Fuze Plus refuses to playback from microSD

[Artistical]

Hello.

I had a Sansa e260 for music until I HAD to switch to the Fuze+. Thing is, my microSDHC 16GB card doesn't seem to work with the fuze+. It can read and navigate just fine, but as soon as I select a song to play, it goes back to the menu and the "Files" option is unaccesible. The player stops and the only way to get it back is to turn it off and back on. Briefly before going back to the menu, "root" shows where the song title should be.

I've searched on Flyspray for this, but other than the usual "FLAC and OGG doesn't really work", there's not much there. Also, the port status says SD is at 100%, so maybe this is more singular than I thought it was.

In any case, thanks for the sup-port (haha, see what I did there? ). Been using Rockbox for over four years!

Have you tried copying the file to the internal memory and playing it from there? Does that work?

[Artistical]

Indeed, that does work, and it's what I've been doing all this time. However, most of my music collection is on that microSD, and it's a pain having to swap files from there to internal through a computer (plus the wasted space).

Check the filesystem on the card.

[Artistical]

While a bit reluctant to try this since it involved moving 16 GB on and off from the card, I did. The file system was FAT32 and it was seen by the fuze+, just not played. Now, on NTFS, the fuze+ can't even see it.

So there. Changing back to FAT32, still looking for a solution.

[bluebrother]

Checking the filesystem doesn't mean to change it ... Rockbox only supports FAT (and I think the Sandisk firmware too)

Changing back to FAT32, still looking for a solution.

Noticed that.

[Artistical]

Problem's still there. Any ideas?

I had good luck reformatting a 64GB micro SDXC to FAT32 for use with my Fuze v2 (using a program called FAT32format; there is a GUI version available). However, the newly formatted card works in two Fuze v2s, one Clip Zip and a Fuze v1...but not on a third Fuze v2--which was the machine I was originally trying to use.

Every Rockboxed Sansa I have plays nicely with this card, but no matter how I formatted it, that single Fuze v2 refused to recognize it. It does still work with an 8GB card, though. Go figure.

What I'm rambling about is this: maybe your player is intimidated by your card. Will it work with a different, identically formatted card?

[Artistical]

It doesn't. Besides, I have a standard Fuze v2 (well, mom does anyways), and the microSD reads just fine. The problem arises when I try to read it with my Fuze Plus. There, as soon as I start playback, it locks up. I pull out the card, insert it on the Fuze v2, or the damaged e260 I have (its headphone jack broke) and it reads perfectly. I also have a 2GB normal microSD, and no dice :S

[Artistical]

So, no clues?

So, no clues?

Well its obviously some bug in the SD card software.

[Artistical]

Not obviously, since the only player where the SD card doesn't work is on the Fuze+.

[saratoga]

Not obviously, since the only player where the SD card doesn't work is on the Fuze+.

Hence its likely to be a bug in the fuze+ SD card software ...

[Artistical]

So, after a while of resignation and an update, I managed to catch this error after fiddling with the SD and switching it on and off:

PANIC
microSD init failed -100
bt pc: 6005EFA4, sp: 600F6220
bt end

Any ideas?
