Problem with 3.7 connecting as Rockbox media player

(1/2) > >>

trasman:
I have almost my whole mp3 collection on my ipod (5g) and not on my computer.
I use to connect the iPod to the computer and play the files from the removable drive.
This has worked just fine so far.
But I updated to the latest rockbox version 3.7 and my Apple iPod has become a Rockbox media player, it has been given a new drive letter in windows and the screen on the iPod when connected to the computer doesn't look the same as on previous (3.6 and past) versions.

The problem is that when I play a file located on my iPod on my computer, it kind of freezes for a second on all tracks. Really annoying.

Problem solved when I connect the iPod booted into Apple OS. So there is definitely no problem with my iPod.

Is this a bug or a setting I need to make (I really tried to look for a setting for this but haven't found any) to make my iPod connect as a iPod (instead of a Rockbox media player) as it has in previous version of rockbox?

saratoga:
You can reboot into the Apple firmware (see manual I forget the exact buttons on your player).  But its odd that it makes a difference.

We probably have a different spin down behaviour than the OF. We should really have a separate spin down timeout while connected setting...

As I wrote (or at least tried to), booting into Apple OS solves the problem.

But why is this only affecting the new v3.7 and not v3.6 and older?

Because 3.6 rebooted to the Apple disk mode for USB
