codec problem

<< < (3/3)

littlebone:
No it is different files and different formats (I have both MP3s and OGGs).

I cleared the .rockbox directory and reloaded the 30 September build and the fonts. That seems to have fixed the problem. Something tells me there's an RTFM coming from someone, somewhere in my near future. In my whiny defense I'll say: Just overlaying has worked for the last 1 year 2 months.

How does one whine with emoticons?

Anyway, thanks bluebrother

Febs:
littlebone, given that you obviously searched for an answer and had the courtesy to post your problem in an existing thread on the topic, I will personally delete any RTFM response that anyone writes.  Thank you for doing things the right way!

(By the way, I also upgrade builds by simply overwriting the old one.)

Actually, on iRiver units resetting the settings is accomplished with the Record button being held down shortly after power-on (not before) and until Rockbox says "Cleared".

I've found that occasionally overlaying builds results in some strangeness. I can't logically come up with why, because nothing makes sense, but removing the build entirely, putting a new one on, and clearing the settings while booting has fixed it any time this happens (I once had it giving me a data abort every time I booted, and neither clearing nor putting on a new build worked, but doing both, after entirely removing the folder, worked for some reason.)

I also experienced this strange behaviour once. It even wouldn't let fixing by removing the rockbox files completely, so I moved all files to my PC and reinstalled Rockbox with the disk nearly completely empty -- then it worked. I have no idea what happened but I guess there was something strange on the harddisk going on.

Try this: ;'-( (and I just noticed that the forum has a whining emoticon already:  :'( )
Nice to see you haven't experienced that crash I had quite some time back.

this should be written to the wiki in the iriver faq, it is an important feature and I only learned it from the "experimental builds" in the misticriver forums at first and we have to tell this to people constantly.

Maybe a wiki page dedicated to getting everything working again when a build is seriously broken on the player?
If there isn't something like this already I might set something up tonight.
