Mpegplayer is broken on Sansa e200v1 since Rockbox v3.4

[daniel-l]

Hey guys,

I recently updated my Sansa e200v1 from a fully working Rockbox v3.3 to v3.4 and noticed that the Plugin Mpegplayer seems to be broken now. The same video files which used to work on pre-3.4-versions of Rockbox now won't play correctly. Well, they still start playing but I am not able to unpause playing once paused nor can I seek forwards or backwards.
I also tried Rockbox v3.5 and the current build (SanDisk Sansa e200 r24559) but have had no success.

For now I downgraded back to Rockbox v3.3.

I'm posting this to let you guys know about this bug as I couldn't find any hints about it on the forums or on the bugtracker. Hope this'll get fixed

You're seriously reporting an issue against 3.4 while 3.5 just has been released and go back to 3.3? Have you tried 3.5 at all?

Do you have a sample video you can upload somewhere?

Whoops, somehow overlooked that line. Sorry.

Edit: just tried on my e200v1, videos play back fine and seeking works as well as (un)pausing. Tried with the Elephants Dreams sample video.

Thanks for your replies. I just tried the Elephants Dreams video and guess what? It works. Also my other video files work "again": I totally missed that the play/seek buttons switched their positions (haven't read about it in the release notes and whenever I stumbled upon the described "problem" I was in the bed and kind of sleepy) so it was a PICNIC-like error (Problem in Chair, Not in Computer) Sorry about that!
