"resume playback" suddenly starts at beginning of playlist instead of whre I was

<< < (2/9) > >>

Not solved, but I have a little more news:

Since the Fuze was misbehaving anyway (phone jack has become very intermittent) I bought a new ClipZip (and installed RockBox). The bad news is that the problem in restarting a playlist after a power off still occurs, intermittently.

What I didn't say was that I've got a 32-gig card in the micro-sd slot, and it's fairly full. I've been reading lately that there are some limitations on how many files can be cataloged in the database, so I wonder if somehow something has caused this playlist to suddenly fall into the category of files that no longer work.

I dunno, but anyone got any more thoughts?

thanks!

There are indeed a few limits in Rockbox, but most people will find them sufficient I would think.

By default, Max Entries in File Browser is set to 1,000 (but this is per-directory, and does not include sub-directories), as the name suggests this only affects the File Browser, and there is also Max Playlist Size which is set to 10,000 entries by default.

The 1,000 files per directory default is more than generous for most people's use case, unless you are one of those people that keeps literally thousands of files in a single directory...but even if you are this limit can be raised. 10,000 tracks per playlist may not be enough for everyone if they are wanting to add all their media to a single giant playlist, but this limit can easily be increased as well.

Saint, thanks for the reply.

So, I'll clarify a bit. I keep each album/book/thing in its own subdirectory. In the case of the specific playlist I'm having trouble with, it contains 30 mp3 files, all in the same subdir with nothing else at all except a copy of the .m3u file.

that playlist has been on the SD card for a year or two, and has been listened to multiple times (at least a half-dozen) without trouble, til recently.

probably the biggest playlists on the player is one on the SD card of around 300 files (complete Bach organ music), and one (on the old Fuze, not yet moved to the ClipZip) of music files, which is 183 files (about 7 gigs). Otherwise

So far, I've had this trouble ONLY with that one playlist.

So, I shouldn't be encountering any of those limits.

Having been reading the RockBox manual, it's still not clear to me how the restart-after-power-off "resume playback" actually is implemented. I think I saw something about it's stored as a temporary bookmark, rather than as some attribute in the database. Can you enlighten me on that?

Thanks for your attention.

I just tried resuming a playlist on the Clip Zip at random positions a number of times, and could not get it to fail.  I'm using today's build.   Which build are you seeing this problem in?

fredex:
latest release, which is, as far as I remember 3.13. (the same release was in use on both the players where I had this problem.)

so far I've seen this only on a single playlist, but I haven't done an exhaustive study.
