MPEG player is not rebuffering

[kenjit]

I can play only 4 min of 27 min video.
The video has about 90mb. Dont know if rebuffering was removed or something like that... Im here only to report.
Im using Gigabeat F10.

Im using the latest build, from 2007-04-22 18:18. And the latest bootloader 21 april.

Are you sure you have the right build?  Firefox once played tricks on me by opening a much older revision.  Make sure your version is truly the latest revision.

i had the same problem as you. My video's would only play around 5 min and then stop and i had the newest bootloader and newest build. I tried doing a scan disk and doing a defragmentation's and it got better but i was only able to watch 30 min which is better then 5. I too have a gigabeat and cant seem to find the problem but odds you may have to try a scandisk (also make sure and double check everything is new)

**EDIT- i have just tried the mpeg player with the 21st april bootloader and the newest build and i get the same problem. i think our buffers are 29 mb and once it reaches that it just stops i think it does it for my music as well.

I have a similar problem on iriver H120. The synchronization between image and sound now works after the last code changes but the rebuffering does not. The player turns off (no, it does not freeze) after approximately 5 minutes of playback.

Hi,

could you try if this still happens when you disable the idle poweroff?

[pabouk]

Thank you PaulJam. It was the right idea. The video plays till the end when the idle poweroff function is deactivated. Anyway it is a bug. The idle poweroff should not be active when the video is playing.

The problem, and why it only shows up for some people, is that disk activity resets the idle counter. If your bitrate is high enough, or you haven't lowered your idle time and your total file bitrate is ~380 (rough, rough estimate by me, could be considerably less, but for example 256 video 128 audio) you'll probably spin the disk often enough to prevent idle shutdown, which is why it didn't happen for a lot of people.

But it's certainly a problem.

Yeah turning the idle poweroff i could play the full video =), ty for the help,

but now im having problem with mencoder, i have to close mencoder when the encoding is 99% cuz if it completes to 100% i cant play the video... when i open with mplayer or media player classic the pointer start at the end and it only plays the audio =/ if someone can help me... plz

Yeh same result, turning the idle power off, off worked perfectly and now everything is working with no problems
