[SOLVED] Random Player Unresponsiveness
Kernle 32DLL:
I think my mp3-player is evil. While the odds for the "silence" problem increased, the "noise" problem nearly vanished (didn't had it for days). Strange :/
Kernle 32DLL:
I guess triple posts are not very nice, but the same problem is still consiting. Only thing I managed to find out so far, was the fact that setting the "Anti-Skip Buffer" to maximum (15 minutes I think) causes the silence problem to occur at nearly every start. I have to restart the player 3-5 times, till I am finally able to listen to my music. Of course I tried to set the Anti-Skip Buffer to it's lessest value, too (5 secs i guess), but it didn't change a lot.
I persist with my idea of a PCM lockup. Is there any way to provoke, or at least trigger a complete PCM buffer reset in rockbox? That would at least help me having to restart my player that often (or at the very least prove my idea of the pcm lockup wrong).
Any ideas?
So long,
Kernle
PS: The download link for the dump still works.
Chronon:
The lack of corroboration from other users suggests one of a couple of possibilities:
1) The problems you are seeing are unique to your setup and have to do with some peculiarity of your player (file system damage, hardware problems, etc.).
2) The Rockbox build for Vibe 500 is exhibiting problems that are not apparent on other players (a bug in a driver, perhaps).
Are these problems persisting across multiple builds? Have you checked your file system for damage? (A damaged file system can manifest in many strange ways.)
It would be helpful if other users of this player can corroborate this behavior.
b0hoon:
It's strange. I've never experienced this problem. I'll try to walk with my vibe everywhere and reproduce it, but now it works without any problems. I have some version after change to eabi.
What version of Rockbox do you have?
What format of music do you use. It may be specific problem with the codec. Are sure that your files (or file system) are ok?
Kernle 32DLL:
Yep, my files are 100% okay. I use standard MP3 files, with varying bitrates from 128 to 320. This problem occurs with static and variable bitrates, alike.
I use the 3.6 build (r27293-100705)
I find it really disturbing which values the pcm buffer takes. I would like to stick to that, so what could cause the pcm to say.. crash? And what would it take to recover it? One intersting thing is, as I mentioned, that i really have to restart the player to continue listening to my music. Selecting another track does not accomplish anything (intersting thing to know is, when i change to a different track, that all the ID Tag Info is shown as ???'s, as if the information couldn't be loaded).
Several times, but not always, I get a "playlist control file invalid" message after restarting the player. This may or may not have something to do with it, just mentioning it. Another thing I noticed is if the player has crashed as I mentioned it, it takes unusually long to shut down the player (around 2-3 times longer).
So long,
Kernle
PS: b0hoon, may sending my settings file help you?
PPS: I think my file system is okay, but just to be sure, I gonna reformat my player this weekend.
