Trying to play tracks crashes with current dev build on iPod mini 2nd Gen

(1/4) > >>

iPodVT:
This evening I used Rockbox Utility to update my iPod mini 2nd Gen's installation of dev build a7cfee640d-240908 to the current dev build 2c1d31fcd9-250210.  After rebooting into the new dev build I was unable to play any tracks - neither via the Database nor via the File Browser.  On my first try with via Database the iPod froze so I hard rebooted (Menu+Select) and tried the File Browser and that gave me this crash screen:

Data abort at 0001ca6c
pc: 0001ca6c
sp: 4000b660
    A:  00031168
    A:  0002e130
    A:  00017150
    A:  00017db8
bt end

So then I reverted to my backup of a7cfee640d-240908 and was able to play tracks as normal via both the Database and the File Browser.

Then I used Rockbox Utility again to do a clean install of 2c1d31fcd9-250210 instead of updating a7cfee640d-240908.  Rather than rebuilding the Database, I just tried running from the File Browser.  This time the crash screen displayed a slight variation from the previous one above:

Data abort at 0001ca74
pc: 0001ca74
sp: 4000b660
    A:  00031168
    A:  0002e130
    A:  00017150
    A:  00017db8
bt end

Then I rebooted and tried building the database for the clean-installed dev build, and the iPod froze.

This iPod has an iFlash SD-CF with a 256GB Samsung Pro Plus microSD in an SD adapter.

A five-month spread is pretty wide.

I suggest you try something in the middle, like the oldest available daily build, and if that works, work forward until you find the date at which things go awry?

I was afraid you might say that... ;-)

I worked my way up to dev build 95f4accf45, which played.  It's immediate successor, 2e98889be3, froze.

For good measure I tried 2c1d31fcd9-250210 on an ipod6g and it didn't freeze or crash, though I only tried it briefly to see if it would play at all.  I will continue to use that one on the 6G, and I'll run 95f4accf45 on the mini until there's a relevant new version posted on the Recent Activity page or an exp version gets posted to this topic.

Thanks.

Immediate successor among the daily builds, that is.

FWIW as I type this I'm listening to music on a mini2g running last night's build (1ea5d57303).

It's a selection of Opus, WMA, AAC, FLAC, and MP3 that I use for basic smoke tests.

Please give that build a whirl, and if it still goes boom try with a clean .rockbox directory before applying your settings/themes one by one.
