sporadic, random playback freezes on Gigabeat

(1/5) > >>

michael.conner:
I'm getting random playback freezes on my F40.  It's fairly infrequent (has happened maybe five times over the last five weeks) and has happened with various daily builds from that time (including one from yesterday.)

What happens is this: playback stops mid-song or just after beginning playback and the Gigabeat becomes unresponsive.  Looking at the LCD, I still can make out the peak meters, and there seems to be no legible error message.  I have to use the battery switch on the bottom of the unit to reset it. It's happened primarily with Ogg Vorbis q4 files; however, it also happened last week with a 56k mono MP3 file.  The files themselves will play back fine after resetting the unit.  It's happened with and without crossfeed on. The only other non-default setting I have is replaygain on.

Anyone else having this? 

Llorean:
I will say I haven't had a single freeze on my Gigabeat, period, over the last three weeks, and that's with a very large amount of use.

What SVN revision are you using right now, and do you know when the first freeze happened? (And of course, I assume, no patches).

michael.conner:
I'm using r12617-070305 right now, no patches.  I'd have to say that it first happened sometime in the first week of February (when I first received my unit)... sorry that I can't be more specific.

Mad Cow:
I've had 2 similar freezes, I've started using the Gigabeat about a week after rockbox came out for it. The same thing happened except the screen slowly faded into thin, random coloured lines. Both times playing mp3's (not sure of bitrate) I also have an F40.

Llorean:
Have you been using playlists, the database, or folder based playback, and what sort of shuffle options are you using?
