Ipod 5g, 30gb Freeze on playback

[Joergenfs]

Hey, i have recently encountered a problem, rockbox freezes when i try to play any song.

I have tried reinstalling rockbox, restoring Ipod, then reinstalling, Formatting the ipod then reinstalling rockbox.. With no luck.

Everything in rockbox works fine except when i try to play music.

It freezes, gets a little hot and if im lucky i can manage to reset it the normal way. after holding the buttons for a while.

Do anyone know a sollution for this problem?

Possible sollutions are much appreciated!

Some questions:

- Which revision are you running?
- Do play files via file browser or via database?
- Do you default settings or anything special enabled?
- Does the HDD keep spinning all the time?
- What kind of audio format do you use?

- Which revision are you running?
3.7.1 from the latest auto-installer.  (Revision means version number right?)


- Do play files via file browser or via database?
- It happens when using both database and browser


- Do you default settings or anything special enabled?
- i use the default settings


- Does the HDD keep spinning all the time?
- Yeah, i think the hdd keeps spinning all the time, causing battery to drain.


- What kind of audio format do you use?
- The audio format i use is "mp3"

Does svn (current headrevision) have the same effect for you?
Is this happending with older releases (e.g. 3.6) as well?

Edit: Can you check whether the mp3 files from http://download.rockbox.org/test_files/ work for you?

I tried a fresh install earlier today, after deleting the last installed rockbox as well as deleting all the music on the ipod.

After rockbox was done installing, i put a music album in mp3 format on the ipod,

Rockbox booted up as it should and i selected database in the menu..   This is where something unexpected happened, First time i tried to initialize the it just said Building database... 0 found (PREV to return)

It didnt freeze or anything, just seemed like it had a problem with building the database.

I clicked PREV, Rebooted the ipod and tried again.
When i clicked initialize this time, it quickly found many thousand files during the search and continued counting more, i pressed PREV and rebooted again.

Its as if it was going through the music that used to be on the ipod, i have 15 music tracks on my ipod, it cant possible find several thousand files..

The test files doesnt work either

1) Please check your version (System -> Rockbox Info -> Version) to be 100% clear what is installed.
2) Please run checkdisk or something similar on your iPod HDD. Maybe the filesystem is corrupted after your hard reset during the DB building.

It says 3.71

I think i did chkdsk the last time i was trying to solve this problem, and it found some errors but all of them got repaired.
