Database will not initialize....80G Ipod Video
« on: September 12, 2007, 11:04:00 PM »
Can't get the database to initialize on my 80GB Ipod Video.  Using the latest build but have had this problem on every build I've used.

The initialization just hangs at '0 Found'.  The other odd thing that happens, when rebooting, Rockbox only gets to 'Committing Database 1/9' before loading.

The database initializes fine with a minimal amount of music loaded on the Ipod.

Any thoughts?

Anything?  It's not critical but it'd be nice to use the db functionality.

It sounds like you have some files whose metadata structure is causing the parser to choke.  Maybe a binary search algorithm can help you find which file(s) caused this.  I.e. remove half of your files and try both halves separately.  Keep dividing the file sets in half until you can isolate which files are causing the process to fail.
