BUG? RB freezing when entering Recording Screen while music is not stopped

<< < (2/4) > >>

Update:
I've installed the daily build from January 13th, and noticed a small change-
Now the Iaudio doesn't freeze on entering the recording screen, but it's only an allusion. If I don't stop the music (i.e. it's either playing or paused), though I can hear the input, the meters aren't responding and if I press record or exit it freezes completely.
I should notice that upon entering the screen, and before pressing either record or exit, I can still change the Volume and Gain options. After it freezes, no key is responding, obviously, but I can still hear the input.

I'd love to test this out. Should be getting the x5 back soon they say. I never did experience this except when writing the code and I guess I'll mention again I tested that explicitly to make sure it didn't happen. Not sure what changed or why it should only be the iAudio and not the iRiver models too but timing differences could be it within playback.c. There is a bug I know about in playback.c and haven't fixed yet re: the first audio buffer init...could be it too. So long as I can duplicate this it should be fixable.

It sounds like it's getting stuck during loading the encoder somehow. The audio heard is just the monitoring which doesn't involve the recording code.

I have the same problem. I frequently update rockbox and yesterday i uploaded the latest build but when i entered the recording screen rockbox stopped responding again. I don't know what does it depends on. Sometimes it works but sometimes not.

jhMikeS:
I have been able to test and x5 does have some quirks. I've not had a full freeze right offbut have seen the peakmeters run very slow and it's rather unresponsive. It's like something is looping around somewhere and hogging all the CPU. Trying to record under those conditions just makes it so it cannot flush. Atm I have no idea. I did have it lock _after_ the slowdown occurred.

Thought I'd add my piece here: I am able to reproduce the freeze just as painless-shadow described (using Feb 27 build, I think) - no slow meters (no meters at all, in fact). I'm also unable to turn unit off when this happens - the only way I'm able to turn it off is either by resetting or putting it into hold mode (for which I've configured to shut LCD down) and quickly switching it off. If I wait too much on the middle "on" state, no shutting down either.

Thank you =)
