change to next directory feature not reliable??

(1/2) > >>

cosmocat:
I use rockbox for quite some years on my H140.

I rarely use the "change to the next directory" feature with the pad by pressing shortly the RIGHT button then a long press in the RIGHT button.

But for the few times I use this feature, I think that there is a little bug because rockbox crash approximately 3 times for 5 tries. When the player is crashed, it try to read on the harddrive (because the light is turned on) and never stop. And the player don't react to any button pressed (even the play or stop button long press).

Obviously, I have tried lots of differents rockbox version (and it's quite an old bug...).

If someone can confirm or reproduce the bug....

thanks in advance for your answers.

Hey this is a feature I didn't know about.  I just looked in the manual and wiki, but I cant find anything about it, how did you find out about this?  It doesn't seem to crash for me (ipod 4g grayscale), I'll definitely make use of this one!

Mikerman:
This is a feature of the original iRiver H1xx firmware, that some of us really lobbied for with Rockbox--luckily, some devs. agreed.  It is greatly handy for 1-handed operation.

JdGordon:
its not nesacceraly that its not realiable.. It only works if you play a directory, inserting any tracks during the life of the playlist will disable this, as will moving tracks around (i think).

LinusN:
Well, if it hangs the player, I'd definitely call it "unreliable".  :)
