Ipod 5G No files

Hello all.  First off, RockBox rules!  

But I am having some problems.  I installed the latest build about a week ago...that was the 5th of December or so.  Today it started screwing up...The battery went dead, it shut down, I charged it.  Afterwards, I clicked, 'resume playback' and it said there were no files.  I went to 'files' and then my music folder and there was nothing there.  The database was there, but it wouldn't play any music that it had listed.  I restarted a few times with no luck.  I let it sit and voila, my files are back.  But now it's done it again.  

Any help out there?

Peace

melancholydm:
you should post what player you got and what version of rockbox. btw latest build isnt a week ago, you should try updating and see if the problem persists

AquaStreak:
I think there is a new build everyday (or at least most days) so always try updating Rockbox.

Also, if you added the songs to your iPod via iTunes (for play in the iPod firmware), then they will be under database; not "Files".

cool_walking_:
There is a new "current build" with every change to the source (multiple times a day - see the "Subversion" table on the front page).

Try doing a filesystem check. Connect your iPod to a computer, and:

For Windows:
Go to "My Computer" -> Right-click on your iPod drive -> "Properties" -> "Tools" tab -> "Check Now" button under "Error Checking" -> Check both the checkboxes and click "Start".

For Linux (might work on other *nixes such as Mac OS X, I don't know):
As root, do "fsck.vfat -at /dev/sda2" at a shell, where /dev/sda2 is your iPod file partition.

Also, since the files on your iPod are disappearing, it would seem wise to back them up.

Alright...thanks for the info...

I just unzipped a current build into my player, the same as installation...is this a good way?

As for checking the files, I did the commands in a linux terminal and i get this.

dennis@Delphi:~$ sudo fsck.vfat -at /media/DEEZ
[sudo] password for dennis:
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
open /media/DEEZ:Is a directory

Is that what we're looking for here?


Thanks
