General Problems with using RockBox- really slow- often jams

(1/2) > >>

og1kinoge:
Just wanted to know whether there is something I can do to fix this. Rockbox often takes a while to play once a file has been selected for playing i.e. in file view. My ipod (5G Video 80GB) often freezes on the wps and can take up to a minute to actually start playing. I usually compound the problem by pressing play then pause then play ... trying to get it to start playing. However even when I am disciplined and wait patiently it can still take ages to work!!! Is this behaviour normal for RockBox??

I really want to use Rockbox as my firmware but I don;t think I can put up with these delays and freezes.

Any suggestions?

Llorean:
What revision of Rockbox are you using?

og1kinoge:
Do you mean Version? if yes Version: 3.2-090323

Llorean:
And by "a minute" do you mean a literal 60 seconds? Have you tried resetting the settings to default?

Slowness and jamming are indicators that you have a stoner on your hands.  Don't panic, because stoner rock is awesome music.

With my iPod Video, I noticed a delay and disk spinning when playing the first song after booting, or when I suddenly "play" a file that wasn't in the playlist, but this was probably 2 seconds at most, and generally much less (although I never felt the need to time it).
