Sansa E280 questions when connected to speaker system

<< < (2/3) > >>

GodEater:
There isn't a version 5.0 of Rockbox. Please double check which version you're using.

Are the files on an external SDHC card which the OF doesn't support ?

sleepystevenson:
Sorry, that was boot loader version 5.0.

Ok, Rockbox version is:  r19569-081223.

All files are on internal flash memory, I have no external card.

Chronon:
If you're sure that there are songs missing that were in the database previously then it sounds like a problem with the OF's database -- not simply a long time since the last OF database update.  I don't see a reason to suspect that Rockbox would cause a problem with the OF's database. 

BruceHP:
My guess is that some of the file were loaded using the Sansa in the MTP mode and some of the file are loaded using the MSC (never sure of this spelling) mode, the only mode Rockbox uses.  What happens if you start your player first and then dock it.

The remote features of my Timex dock don't work in Rockbox mode, and they even required a Sansa firmware update to work well while running the Sansa firmware.  Thus all said I can dock and use either firmware or connect to the headphone jack.

sleepystevenson:
Thanks for the help.

I am sure that there are songs missing.  When I load the OF, it shows 700 +/- songs, when I load Rockbox, there are 1200+ songs.  But, when I check the memory usage, both OF and Rockbox show the same amount used!  Weird.

Typically, when I dock it, it begins to load rockbox then automatically switches to the OF.  However, one time last night, it actually stayed with rockbox while docked.  (naturally the "skip" function on the remote wouldnt work, but that's a small price to pay to actually have access to ALL my tunes!)

So, looks like I am in the same boat as you, BruceHP.  Good call on updating the sansa firmware.  Will try that and see what happens.
