codec failure - gigabeat

[irocarol]

First off, I want to say thanks because I LOVE rockbox! I hadn't updated it in a couple of weeks, and lately I added a ton more music to it. When I did that I noticed that I could get one album playing but when I'd try to pick another everything would disappear so I'd basically have to listen to that album until I restarted it.

Tonight I tried updating it to the latest version and now (after I updated the database to separate into album/artist/genre...etc) it won't play anything. I can navigate around but everytime I have something highlighted it says "codec failure". I can change settings and themes just fine..but it just won't play any music!

What should i do? I tried going back to an older version just to see if I can get anything to play but that didn't work either. I'm kind of stuck and new at all of this.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Could you describe how you've done your update? You have unzipped the rockbox.zip file onto your gigabeat again haven't you? Not just copied over the new rockbox.gigabeat ?

There's also an updated bootloader.  I'm not sure this is related to your specific problem.  Since you've loaded a newer build, hopefully you've updated the bootloader as well.

Sounds as if you use a new rockbox.gigabeat but an old .rockbox folder...

You guys were right on the money...didn't get the current bootloader.  oops! It's always the most simple thing isn't it...

thanks so much for the help!
