Hifiman HM-801: Newer builds became unstable. Can I help?
HungryDaze:
Unfortunately, the newer build is very unstable. I modified the settings minimally — you could say it’s the bare minimum:
Replay Gain: off
Automatic directory change: on
First button press enables backlight only: on
Language: Russian
I also tried all Album Art settings.
The symptoms are the same as before: random freezes, usually after powering on the player and selecting a music file, along with the two errors I already mentioned. I also asked a friend to test it, and he got the same results. This is the build we tested: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/FZcSZis9dnZgbw
So, I have three questions:
How can I help?
Can it be fixed?
Do you perhaps have an older version that includes the auto-frequency setting? It might offer better compatibility.

1) Does it happen with English?
2) What theme? If it's not the Stock Cabbiev2, does it still crash with the default theme?
3) What type of files are you trying to play? Consistent for a given file?
4) When you say "modded" what do you mean, specifically?

Again, that's an *eleven year old* build. There's a huge, huge gap.

Of course it can be fixed, and build can be generated from every single commit in the git repository, but you are going to have to go through some work as nobody here has access to a HM801.
You can start by first trying the 3.14 and 3.15 releases, to see if either/both of those work as expected.
Second, see if the problem is still recreatable in a truly stock setup (ie no configuration changes whatsoever, default theme, english language, etc etc)

That link points at the "0.23 + Rockbox.rar" file containing the a build from 140415, whereas...

....is the nightly from a couple of days ago. So you may see why I am confused.
FWIW the HM601 that I have appears to work okay, including resuming playback. Stock 250224 nightly build (+ english voice) and a small pile of mp3 files (with album art) that I already had on the SD card.
(As far as Rockbox is concerned, the only difference between the HM601 and the HM801 are the physical controls, how the LCD is wired up, and the battery capacity. So.. back to the basic diagnostic questions I asked earlier?)

Nope, a slightly different name: "0.23 + Rockbox (свежий).rar" With this build: Version: a220402d51-250122

Will test it again with the defaults and give feedback.
