Release ver 16416 has problems with skipping tracks?

(1/4) > >>

beatnik:
On my Sansa e260 I am frequently unable to skip tracks. Most of the time when I am able to make it work it skips to the next file but would not got to the file after that. Sometimes after I try to skip a track it locks up and I have to either turn it off (if that works) or wait until it shuts down due to idle.

It worked fine with the last release I had I updated it for the better video player. (which I like a lot) I do not remember what release it was but it was before the Video player update about 2-3 months ago.

As was said in another post to do a clean install (which I did in the first place) I did again and am now certain it is something with this current build. Unless I can find an old release before the video player upgrade. I might install it and wait until a new release is out with a fix to this problem as it is not a trivial bug I can deal with but it directly affects the audio play otherwise Everything else works great.

Thanks for reading my post Rockbox just Rocks and I am able to use 3 times the features available  with my Sansa's factory firmware. I just want this Awesome firmware to work again. Anyone else with a Sansa e series have this problem or have a solution to it?

Thanks

I cannot replicate this problem with revision 16416.

Could you provide additional details about how to replicate the problem?  Are you using the file browser or the database?  What types of files are you playing?  Does the problem happen with all of your music, or just certain tracks/directories/albums?

Here are some other things that you might want to try:

1.  Resetting your settings using Settings --> Manage Settings --> Reset Settings.

2.  Using chkdisk or an equivalent utility to make sure that there are no file system errors on your disk.

beatnik:
I am using the file browser. After I cleared my settings it worked for a bit but it went back to the same problems. Are you suggesting using chkdisk on the sansa disk?

 After I run chkdisk If it does not fix the problem, I will do a clean install and if that doesn't work I will even reload my files. I did check to see if it was a new file that was messed up but it was not it was happening to all files even those that played fine with the last build I had installed.

As of now even though I am using the cabbiev2 theme I still have maybe three themes with .wps that were downloaded. (from this site of course) When I reinstall I will not install anything extra as I like the default settings and have no need for anything else.

Thank you for your QUICK and helpful response BTW

edit: I just got release 16417 and will install this release after your responce. I will install it clean and only with the voice addon.

Strife89:
For the clean install, you can copy game saves and scores, plugin settings, etc., from your old build, but don't copy any files that are not "already" in the root of /.rockbox (i.e., your database, main Rockbox settings, and so on).

By the way, I've been using r16399 for a couple of days. It's been working nicely. :)

beatnik:
I could not find release 16399 as the current releases seam to not be archived like the daily builds (I would assume that is because they are the same build with the exception of a few non needed features) are but I tried the next highest daily build with no results, maybe i should have tried the one below it. . So I decided to try a newer release daily build #16441 and to my surprise, IT WAS FIXED!

So I took a chance and installed that days current release #16445 and it worked and it also had all the nice looks of the current builds icons and such. Now I am confident in saying that it at least worked for me and I would suggest if you have this problem try it out it worked for me but asive herd some people the problem never occurred and like posted above a different release fixed it for someone else. So all i can think of for others if the newest does not fix the broblem for you just try random daily builds and I hope you wil find one that works. Hopefully they have noticed the probelem and have fixed it and from now on it will be fine. So for me I wont be updating again untill they get full usb support for the Sansa E series as that is the ONLY think I believe they are working on.

They say that have made charging work for the current releases but as of now it seams to work but after i unplug, it freezes with a bunch of artifacts on the screen. So I still use the OF to charge.

Its amazing to me what they are able to do with this thing its 5 times more powerful than the first computer I had when I was 13. Good old 386 with 12 mb ram I had to trick that effer out but I was able to run win95 with no problems so who knows what they might be able to squeeze out a this thing. I would love to see more programs its just too bad its limited by the controls having only 5 buttons (6 with power) and a wheel there still is possibilities.  

Thank you everyone for trying to help out on this one. Hopefully future releases wont have this problem on the Sansa E series. Good luck and also thank you developers for making this available, it makes the Sansa 10 times better I really would not have liked it without Rockbox you guys Rock.

P.S. Also if anyone has a Sansa im no pro but if you PM me I will Gladly try to help you.
