Freezing screen/controls, continues playing

[dst]

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

[sadffffff]

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..
