[SOLVED, kinda]Ipod Nano Gen 2 wont build database, doesnt write to metadata.log

(1/1)

Hey, im having problems with my ipod nano 2nd gen (4gb). Every time i try to build the database, it gets stuck at 0. It also does not write to metadata.log, no matter if i enable it first thing on boot.  :(

Things I have tried:


* enabling metadata.log at boot first
* putting the files on in both Itunes mode and Rockbox mode in both Linux and Windows
* Putting just one file on at a time (The error even appears with no music files)
* Trying different Rockbox versions, including 4.0, 20250515, 20250514
* Trying multiple different audio file types (opus, ogg, mp3 and flac) with and without any metadata
* copying the whole filesystem to a rockbox emulator (same problems mostly, i managed to crash it once when choosing the scan directory) (still wouldnt make metadata.log)
* verifying the scan directory is set right
* replacing the rockbox emulator's simdisk with a symlink directly to the ipod (didnt help)
* windows explorer drive repair (said there were no issues), and a few other tools on both windows and linux
* restoring / reformating in windows, linux and itunes
The emulator does not show any log when attempting to build the database except for "sdl_audio_callback: No Data." that appears every 20 seconds or so.
Playing songs from the Files tab works, but i want to be able to shuffle songs and use playlists.
Standard itunes OS works perfectly, so i doubt its something hardware related.


Does anyone have any ideas? literally anything i havent tried already would be appreciated. I have been trying to fix this issue for 3 days now. I really dont want to have to use itunes. I hate the itunes app.  >:(

Never mind, it literally just fixed itself overnight.

I wish i could say how i fixed it, or why it didnt fix itself at all in the past 3 days but oh well.
