Sansa c250, on Random it will OFTEN play the same song 2x in a row

(1/3) > >>

jivetrky:
Alright, so I'm brand new to rockbox.  I got a Sansa c250 to use at my workplace.  There it will be playing about 1000 MP3's 24/7 in a small retail store.  I liked rockbox mainly because of the crossfade feature which makes random play a little nicer.  My problem (well at least the problem I'll post in this subforum; I have a couple of others) is that the player will play the same song right in a row.  It doesn't do it all the time but tonight in my 8 hour shift it did it maybe 6-8 times.

details:
RB fw:  r16859-080328
Sansa c250 w/ 2GB microSD card
Original fw version (does this matter?):  01.00.06A
playing in Shuffle mode with Repeat All option
Crossfade on (played with both 5in/5out and 10in/10out)
On AC power

Not sure what other info could possibly be needed so hopefully I got it all in there.

Thanks!

Rockbox shuffles a playlist, it doesn't randomly select songs. A song will only play twice if it shows up twice in the shuffled playlist, or if the playlist ends and by sheer change the new song is the first song of the reshuffle (if you've set it to reshuffle on repeat).

When a song repeats you can easily check the current playlist (there's always one, even if it's just the automatically generated dynamic one) to see if the song appears twice in it. Could it be possible that you have more than one of the same song on your disk? How exactly did you start playback and queue up all your songs?

NicolasP:
There currently is a bug in the playback engine where some songs are repeated: FS#8513. Any help in reproducing it would be greatly appreciated!

jivetrky:
I'd love to help out, unfortunately I have to get this thing back to work and playing music.   I think I might just have to go with the stock firmware for stability reasons  :(

I appreciate the help though!

I've noticed this same behavior, with nearly the same circumstances as the original poster (minus the repeat all setting).  I'll keep a close eye and see if I can consistently replicate it.
