Playback totally whacked out
mhebsacker:
I've had the similar problem with the builds from 26 and 27.9. (H140)
These where the first builds I tried since 18.7. - the last build before feature freeze was lifted - after basicly I am only interested in stable playback, gapless, replay gain and flexible playlists, so I didnt cared that f.e. tag cache implementation and some other stuff was not finished and blocking a 3.0.
Well, still after some time I wanted to try where rockbox is now, installed the nightly from 26.9. and new fonts, I deleted all prefs (holding record during boot), imported my old prefs settings (only a few things are different from standard setting) and listended to a folder (CD).
Everyhting worked fine until the first Buffer refill. The song jumped, some white noise, and continuied at some other place. I tried to ffw and bckwd, and from then on eveything in the buffer seemed to be a mess.
Rebooted, soon had the same problems again, tried the build from 27.9. with same result.
So I reverted to the build from 18.7. which never gave me any problem and probably stay with it until there is a release. At least this one is pretty stable.
woodensoul:
I was able to reproduce all the bugs I mentioned in my first post using the bleeding edge build from 9.28. The only setting I changed was to set Repeat to "Off".
Play a track in a directory. Wait until the directory is finished playing and playback stops. (You could probably skip forward to the end of the directory and wait for that track to finish.) Navigate to another directory and play the first track. Instead of playing the next track in the directory after playback for the first finishes, as it should be, playback stops after the first track. If you play the second track now, playback seems to continue correctly until (possibly the buffer runs out as mhebsacker mentioned) some loud static or white noise comes in the middle of a track and then the track repeats and finishes, then proceeds to play the next track without the track title changing to reflect the new track and the elapsed time continuing past the duration of the previously played track. i.e. (7:15/5:34). The elapsed time just continues to go up until you force the player to re-buffer the song.
The white noise/static thing doesn't happen every time but did happen a few times in 7 hours of listening last night. Playback stopping after the first track in a directory happened several times.
Llorean:
So, it sounds like it's related to the end of the directory? This then, never happens if you actually create a playlist and use that, instead of a dynamic playlist?
woodensoul:
I haven't tried that. I usually only use dynamic playlists because I listen to full albums mostly. The bug involving white noise/track cutting out and repeating shouldn't have anything to do with the end of a directory though.
I'll try with a created playlist to see if the (playback stopping) bug reappears.
Llorean:
Well, Repeat on or off affects whether it attempts to continue out of the playlist or stays in the directory, so yes it could actually be affecting it quite easily. There are a lot of bugs relating to the end-of-folder behaviour as it is.
