Ipod 5.5 gen, new install of rockbox. The screen freezes, the control freeze but the music continues to play. Only does this when listening to album for awhile.
-
It does this with default settings ?
-
This also happens to me and Ive the same model but I always put it down to having it on hold but either way ive left it play alone for a while.
-
I have similar behavior with my iPod as well. It only happens occasionally, but nonetheless, it happens, usually requiring me to reset the system with MENU+SELECT. It seems to happen often when listening to LAME-encoded MP3s at high-quality VBR settings.
It may or may not be a bug, but I'm not filing any bug report unless a lot of users report this same problem.
-
I've had this happen twice, both times I do believe I was playing a v0 mp3.
-
Default, yes. Except for a theme I installed to help with the way-too-small text.
This happens everytime I play music, at different times though and I never catch it. I can't reset it or anything the pad is frozed.

Has this been reported yet becuase its a chronic problem and really spoiling my enjoyment of this software.
-
I did say only occasionally, meaning it's a rare occurance. My iPod has been rock solid and stable otherwise.

As I've reported in other threads, I have this problem on occasion with Rockbox on a 30Gb (5th Gen) iPod Video. I'm currently running a build of Rockbox which I downloaded around 8:00 PM Pacific time on Thursday night. Thursday, I played music fine without any freezing...Friday started out good, but then I had it freeze twice and require the menu+select reboot. I was blaying MP3's ripped at 128KBPS, with VBR disabled. Who knows, maybe my iPod just didn't like the Dokken record I was playing. :)
-
have never had this problem in my 4gb nano. my build is a few months old. i'll update and see if i have any issues
-
still no issues with the new build.
-
Try this out: Go to Settings -> General Settings -> System -> Idle Poweroff, then set idle poweroff completely off.
I did this earlier, and the lockups have stopped entirely.

Based on what LambdaCalculus said I was thinking this might be in powermgmt.c. @any developer/coder reading this I don't know what I'm talking about at all on power managementb (can't stress that enough), but I was thinking just looking at it that taking out (audio_stat == (AUDIO_STATUS_PLAY | AUDIO_STATUS_PAUSE)) in that if statement that makes sure it's not turning off a playing player and of course cleaning up the parentheses afterwards at around line 647 in handle_auto_poweroff might do the trick. There is a 90% chance that I'm completely wrong in every way here, but just on that 10% chance..
