I have an album on my iPods that will play when accessed via the Database or via the Playlists Catalog, but it won't play when accessed via the File Browser. The album contains eight tracks. I've tried clicking on each individual track from within the File Browser but none of them will play. This happens in both the recent experimental dev build ab2af16c7c-240415 running on an iPod mini 2nd Gen and also on dev build 52e22b253d-240329 running on an iPod Video 5.5 Gen.
Here is the 'real' text of the full path to the first track in the album:
/_dtgLIB/The City Of London Chamber Orchestra; Thomas McIntosh, Organ, Harpsichord & Conductor/English Music By Purcell, Arne, Stanley, Chilcot/01 Purcell: "King Arthur," Suite for Strings.m4a
Here is the text of the full path to the same track as it is displayed in the File Browser:
/_dtgLIB/The City Of London Chamber Orchestra; Thomas McIntosh, Organ, Harpsichord & Conductor/English Music By Purcell, Arne, Stanley, Chilcot/01 Purcell_ _King Arthur,_ Suite for Strings.m4a
When I click on any of these tracks in the File Browser, Rockbox shifts to the WPS as expected. Under "Now Playing" it displays the title and artist of the album's last track, and for the album it just displays _dtgLIB which is the name of my main music directory - located in the root directory - containing the vast majority of the music on my iPods. Both iPods have the exact same music libraries synced from the same source. The last track's title is displayed with the substitute characters (as in the full pathname cited above), whereas when I play the same track via the Database or the Playlists Catalog the track's title is displayed with the 'real' text, not with the substitute characters. Also, the start/current time and end time under the Play progress bar are both 0:00 and there is nothing displayed under "Next Track" (of course).
When I long click on any of these tracks in the File Brower and choose "Show Track Info" from the Context Menu, I get the error message "File/Dir not found" followed by as much of the pathname as will fit in the error message box. When I long click on the album's directory in the File Browser and choose Properties from the Context Menu I get a display of all the correct info for the directory, including its correct full pathname.
So, is there something about the text of the album's title that is causing this problem? I'm pretty sure there lots of other tracks in my music library with longer pathnames.
