Which version is best for Ipod mini G2 ??

[Altenza]

Hi

Every time I upload a new version the problem with the buttons not working properly gets worse.
I found that the more files in a folder the less the buttons work, it is very annoying when next and previous only work sometimes.
Is there an older version that works better

What problem is this?

I'm updating my mini every now and then to the current build and have no problems. Maybe you have a hardware issue? Have you tried if the problem persists in the OF?

Hi 

What is 0F ??
I have an Ipod mini with 16 GB flash no harddisk. Every time I update it gets worse.
I found that the problem is worst when there is a lot of files in the library 800 or more.
If I make a small library smaller then 100 files the problem is not so great just slow in changing to next.
I have tried to disable all mix, fade and so on but that does not help.
Is it because I use flash ? This should just be faster.

Regards
Christian..

Please be more specific with your problem. My Ipod is a Mini 2G with CF card and it works flawlessly with svn builds.

Some thoughts:
- you might have issues with the CF card. Is the card working fine outside of the Ipod?
- you might have filesystem issues. Have you chkdsk'ed the card?
- does the OF work (it's oh-eff, not zero-eff, and it does refer to the Original Firmware)?

Besides, I still have no clue what "buttons not working properly" means. What you might experience is slowness due to the card being slow -- do you have dircache enabled? Are you using the database and have you loaded the database to RAM?

I heard that if you replace the Mini's microdrive for a CF card you also need to fill the gap that's there because the card is thinner with a bit of cardboard or something like that. The microdrive holds the scrollwheel in place and is also needed to take the pressure of pressing the buttons. I could imagine that you'll experience button problems if you didn't do that or the cardboard isn't thick enough and maybe the small moves when connecting the cable for an update make it worse.

Just an idea but maybe that is what's happening here?

The scrollwheel is fixed at the casing and not hold (though maybe its position is supported by) the microdrive. In my case, I fixed the CF card with tape because it's thinner but that's it. So at least in my case the gap between scrollwheel and card is not a problem -- I've got this setup working since ˜1 1/2 years now. Doesn't mean that this could be a possible issue, though ...

Hi
Got no problems with the scrollwheel every thing works fine except when I play files from a libery with meny files and press next or previous it get stuck or is veeeery slow in changing to the new file and if I want to hear a file 10 files later it gets impossible especially in the car it get dangerous because it gets me taking the eyes from the road.

I was going to mention Directory Cache, but on second reading your problem appears to be related to audio buffering, not using the file browser.
