Possible stability issues with 3.6 & 3.7 on Fuze V1 during playback
« on: December 13, 2010, 12:29:32 PM »
I've been using rockbox on my Fuze V1 since it first became available and have had almost no problems with it.  However, I've noticed since 3.6 that I have an occasional issue where the player shuts down unexpectedly during playback.  Of course I'm never looking at the Fuze when it occurs, so I have no idea if any kind of error message is displayed.  This happens a couple time a week, so it's not too big of a deal but it's enough to make me wonder if some kind of stability issue was introduced in the recent releases.

I don't think it's a problem with the music files themselves as all are mp3s created by Winamp (LAME) and have all played without issue before and will play just fine from start to finish even after the unexpected shutdown.

It's is also possible that I have some kind of a hardware/power problem and it was just coincidental that it started right after I installed 3.6.  Sometimes when the unexpected shutdown occurs it can take several tries with the power switch before it will restart, so this make me wonder if it might be hardware.

Has anyone else seen anything like this?  I'd like to try to narrow down where the problem might be but can't think of anything to try.  Is there some kind of log in rockbox that might be useful in figuring out what's going on?

I don't think anyone else has reported this, and if you can't suggest a way to reproduce the problem its hard to trouble shoot.  Still, I would check the disk for errors, upgrade to the current build, etc.

Yeah, that's what I figured.  It's totally random and I can't really tell if it's rockbox or hardware.  All I can say is it started very soon after upgrading to 3.6.  But like I said, that could be coincidental.

I suppose I could switch to the original FW for a week and see if it happens.  If it happens in the original FW, then it's probably not rockbox.  I just don't know if I can give up rockbox for that long.  :)

Is there even any likely scenario where rockbox would just shutdown like that?  In some of the early versions I had the occasional lock up and I think I recall a crash where it got some error code and restarted, but I don't remember it ever just shutting down.  Is there any scenario (other than low battery, obviously) where that's expected behavior?
