Playback issues - iPod 5.5G 80GB

(1/3) > >>

I recently updated my rockbox software to the 11/04/07 build. Last version I had was the 8/30/07 build (i think). FLAC plays fine, MP3s play ok, AAC playback halts every 20 secs or so (moreso with active use like using the wheel), OGG stops every 5-10 seconds. Seems like I'm not the only one having these problems. Where can I get old builds so I can fix this strange issue?

Chronon:
Using an old build doesn't fix anything.  The most helpful thing is to document what conditions reliably reproduce the problem and then provide some feedback to the appropriate bug report.  Search to see if a bug report exists for this already and post there.  Otherwise you may file a new bug report.

If you don't wish to help with testing and bug reporting then you can find a list of recent daily builds linked from the "current builds" page.  However, situations like this provide an excellent opportunity to contribute something back to the development process.  You are encouraged to continue testing current builds to help squash bugs.  Also, when reporting please include what revision you're using, not just the date.

kedz83:
thank you for your reply. I would definitely look into that. I think inquiring about problems specific to playback on this forum makes it easier for people to find what the answers are. I would report it on the bug page with sufficient amount of information. But since I have vague information on the problem due to the lack of collecting and actively problem solving, I'd rather have the basics on here.

Today's update (11/5) has helped with playback when idle, but when accessing the files (filebrowser and metadata search artist, album, etc) it pauses for about 2-3 seconds every 5 or so seconds. havent tested with mp3 files, so i can't verify that it's like that with all filetypes. But yesterday it has been shows that some filetypes are worse than others.

I hope this information helps with end-users and devs.

Thank you for your time in reading this.

-EDIT-

AAC files still do stall a bit. 128kbps files don't do it as much, but anything over, especially 320, stops every couple seconds.

Chronon:
Discussion of problems is certainly allowed.  Just don't expect that a developer is going to address issues brought up in the forums.  Proper bug reports should go on the tracker to receive attention from the developers.  The forums are certainly useful in discussing problems and figuring out if it's a widespread issue or just a problem with a particular person's settings or player.

The player I'm using right now skips (H120) skips on 320kbps AAC as well, but I guess this is to be expected, according to the CodecPerformanceComparison page.

countach:
My iPod 5.5 80Gb can't play APE files. The pause is about 2 secs. every 3 secs.

I think this is not a bug, but a lack of power of the processor. Even my laptop gets some pretty CPU usage when playing APE files with foobar...


So, 320K mp3 will done fine.  :)
