Todays Daily build has an error concerning dividing by 0

This applies to the 30gig video ipod.  I don't know about the other builds.

Hopefully this is now solved in the latest current builds.

Lol hang on - But you can't divide by zero....  

[axlgreasetires]

Yeah that's why it's an error.

I experienced this problem as well with the sansa e200 running the current build. I was playing music and useing the file veiwer and everything stopped working, It wouldn't even turn off. The screen was showing "Divide by zero at 0005A8A0 (0)". I have installed todays current build and will see if this happens again.

It is much more useful to the developers if you provide a revision number instead of saying "current build".  Even more preferable is if you can provide a clear recipe to reproduce the error.

I don't know how to get the revision number. I think it might be r18426-080905. It was fairily recent since I only put rockbox on my mp3 player a week ago. I also havent been able to see if I can reproduce it because the error lock up my mp3 player and I had to wait for the battery to die before it would turn off. Then the rockbox charger locked up and I had to wait until by battery died again before I could do another charge with the sansa charger. If I find anything else out I will poast it.



I fuigured out how to make it again. go into file veiwer on your e200 with show all files on. Go into system, data, and then there is a .HDR file. open it with text editor and scroll down. when you are almost all the way down it gives you a divide by zero error.

That is the revision number (as indicated by the leading "r"): the first part up to the dash is the revision number, the second part is the build date.

In the future, if your sansa crashes, you can force a reboot by holding down the power button for 15 seconds:
