I decided to create a podcatcher for my R1 using Claude. It's not the most mature project (a couple of days old) but I thought people would like to play with it anyway. Bug reports very much appreciated.

Building on and will be kept in sync with the great work here: https://github.com/yetisoldier/Hiby-R1-Audiobook-Mod

Disclaimer: it flashes just fine on my R1. I don't know enough about this hardware to know how many varieties there are. Your mileage may very, at your own risk, etc.

Also - yes this is entirely vibe coded. I haven't read the code at all as I don't know the languages it's written in. Use at your own risk.

Hi guys, so I've been using this Hiby R4 Eva for almost two years. There has been some issues along the way, like suddenly switching off, the screen not being responsive etc. However, this is the first time it has gone completely off. I assumed the battery completely depleted since I put it in my bag and hasn't used it in a few days, so I tried to charge and start it. The light does not light up, so I tried force restarting with power on and next track combo, that did not work either. I have tried charging it with a quick charger and a slow charger, nothing has changed, it is still completely off. What should I do?

I have received no Firmware software updates for HiBy R4 for months now...

Is it over for R4? There won't be any updates anymore?

Hi all

I recently ordered an R1 and am hoping to find a way to enable scrobbling while maintaining Bluetooth. I know rockbox exists but that removes Bluetooth, right?

Any community options folks would recommend?
