Gigabeat F40 freezes on .ogg files
buckw:
I have a Gigabeat F40 running version r19888.090130. I am not using the database feature. On certain .ogg files, the player freezes immediately (zero time elapsed), and must be restarted by switching the battery switch. It is a specific set of files that cause the freeze, and not all .ogg files have the same effect--some play fine. When converted to mp3, the files cause no problem. I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks.
Chronon:
If you have files that reliably crash Rockbox then I'm sure this would be of interest to the developers. You should file a bug report and post a sample file or two somewhere for them to check.
Lear:
This can happen if the files were created with a really old version of the encoder library (called beta 4), and perhaps only if the bitrate is low.
Serenity:
I've also had this issue on a few .ogg files playing on my iPod 5.5 80GB. Of course, when I get my "data abort" error and Rockbox locks up, I'm usually too busy to fiddle with it. If I can get consistent results, I'll try to post a couple files.

This even seems to happen on fairly high bit rate .ogg files. I have opened a bug in flyspray if anyone cares to have a look.
