bug: Rockbox (randomly) freezes during playback
pabouk:
I do not use "Auto change directory" and I do not usually create playlists manually the playlist showed above is an automatic one (i.e. content of a directory). You can see my settings in the included settings06.cfg.txt.
I tried to let Rockbox play the same playlist for about 8 hours through the last night but it did not froze. Maybe the bug appears only after skipping, seeking or resume functions. I will do further investigation.
fatoldpig:
recently i've came across another freezing bug.
play a track and stop it in the middle and then shut down the player
start the player (auto-resume is on) and while it's resuming (but before it resumes) press stop. it freezes completely and need a reset

I have a CVS build from about 3 days ago, and this morning I had a freeze. I skipped to the next track, and while crossfade was happening, I went into the file tree and chose another song. It went back to the WPS but then froze - no sound, and entire screen was static (no progress bar or elapsed/remain movement). Moving the joystick still enabled the backlight. I was unable to power off in the usual way (holding stop). I had no paperclip, but luckily, after 10mins it auto powered off, as it is set to do in my options. I was then able to reboot. Very handy on my 2 hour commute!

I had a very similar occurrence recently. The build was from sometime in the past 2 weeks (sorry I can't pinpoint, as I update fanatically). Crossfade enabled. As my playlist was changing from one directory to another (as a result of the "insert next" playlisting function, not the auto-changing directory function), I chose a different track from the file browser and the player froze. Backlight was the only thing to respond. Required a hard reset when I got home. Just to lend some plurality to the issue...
pabouk:
Finally I managed to duplicate the bug after circa 30 hours of testing playback. I tried it on the same playlist of MP3 files with various bitrates and sample rates. In fact I have a suspicion that the bug has something to do with various sample rates.
Now I have a bookmark (approximately 2 minutes before end of a 40 minutes file) with which I can duplicate sometimes a freeze or on demand a similar bug. The steps how to invoke the error are below:
• Resume playback from the bookmark.
• Rewind before the time point of bookmark.
• Wait till the playback continues on the next track (buffer refills).
• In my case after 5 to 100 seconds appears one of these bugs:
a) Different track starts to play (not from the beginning) while the WPS still shows information about the track, which was supposed to play till its end. In my case it started to play a track which is fourth in succession. The WPS stays out of sync (although it somehow shows next tracks sequentially) until I skip enough to refill the buffer. Forward and backward seeking does not work normally (probably related to the different sample rate being shown and played).
b) The firmware freezes. If I resume playback after reset it starts to play the file from the beginning and it freezes at the same point. I have saved the configuration sector for further examination.
Unfortunately I will be on a small vacation till Monday. Then I will examine the bug with a most recent firmware version and I will fill a bug report in flyspray.
