Playing and browsing from the file browser has become sluggish on Clip+
rdtyphn:
I also noticed that on my Xduoo X3ii navigation was very sluggish. It was one of the reasons I switched to a hifiwalker H2 but now it's affected by the crashing.
How did you find builds dating back to that time? Until these issues are fixed I'd like to do the same for my devices if possible.
Carlo:
I'm compiling the source code from a specific git commit, 00c7817c9c326368c2cd89f1e786584283935c9c from 2023-01-12 ("[BugFix] playlist.c DIRCACHE stop scanning when changing indices"), the last bug free one without the massive performance problems introduced by the playlist fixes.
I don't mean to sound ungrateful or unappreciative for all the hard work the devs devoted to the Rockbox project, however all the recent playlist changes should be scrapped and the old code reverted back. The old playlist code was working fine, the new one has severe performance issues even on modern devices without any tangible advantage for the users.
Please, devs, don't ruin Rockbox for all of us!
rdtyphn:
Any updates on this from the devs? I've been updating my Hifiwalker H2 regularly with the latest build and still have been running into these crashes.
To recap for the past year or two at times there is display corruption and player slowdown with the disk access icon constantly spinning up and eventual hanging of the player on the native port. It seems related to browsing file directories. The error says "exception" TLB refill and about four lines of numbers.
Thanks

There are several folks who use this as their daily driver with no issues, so we're going to need way to semi-reliably reproduce the problem you're seeing if there's any hope of intentionally addressing it.
Eg, does it happen with the latest build, stock theme, and default configuration? If not, then which setting change leads to this? Does the specific file(s) matter? Has the storage device been checked for errors? etc etc.
rdtyphn:
Thanks for your reply.
It happens with the latest build. This happens exclusively with browsing the filetree. The specific files do not matter. I have checked the storage device for errors. It seems to happen when scrolling around through lots of file folders but sometimes will happen more quickly while browsing. The screen starts slowing down and showing corrupted looking text. It gets slower and choppier and impossible to browse. Then usually a crash happens. I've attached the screenshot of the crash.
