bug: Rockbox (randomly) freezes during playback

(1/8) > >>

pabouk:
During the last week I encountered a new bug. I upgrade the firmware to the latest CVS version almost regularly several times per week.

hardware: H120
Rockbox version: 060623-1316
Firstly I observed the problem with a version which was not older than 060615. I cannot find the exact version as the bug appears randomly.
the bug: The firmware freezes during playback. From the first occurrence till today it happened for three times but I cannot replicate the problem. It seems to occur randomly. Before the problem showed I just skipped forward and back several times and used fast forward. Then after several minutes of playback the firmware froze. The disk was not spinning so it is not related to the buffer fill probably.
the files: I encountered the problem on MP3 files. In the table below you can see position in a playlist, filename, length, codec, bitrate, samplerate, filesize and channels. Last time it froze in 11:05 of the 29. file.

19. 00401488.mp3    [43:35]   MP3    64kbps    22050Hz   mono   20927741

Did anyone encountered similar problem or do you have ideas how to hunt the bug down to be able to replicate it on demand?

This is a very sad fact that RockBox still has problems with playback which is the primary feature of a DAP. That's why I still use the build as old as Apr 04 2006. I cross my fingers and hope for a fix. Good luck and thanks to all the devs!

RowaN:
I've had freezes lately too.. sometimes when skipping tracks. Best to keep a paperclip handy for reboot! I've not experienced any freezes with the latest CVS build though.... YET!

dunno:
I get similar freezing only if I use "Follow Album" type playback, which is to let it play albums consecutively without interruption, "auto change directory" on. I dont get any freezing if I create playlists for playback.

fatoldpig:
i've added a bug report here http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5536
no resolution yet. I only get after it changes the directory
