iPod Video 30GB 5.5g not charging in usb mode [SOLVED]

(1/5) > >>

Shovas:
Been googling and search the forums but my ipod won't charge in usb mode. I've tried the onboard ports and an externally powered usb 2.0 hub.

I use my ipod basically as a usb drive which I mount in linux and use like any other directory. Amarok plays the files off the file system.

This problem seems to have occurred in the last few months. Or maybe my battery is just dying.

Interestingly enough I can leave it mounted and, if music is not playing, it can charge up. It only drains if music is playing. I assume this means it doesn't have enough power to charge if the drive is spinning up.

However, in my car I use a griffin itrip which plays music constantly and battery has never been a problem.

Any ideas?

I have the same problem since my last update of the rockbox firmware.
My version is r20285 - 090311

is it a bug ?

Shovas:
Ah, interesting to hear. That gives me some hope it's just a regression in the latest codebase.

Maybe I should try an official release. I've been going with the bleeding edge so far.

bloodyraoul:
I have the same problem with the today's official build  :'(

saratoga:
Probably covered by FS#8802.
