FiiO X1 firmware version 1.22beta download and discussion thread

FiiO-Shadow

Beta firmware version 1.22beta for the X1 is now available!
http://121.199.40.94/UploadFiles/main/Firmware-and-driver/X1/X1FW1.22Beta.zip

The following changes and improvements were made to firmware 1.22 compared to 1.21:
1. Added option to play through folders: ie automatcially skipping to the first song in the next folder after the
last song in the current folder.
2. When option to play through folders is enabled, pressing Previous on the first track of the current folder will
skip to the last track in the previous folder.
3. Added option to delete a whole folder.
4. Added support for exFAT card format (firmware updates still need to be performed using a FAT32-formatted
card)
5. Non-music files generated when a card is accessed by an Apple / Linux computer are now hidden and do not affect browsing.
6. Fixed issue where some songs are shown with incorrect Genre on the X1.
7. Fixed known issue in 1.21 where the player would hang if the Shortcuts key was pressed while adjusting a  named EQ preset other than Custom. (Now brings up dialog for reseting the preset as intended)
8. Miscellaneous bugfix regarding playlists in Chinese.

Please note the following:
1. This is a development beta. Please consider carefully whether you want to upgrade to it. (You can always downgrade back to any previous version)
2. Problems encountered with this firmware may be posted to this thread--please keep the main X1 thread free from clutter regarding bugs on beta firmware.
3. To avoid public misunderstanding, please refrain from posting about bugs and problems with the beta firmware outside this beta firmware discussion thread.

Looking forward to everyone's feedback!

not yet. I think it won't be too long to see that new firmware to break the limit.

Pls select one file which you want to delete to play firstly, then press the shortcut button(upper left), It will provide the menu option, and pls use the scroll whell or 'Next' buttons to select the rightmost icon 'Trash'. Then you can delete this files.
Because end users can't delete files in batches in the X1 directly, it will be suggested to delete bulk files by the computer.
Similarly, if you want to delete one folder, pls move the cursor to the certain folder by the scroll wheel, then press shortcut button, to make your choice.

When the folderplay feature will be added to new firmware ?
It is important not only for me, but for many users !

Today it was lagged for a couple of seconds when I was updating media and I plugged in my headphones so it asked me for the right audio output choice.

Hi, maybe you set the 'Select output' to lineout, not headphone output? Pls check and confirm it.

Hello,

Bought an X1 with firmware version 1.2. Created a playlist on the device which it named "Playlist1" by default and added songs. Now I cannot delete this playlist. I've tried deleting every song from the playlist and then deleting the playlist and it just shows a little circle with a line through to the right it when I try to delete it. When I click on the playlist itself, it says "File not found".

In addition, I've managed to create an external playlist but it won't show up in my Playlists (I have to go to "Browse Files" to locate my external .m3u8 playlist at the bottom). I've tried reformatting the card and re-adding all my songs/files and this hasn't resolved the issue. I've tried upgrading to the latest beta (1.22) and still nothing.

Please help.

A few things:

1. There's currently an issue with folders that have no songs in them, where the player hangs and needs to be reset via the pinhole. I have a few folders with music and inside them were folders containing covers. After I deleted the covers folders the player stopped hanging (at first I thought it was because of the single-file flac albums being too large). This issue should be fixed to simply skip files and folders that are not or have no audio.

2. For some reason cued files don't play gapless. I have single-file flac albums, gapless is enabled, yet there's a pause between the songs.

3. There should be a "stop after current" setting in the play menu, among the Fav. icon and the various play modes.

Hello,

1. Here is the instruction to guide how to delete the playlist created on the device: With the list of playlists displayed, pressing the Shortcuts key shows the option to delete playlists. If this option is selected, you press the Previous / Next key to select a playlist for deletion and press OK to confirm deletion.

2. Kindly be noted that, only the playlists created by the X1 directly can be recognized in the Category selection. And they have the special naming rules.
When going access to "Category" - "Playlist", the system can't recognize the external playlist because the external playlists' names are different each other, and it may make system frozen if the inner playlists and external ones are mixed together. So in order to keep the system running smoothly, we will not fix it. Hope you can understand!

Hi, the second function '2. When option to play through folders is enabled, pressing Previous on the first track of the current folder will skip to the last track in the previous folder' is not the one you want?

Hi, you want to enable the function of playing through folders, right? Pls go access to 'Play settings' -> 'Play through folders', to set it ON firstly, then try to play tracks again.

Yes. It was selected "Line Out" but the problem was the lag until the player reacted!
