Release ver 16416 has problems with skipping tracks?

<< < (3/4) > >>

TexasRockbox:
In a previous post this comment was offered:

"Although r16441 isn't perfect (and I do not have r16445 to check) "something" seems to have happened to file navigation between r16441 and r16452 (2/28/08 and 2/29/08) respectively.  Pointers or whatever seem to lose their way with quick file navigation and incorrect tags can be forced to be displayed for the playing track with r16452.  r16441 seems to be able to (eventually) get it right with quick navigation."

I looked at the dev notes between r16441 and r16452 and nothing seemed relevent to me -- a non-developer of the code.  I'm looking at this still and am doing what I can.  Perhaps the workarounds offer clues.

Llorean:
No, the workaround doesn't offer clues because it's simply "use an older version".

Why not view the SimpleGuideToCompiling page, and try the builds between 16441 and 16452 to narrow it down to a specific one?

TexasRockbox:
I'm hoping it might stimulate the memory of a developer who may have "tried something" which may have been thought innoucuous.  I understand the request for builds.

In other somewhat related topics, I offered other workarounds such as increasing limits, not using caches, etc.  I'm testing this, maybe other issues will be discovered.

I'm trying to help as best I can, if somewhat loudly.

The navigation speed seems to a be a progressing problem.  playback.c seems to be awfully busy in the last few months.

Llorean:
I just told you the best way you can help out. Pinpoint the exact build where the major problem was introduced.

TexasRockbox:
Build environment underway.

EDIT:
Build environment completed, Rockbox built, placed on ipod target and running.  Here we go.

EDIT:
Problem with truly quick file navigation appears to start with r15816.  r15815 seems OK -- not perfect but OK.

Now let's see where auto-change dir = "yes" problem begins.
