Playback totally whacked out

These problems aren't going away so I'll make a bug report.  Also, is there anywhere to download the last build before the feature freeze was lifted?  It's not on the "old" dailies page.

Hi woodensoul,

I couldn't see a bug report for this, so I've added one - have a look at http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6117 and see if you can add anything.

There's also a test H120 build there which might help, or might just result in other problems.

Thanks for starting the bug report.  I will test your build tonight at work.  Also, I've been unable to reproduce any of the mentioned bugs while strictly playing from playlists created by myself.  It seems that these bugs have something to do with the end of a directory.  I don't think they've occured unless I allow playback to stop after reaching the end of a directory after which I play another directory.

I noticed somthing that could be the outcome of the same problem:

When I play files from a directory, not using a playlist, it seems that the bufferhandling doesn't work right somehow. The first few tracks play fine, but when it comes to spin up the disk and read the next few tracks it sometimes skips back to the beginning of the current song. But the second time the song plays fine, so the reason for skipping is not a faulty file.

I noticed a few arbitrary skips, I think all of them backwards not one ahead to the next track. I turned the hold swith to hold position to ensure that the skipping is not triggered by an unwanted key press. But the problem persisted. Sometimes there was white noise when skipping tracks.

It seems to me that rockbox now and then "forgets" to fill the playback buffer and the codec runs out of data, reads "old" data and continues playing.

I've tried Steve Bavin's build (061004-1733) today as suggested in bugreport #6117 but the problem described above remains.

I was playing 192kbit/s mp3 files from a directory (dynamic playlist) for about 15 minutes and pffffffft it skipped back in the middle of a track.

Although yesterday  it was playing for 3 quartes of an hour without a skip.
