Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2005 21:52:03 -0500 Hi all, I've looked through the old archives for this mailing list and not been able to find any discussions on the move to next folder problem in the most recent builds of rockbox, although I know people are aware of the problem. I wanted to state some of the things I've found about it in the hope it provides enough clues that it could be resolved. The problem (as of version 050913-1622) is that when configured to move to next folder, when the last song in a folder finishes playing, rockbox splashes the 'Codec failure' message and stops playing. This happens when playing ogg vorbis files. It does not happen when playing mp3 files (mp3's work as expected and play the first song in the next folder). I've discovered a couple of interesting things though. First, when the last song in the current folder is playing, I can click RIGHT (joystick on my H120) and it does correctly go to the first song in the next folder. So manually advancing to a song in the "next folder" works. Second, while letting the last song in the current folder play to its end, I navigated to the Info/Debug/View audio thread display and watched the meters while that last song played. Surprisingly, at the end of the song, it correctly played the first song in the next folder! So, here I let rockbox detect the end of the folder and automatically advance to the next song and it works, provided I am viewing that debug screen. But, if I am sitting on the normal WPS, it fails to advance to the next folder. I've been trying to resolve this problem myself, but I have a great deal still to learn about rockbox code. One thing I found was that in playback.c, in codec_request_next_callback, in the block of code after the comment /* Codec requested track change (next track) */, at the end of that code block is this if statement: if (tracks[track_ridx].filesize == 0) { ci.stop_codec = true; new_track = 0; last_index = -1; queue_post(&audio_queue, AUDIO_PLAY, 0); return false; } When I test the move to next folder functionality using mp3 files, that if statement tests true (filesize == 0). But, when I test with ogg vorbis, the if statement tests false (filesize != 0). Hopefully, this information is helpful. I'm new to the mailing list and I'm sorry if I am rehashing stuff you already knew.
