Gapless playback not working in latest Ipod video builds?

(1/4) > >>

squidkidd:
Hey All,

I just recently bought a new-to-me 5.5g 80gb ipod off ebay after losing my old one and installed rockbox 3.9.  I'm having an issue I never experienced on my old ipod - if the disk is not actively spinning at the time playback reaches the end of a track there will be a gap between tracks with a slight audible 'hiccup' as the disk spins up.  Essentially, the disk must be up for playback to move on to the next track.  This happens with equalizer both on and off.  I've also played around with disk spindown settings to no avail.  I've seen this behavior now on 3.9 and also the current build r30121.

I went back and installed 3.8 and the problem is no more.  What gives in the new version? 

Regards,
Brian

torne:
Sounds like your anti-skip buffer is set too small. Try increasing the setting.

The change in behaviour is probably because DMA was disabled before the 3.9 release.

Buschel:
Torne, if you are talking of ATA DMA: It was disabled in 3.8 (or 3.8.1) as well.

torne:
It was only disabled in 3.8.1, not in 3.8.

Buschel:
@squidkidd: Torne points to an interesting option: To check if the the DMA change is the root cause you might just test 3.8.1 vs. 3.8.
