Corrupted "Now Playing Theme" UPDATED

[Braverman]

@Braverman, Apparently this is a know problem we have a patch in the works with potential to fix it
i'll build that for you if you'd like to test

What is a known problem? What did I bitch about now :-) ?

we have a webclient through kiwi IRC up on the page https://www.rockbox.org/irc/

Checking in with other DEVs it appears this is a known problem for the V1 sansas (clip v1/v2, fuze v1, e200 v1 v2)

Short story is that code optimizations wreck the USB code for the V1s
We don't know what part of the code is failing only something specific to the V1AMS

And we have a workaround this build should work for you USB and theme

Ok, so V1, of which I have 3, will have a problem IF I move above 3.14? That's ok, they work wonderfully on 3.14 except they crash (explain in a minute) so I'll stay with that. This would be getting too many versions on the units I have.
1. In the testing of the several you've linked, I haven't done any exhaustive testing, just checking the basics.
2. (FWIW) In V3.14 possibly on BOTH V1's and V2's when I connected them and "actually do something - write a file, alter something" then disconnect them, I'll start to play/listen for about 4-5 minutes when the unit will freeze/white screen "Don't Panic" (ok Zephod) and I'll have to hold the pwr button down for 20 seconds or so, it'll shut down, then it'll boot right up and that's the end of it. I have never copied down the exception listed AFTER the Don't Panic, as I've always assumed that I was the only one having the problem. If I connect and do NOTHING but look around, it's fine.
Just thought I'd tell ya.
Get to the last 2 or 3 files in a while.

There is no need to test the others Sorry I didn't know of the V1 issue

the final one with optimizations disabled should work on all of those V2 e200s
https://www.mediafire.com/file/acmzh30pilo2xag/e280V2_USB_Disable-Os_rockbox-full.zip/file
and we can make another build for the V1s if you desire

So do you want me to test the above file? On a V2?
Because I quite happy to leave my V1's on 3.14.

Braverman I'm pretty sure they will work as its a know issue and workaround

here is the latest V1 if you want it: https://www.mediafire.com/file/bp3zj096tysbnkr/e280V1_USB_Disable-Os_rockbox-full.zip/file
and again the prior for V2: https://www.mediafire.com/file/acmzh30pilo2xag/e280V2_USB_Disable-Os_rockbox-full.zip/file

Ok, as I did throw this party, but left early, are yo happy where things are?
Like I said earlier, with all this in the past, I'd rather stay with 3.14 so that ll the unit are Stepford.
Do you want me to try the above files? Or ...

Up to you if you plan on leaving 3.14 the I don't see any reason to check em..

Thanks for your help thus far!

Hopefully that should avoid the problem for future themes.  Only problem now, if I understand the situation correctly, is how to know which existing themes now need to be updated.  Not helped by the fact that the simulator will behave differently as (as downloaded from 'extras') it uses an older RB version.

A bit  'O time later, but I've been migrating my 280's to 3.15 (suddenly too many prblems with 3.14.
... and have found a few (2 right now - well 3 but I can't remember the third) problems.
Should I open another thread?

I'm not a developer, so not really for me to answer, but I would have thought you should first check if the problems you refer to still crop up with the most recent developer version.  No point reporting issues that have already been fixed.
