Sansa e260 freezes when I try to play a m4a podcast file
« on: October 18, 2008, 04:30:13 PM »
Hi everyone,

The title pretty much says it all. I tried installing the latest daily build but that doesn't seem to solve it (although I'm not 100% sure I installed it correctly). Other than that everything seems to work fine.
Any ideas?

Does the podcast have DRM?

How long is it? M4A:s somewhere over an hour long can cause this problem.

The podcast is a little over an hour long, and as far as I know doesn't have DRM, although I'm not sure how to check that.
So, if it's over an hour long there's nothing to be done about it?

Actually, the very latest build might allow it to play. If not, you could try optimizing the MP4 layout (e.g., using Foobar2000).

The latest build did indeed fix it!
