fixed issue where the device couldn't go to sleep mode without playing after power-on;[/size]

[size=small]Note:[/size]
[size=small]1. As for the ViPEF Effect, the network connection is just needed at your first purchase, but not after that. [/size]
[size=small]The X7 should connect to netwrok again for making ViPEF Effect be available if after factory data reset or flashing the X7 via firmware upgrade tool. [/size]
[size=small]It might take a little time to boot the ViPEF Effect because it is placed on the server in China at this time.[/size]

Gapless works great.
 
Scanning large libraries with embadded Cover Art is still fubar.

i thought so from the 2 other threads in which you also commented that

time to play some gapless requiring albums.

I only posted in the main X7 thread so I'm not sure of your point.

  So @JamesFiiO  I see your spending your time on the new X5iii thread.  How about answering a question for me.  I see there's a new beta firmware released on your chinese site.  It doesn't mentioned anything about fixing the scanning issue of large libraries.  The only workaround is removing embedded cover art.
 
Do you guys plan on addressing this?  If so, when?  If not please let us know so we can move on to something else.  It's getting old waiting week after week for a fix and nothing comes.  

 

  For those of you interested Gapless works great with the new FW3.1.1 beta.  
 
Scanning large libraries with embedded Cover Art still isn't working.

 

/img/forum/go_quote.gif

And it still doesn't scan all tracks with embedded cover art if you have large libraries.  Stops at the same point as it has for the last 5 or 6 beta versions.  Without cover art embedded in each track it scans all tracks just fine.

I sent my log file from the crash folder to support@fiio.net.

 
the above is my point.

I understand you want this fixed, and it should be. but I don't think this is the way to go about it.

First of all the first post was before the beta was available to us and I was asking James a question.  Then I post once in this thread and once in the main thread to let people with the same problem know.  Then you quote me from fiio.me site where fiio requested bug reports be posted.

alright, sorry.

I apologise then.

Again, don't get me wrong. I completely understand the frustration of having to change your stuff because the 800$ device doesn't even do stuff a 50$ sansa clip will.

Apology accepted.  The X7 is getting there I just wished they would convey to us where they stand with this scanning issue and whether or not they believe they can fix it.

Presumably the X5III will have to run this same firmware and the X5III release is imminent (as denoted also by the 3.1.1 and not 3.0.x)
I think this is now starting to become "urgent" for FiiO to get this firmware done.
 
From a market perspective, the X7 and now X5III are their first foray into the wonders of Android, and its a steep learning curve to adapt Android to your own liking (my company has done this).
 
Sony is the only other player whose devices I have tried in this space that do full android. Astell and Kern uses it, but theirs is unrecognizable as Android anymore, and they are hopeless on OS X, so I got rid of mine.
 
So, this is a big learning curve, but I also believe time is running out before the new X5III launches and folks have no choice but to run it.
 
Im actually now in a spot where I am looking to possibly switch:
If Astell and Kern enabled proper USB Mass storage I will defect.
If Sony starts to support playlists that included songs in multiple storage locations I will defect.
If FiiO fixes this stuff then there is no reason to move.
