Songs Freeze during Playback

[GodEater]

Things are likely to remain a little unsettled in the area of playback for a good week or two whilst MoB settles down into the codebase. It is being worked on, rest assured.

If it's off topic you should've started a new thread. Or at the VERY least looked in the manual, because generally speaking we do update that as well...

I believe it was the 0.5 update at the time.  Or maybe even 0.6, because as I recall it came out right after.  I don't really remember.  Not important.

It is fairly important, as only the correct version will work as you expect.

The point is that you don't need to stick with an old build for this feature, as it is in the bootloader not a build.

Well duh.  I meant it wasn't important when I made that post to remember the exact version of the bootloader.  If memory serves me, 0.5 was the first version which disabled the database rebuild, and therefore this would have also been coded into 0.6.  However, perhaps it was version 0.6.  It doesn't really matter to me now as I'm obviously going to use the most recent version that I have, which in this case is 0.6.

No, I just have to stick with an older build to avoid the keymap changes.

Are we done now?

Stop hijacking threads to complain about the button changes.

Are we done now?

I sincerely hope you are.

Can everybody else who posts here do me (and many others) a favor.  If you're talking about the playback freeze problem, please speak up by all means.  If you're talking about ANYTHING else please post elsewhere.  I'm sure I'm not the only one watching this thread for news regarding this issue.  I don't care if you hate the new keymap.  I don't care if you love the new keymap.  I don't care if your keypad is broken.  I'll be happy to read whatever your write - just post it in another thread (like perhaps the several going around regarding the keymap change).

Thanks.  And I'm not assigning blame either way here - the initial question that started the topic drift was probably honest enough, but lets take the discussion elsewhere...

I'll acknowledge rich0's wishes by stating that I'm also getting odd playback issues on my iPod video.

I tried selecting a FLAC file for playback from an album, but instead the next song in the folder starts playing. When I go back to the file menu (hitting SELECT from the WPS), selecting the proper song causes Rockbox to freeze up, forcing me to hard reset (MENU + SELECT). This happens if the first song in question is still playing.

And it's not just FLAC files that cause this. I'm also getting this behavior from Vorbis files. The FLAC files I tried were FLAC-8, while the Vorbis files are Q5 VBR; I encoded them using CDex 1.71 beta 2.

This started happening with r15493, but I'm going to update to a current build later on and test again.

Does this still happen with recent build? I think it should be fixed but confirmation is always welcome

Good hussle Nic, my player is golden with r15553.  Merci!

[celer]

The latest build seems to have fixed this for me!

I am using r15635 and I seem to be having all sort of freezing issues in my Sansa e280. Some times I can get it to play a song sometimes it freezes before playing somtimes it works for 10 minutes ... regardless it freezes freely now.

I wasn't having any problems till about three weeks ago when I upgraded to a newer version of rockbox. I am gonna see if I can switch to an older build.

I was having terrible freezing problems with my e-280 until I reformatted and reloaded the memory.  I used "sansa.fmt" as discussed elsewhere.  Now I have no more problems.

I update to the daily build almost every day, before and after I reformatted, and the reformat seemed to do the trick for me.
