Clip Zip keeps erroring

[flickspot]

Edit: See my second post for the actual issue

Here is a slightly older test build:

http://web.mit.edu/mgg6/www/rockbox-clipzip-d0d66f3.7z

Does it work?

Edit:  Also, do you have a microsd card in the player?

[flickspot]

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. Turns out I was hasty in my diagnosis. The actual problem is the following (and yes I have a microSD):

I recently updated my Zip to the latest Dev build, and shortly afterwards I put some 320kbps 44.1khz tracks on the microSD. There was nothing indicating a copy error, and the songs play fine in Windows, but my player keeps crashing while playing them. The playback stops, and there's sometimes a white screen with an error message about failing to copy or something like that. Building the database the first time after adding the new tracks also crashed. What to do here?

I'm assuming then that the internal storage works fine? 

What happens if you try the build I posted above?

Edit: Also, which build are you running?

Edit2:  Hard to know exactly what you should try without knowing your present build, but try this one:  http://web.mit.edu/mgg6/www/rockbox-clipzip-d0d66f3.7z

It has the USB changes but not the SD driver changes.

I was running the March build. Internal storage did seem to work, oddly enough. I switched to the build you posted and the microSD seems to work fine, but I'm now getting a lot of hiss, both during playback and at idle.

Edit: Just saw your edit with the USB changes build, will try that one too

[saratoga]

I was running the March build.

Which of the builds from March are you running?  It's hard for me to suggest things to test if I don't know what you are doing.

[flickspot]

Ah of course, I assumed from the "Major Changes" list that the build prior to my one was just from January. I was running fe9a3ce-160318. Both the builds you posted worked for me by the way - the earlier one had noticeable hiss, but d0d66f3-160322 doesn't have hiss or the crashes. Thanks for the help

[flickspot]

Sorry to double post, but presumably you saw my first reply. Well, those tracks are now playing, but halfway through the album, some of the tracks started playing over each other. I also tried some other albums on my microSD, and they're also not playing. Again, I made sure these tracks are all working in Windows.

[saratoga]

So to summarize: 

Internal storage works.
External storage does not.

External used to work in 3.13, but at some point in the last 3 years (and before the last few weeks), it broke? 

[flickspot]

Yes. I didn't touch any dev builds until the fe9a3ce-160318 I downloaded today, so I don't know when it would have broken.

Edit: Just tried 3.13 again and it does work.

Here is one more build from a few days before we added CPU frequency scaling:

[flickspot]

Ok, so this build has that hiss issue again that isn't present on 3.13 or the March builds, but I listened to the tracks and the album on the microSD and they all worked fine.

I'm not sure that the hiss is related to the build, or at least no one else has reported it.  Can you let the player loop music off the SD card for a long time to make sure it doesn't crash?  Then I'll provide another test build.

[flickspot]

Right, well I swear I'm not going crazy, but I turned my player on and it no longer seems to have any hiss. It was really loud and unmistakeable. I wiggled my headphone jack to see if it might be wonky, and that wasn't it. Perhaps it was somehow related to being the first boot after a firmware update... or something.

Anyway, I'll report back in 40 minutes unless the player glitches/crashes before then.

This is the first build with frequency scaling enabled.
