Does this still happen after r17875?

build 17876.
The problem persists.
The same sympthoms.
Problem with hanging when playing long files seems gone.

Could you report the exact values displayed on the buffering debug screen?
I'm especially interested in the number of handles, but the other values might be useful too.

Exact values on the buffering screen all zeros.
RAM usage, handles count, all zeros.
By the way, this error happens only in the end of directory.
My directory layout is:
music
Brahms
Op025 ...
1- Allegro.flac
2- ...
...
4- ...
...
Op054 ...
Song of destiny ... flac
...
Spohr
...
...

e.t.c

There are many directories that contain only one track. I think, it is why this error hard to reproduce by others...

For example, playing Song of destiny.flac, the only track in directory, while it playing, I browse file system and when Song of destiny ends press play on selected track in Spohr directory, the buffering thread dies with beforementioned sympthoms. I can walk, delete - all I want except play ANY track - until reboot.

Is this still happening with a brand new build? Does enabling or disabling directory cache make any difference?

It happens also in build 17987.
I'll try to disable directory cache (slo-o-o-ow)

Yet again. Now on iAudio X5. Last build. Disabled dircache. D2 WPS.

When I press PLAY on selected (in browser) track just about end of playing track, it is happens. Now playing screen points to first track on device.

Here is my config.cfg on Gigabeat

Build 18148.
It happens again and again...

Situation the same.
Very anoying with my method of listening (browse files near the end of directory for to decide what to listen next.
Where can I get version before this !@#$%^ change (near april 2007, there was very good and stable version)? I need it at least for Gigabeat F20.

Does this only happen with FLAC? I couldn't repro it (with your settings), but I was using only MP3s.

Any format (testing mp3, flac, ogg, aac, mpc).
If you try to browse files at the end of directory (directories I have contain 1-5 files usually), the buffering thread hanged.
There are 'Unknown artist' and 'Unknown album' on the screen. Only shutdown helps.
ANY new build, 18789 at least.
On X5L and on F20.
I wonder, is there anybody to observe this error, or all using random or album-oriented style.

I think I've just reproduced *something* in the simulator (H300) with MP3s.

Basically I select a file from the file browser in the last 4 seconds of the last track in a playlist. This initial selection then fails to play (I return straight back to the browser), and if I then select the same track again it plays ok but the track index is out by 1 for subsequent tracks (i.e. it displays 1,1,2,3 rather than 1,2,3,4 - and the playlist viewer is similarly confused).

Pressing STOP and restarting sorts it out in this case though, so not as bad as you're suffering.
