every other time i run rockbox on my player the directory cache loads and then i go to play a file and then the directory cache just turns off. i am running a current build and did chkdsk/f and i disabled, rebooted, enable, let scan, then rebooted, since my "fix." and it still does. it. anybody else having this problem? these screendumps are taken within a minute

Try seeing if having less files on your player causes the problem to stop.

I am having this problem as well.  Earlier I was just annoyed with the fact that my ipod would have to scan the disk every other time the player was turned on but I have learned to live with that and chalked it up to the ipod just not knowing if any files have been added since last time it was turned on.  

Now however I have discovered that just about every other boot of the player, the dircache does not work period, exactly like you have described.  I do not know if it works before a file is played because I have my player set to resume play, so I just always notice it not working from the boot.  It seems that whenever rockbox scans the disk upon turning the player on is when dircache works.  The times it does not scan the disk are when I notice dircache not working.

I also have a large number of files (>10k).

ah ha im not crazy !!. i am currently removing unnecessary files  that i dont need on my  player and going to see if i can get to at least 8k songs. I think GodEater has 8k files i think and he said he does not have this problem.

Alright I have less then 6000 songs on my player and this problem has stopped. squidkidd, Could you try this also? Thanks. and then after you remove some songs then disable dircache , reboot, enable dircache, let scan, then reboot again. this will fix it.

Once I ever get some free time I might see if this works, though I don't see how this fixes it if it still does it with a large number of files on the player.  Is this a bug, does it need to go on the tracker?

Brian
