Tagcache issue, H120

[Devilturnip]

Bah, nevermind. I'm awfully tired, and for a second I convinced myself that ApeV2 meant *.ape format. Dammit.

So, again, know any apps for checking?

I'm about to head to bed here, but I'm also planning on just formatting the H120 and reloading from scratch tomorrow. I'll let you know if that gets me anywhere.

I do believe Foobar2000 can let you merge your tags and select only to have ID3v2 and ID3v1 tags.

I'll check it out tomorrow. Thanks for all the help so far.

Well, I believe I've solved the problem. I booted into bootloader USB mode, backed up my music files, then completely wiped the drive. I first loaded the most recent CVS, then initialized tagcache and enabled auto updates. Finally, I loaded my music a few gigs at a time, letting the player update the database after each bit was transferred. The database updated without a hitch every time.

If it works for PCs, I guess it works for MP3 players as well... when in doubt, clear the drive off an reinstall everything.

Just ran into the same problem. Despite repeated reboots tagcache would always say "Committing 1/7" at startup and then promptly boot up only tagcache would say "Tagcache not ready" when you tried to use it. To make matters worse reinitialising or updating the tagcache after this was not possible. I rolled back to a build from june at which point the boot message changed to "Committing 1/13" but no progress and still couldn't reinitialise. Had to delete tagcache_tmp.tcd to force reinitialisation. Once this was done tagcache was committed at next reboot and I then updated the firmware again and things are more or less back to normal.

This happens to me periodically, seemingly with no pattern.  I typically have rebooted (sometimes more than once) and it has gone away.

Solar flares?

I am getting the same error when trying to initialize tagcache on my iaudio x5

I've tried all the suggestions in this topic ( except backing up all my files and re-formatting as I don't have the available space right now to do this ) and still get the error.

I used foobar2000 to re-write all my tags to ID3v2+ID3v1 and sorted them in media tagger by tag type to ensure that no ape existed.

I removed all album art also and I still get the Committing 1/7 message after I re-boot the player... I tried deleting the .tmp tagcache file numerous times and each time re-initialized but the message is always the same after re-booting and I noticed that the initialization of the tagcache runs for a much shorter period of time ( under 5 minutes before it stops )...

This only happens when I use recent cvs builds... When I revert back to a build from June, I can complete the tagcache ok.

I've been going at this all day and am out of idea's right now, so any help would be greatly appreciated
