Rockbox don't recognize an mp3 file

(1/3) > >>

Egor:
I have downloaded by streaming a mp3 file of the audio of a video on youtube.When I utilized the original firmware of my sansa e280 the file were recognized and I can listen it.But now, with Rockbox, it doesn't appear on the database and when I search it on "files" the player don't play the song and pass to another.I suppose that the problem is linked to the fact that the file has a bitrate like this "~0 kb/s".Someone can help me please?thanks in advance.

I have been having a similar problem for a few months now.  I listen to a podcast called "Stuff you should know" by HowStuffWorks.com.  The MP3s used to play fine on my Sansa e260 running Rockbox but stopped at some point.  Now when I attempt to play one of these files the player will ignore it and skip to another file.  Or in the case of no other available file I've had it open the voice recorder.  I listen to several other podcasts that play fine in Rockbox.  For some reason just this one does not.

The MP3s from this podcast play fine in VLC on my computer.  According the VLC's media info it is using the "mpga" codec, and is mono, 22050khz, 80kb/s.

My Rockbox Info is: Sansa e260 running r22610-090903

Did the *exact* same file stop playing, or did newer files by them stop working at some point? It's possible they started including something in the metadata that trips Rockbox up, that wasn't included before.

GodEater:
Can you give us a link to the file on that website so we can download and investigate ?

I did a little more reading through old posts.  I ran a chkdsk on the player and it's clean.  Also, per VLC there is no metadata at all, I don't have any other tools available to me here at work to check.  I also tried setting some metadata (artist & title) via VLC just as a test and that had no impact.

The feeds RSS URL is http://www.howstuffworks.com/podcasts/stuff-you-should-know.rss

A specific example would be http://podcasts.howstuffworks.com/hsw/podcasts/sysk/2009-09-01-sysk-us-dependent-cars.mp3

I currently have the last 7 episodes on my Sansa and none of them will play.

Thanks for the help.

Edit: Newer files do not work. (Sorry forgot to answer that question.)
