Recommend a stable nightly?

(1/3) > >>

meowsqueak:
I upgraded from a May nightly to yesterday's (2006-09-20) and it would appear that it's a little unstable (Iriver H120, tracks getting cut off before the end, progress not progressing, wrong track info displayed, etc). I expected this as it is bleeding edge. Before I go back to the May nightly, can anyone recommend a more recent nightly that has minimal problems please?

EDIT: btw I have no idea if this is the right place to post this because the general Iriver H120 forum seems to have disappeared.

Yotto:
In general, if the very latest nightly file has problems, go the bleeding edge file (because whatever bugs are in the nightly are likely fixed) and vice versa.  If both of those fail, go back one nightly build.  I've never had to do this.

Also, is it possible you didn't clear your settings (On the ipod, it's boot with the hold switch on.  I don't know what it is on the the Iriver)?  These kind of sound like the kind of problems you get when you don't do that.

scorche:
On the iriver, you hold the record button to clear the settings

meowsqueak:
Thanks for the responses, I'll try a build or two around the problem build.

I did clear the settings because I moved the .rockbox entirely out of the way and elected to use the default fresh settings from the new build.

Llorean:
Moving .rockbox does *not* clear the settings. The settings aren't stored in a file, so you have to manually tell Rockbox to clear them. In this case, by holding Record from after the bootloader shows up until Rockbox says "cleared"
