"Playlist control file is invalid"

(1/2) > >>

wintermute23:
I listen to a lot of podcasts, often long enough that I can't get through them in a single sitting (or I'm driving, and I'll go on to the next one, and stop listening when I get to work). I'm suer several of you are familiar with with the general idea.

Anyway, this morning or last night, I had a problem where, when I pressed "play", instead of going back to where I left off, it gave me a "playlist control file is invalid" error, and I had to scan through until I got to somewhere I recognised.

I was planning on asking for advice, but while I was typing something out here, I tried deleting nvram.bin (in the .rockbox folder), and letting Rockbox rebuild it, and that seems to have solved the problem. So I thought I'd leave a post anyway, in case other people have the same problem.

Moderators, feel free to delete this, if you feel it's a waste of time. I honestly don't know if I think it is, but after typing out the description I didn't want it to go to waste...

I think that error occurs when something related to how the playlists are managed gets changed...  Any time I've gotten it there was usually something done related to playback or playlist management.  I usually just start playing the last file I was playing over again and the next time I turn my player off and back on again later there's no problem.

wintermute23:
In this case, none of that helped.

karashata:
Sorry I couldn't be any help.  I just figured you might have needed some possible explanation, forgive me if I was wrong.

wintermute23:
No, I figured the NVRAM got corrupted or wasn't getting written to properly, and I was mostly posting so that others could try the same solution, if they needed to. But your advice would be worth taking first.
