quick question: should i update?

<< < (2/2)

Back when the builds were "flaky" quite some time ago now...  Gosh, I can't remember even close to when it was anymore, date or revision numbers...  I started keeping two copies of the Rockbox builds, the most recent one I knew worked well enough and the very most recent one, both named with the revision numbers on them, that way if the most recent ended up being a dud, I had a working backup.  Lately, I've not needed the backup, but I still do it out of habit, since it's only a very small portion of hard drive space taken up and a few seconds to add the revision number to the file name.

I usually only needed 5 minutes to tell if a build was good, since that's the longest I could get it to play before it crashed/stalled/whatever, the builds were that iffy back whenever that was again...

Just today I've noticed my iPod Video 80GB is now losing its settings after shutting down...

...but I've since discovered it had nothing to do with the build but was in fact due to an error on my drive that chkdsk reported:

\.rockbox\config.cfg is cross-linked on allocation unit 363377.

No wonder it was having problems retaining the config!

I suspected that might be the case as the last time I had a slight issue following the use of an updated build, there was an obvious fix posted a couple of builds later.
