Problem: H120 freezes while skipping during cross-fading

[Struppi]

Hello,

has anyone of you experienced this behaviour?
I'm using a daily build from around end of january 2007 but had this as well with a build from december 2006 on my iRiver H120.
When I press the skip button for the next song while two other songs are cross-fading rockbox freezes and I have to wait till it runs out of power. (that's the most annoying part otherwise I would turn it off and on again)

You can do a hard reset (stick a paperclip into the reset hole on the base) to avoid this part, at least...

I'll test the problem later when my player has recharged

OK, I'm asking myself why didn't I remember that.  
So that's how to get it quickly up and running again.
If someone confirms the error I'll open an bug report in Flyspry.

Doesn't do that for me...

If I skip again whilst cross-fading during a skip, it just jumps direct to the next track.

The best thing you can do is reset settings, set just the cross-fade on again, then test it again.

I recently had some problems with high bitrate oggs skipping that never had that behaviour before. I reset settings and loaded up a known good config and the problem went away. I still don't know what the problem was, but I'm happy!

I did what you suggested.
Now it's working fine.  
Thank you for your support.

No problem...

In common with every other consumer electronics device in the known universe, turning things off then on again or resetting them almost always does the trick...
