Recent builds forgetting position in song

[wintermute23]

I don't know if this is the right place for this, but:

I have an iPodClassic, and it's worked without problems for several months. But recent builds don't seem to be able to remember where it stopped playing; they'll restart at the beginning of the correct track, which would be a minor problem, except that a lot of what I listen to is 40minute+ podcasts, and getting back to where I was isn't very convenient.

I'm currently using r29819 from 2011-05-03, which works (except that the current track / playlist info on the SBS screen is blank). I just tried r29969, which still has the problem.

Is this a problem anyone else is having? Does anyone have any suggestions?

I assume you're referring to the Resume Playback function, run directly after boot?

Playlist index and resume offset are stored in the /.rockbox/nvram.bin file.  First check that the filesystem still has some space for storing this file.  Maybe that file has become corrupted?  Save a backup copy of that file on your host (for later debugging), then check the filesystem for errors and delete that file; Rockbox will recreate it later.

(This applies only if your device uses the nvram.bin file.  Some targets store persistent settings in a real NVRAM; I don't know how to reset this.)
