Rockbox

I'm experiencing the same problem.

At first, read  FS#9697  comment.

When it doesn't succeed in the method of writing in the comment or the situation is different,
then please try following though it is likely not to become a complete solution.

if you are using MS Windows, then please make the database again by using songdb.exe.
(If you are using Linux, then please make utils/songdb/songdb using latest Rockbox sources + FS#9371 patch.)

On command prompt, the following execute.
$ songdb.exe -r (your player's drive letter) -s (music file stored folder) -m create > songdb.log

For example, if your player's drive letter = H:\\, music files include H:\\music, then
$ songdb.exe -r H:
-s /music -m create > songdb.log

Please upload songdb.log when the database files(.rockbox/database_*.tcd) is not made by the above mentioned method.

Please upload all made the database files when the search result is not correct though the database file was made.

   songdb.exe (670.7 KiB)

Apologies for such a delayed reply.

I have finnaly managed to try your suggestions.

Running songdb.exe (under windows Vista) reports a sucessful tag cache creation, but no database file gets created - the only database files under the .Rockbox directory are:

database.ignore
database_tmp.tcd

the tcd file is 0 K in size after running songdb.exe

   songdb.log (196.8 KiB)

Confirm thanks.

Your result is very strange.
The log message is not corresponding to the state of the database file.

I added log messages to the songdb.exe.

Could you create the database by using the songdb.exe again?
And could you upload the sondb.log, database_tmp.tcd and database_tmp.tcd2 (if exists) ?

   songdb.exe (670.7 KiB)

Well I'm not sure what it was about your additional loging, but it liked it - the database successfully built.

Would you still like me to upload files for reference?

Best regards

If the database is constructed with the player that you are using, this problem doesn't occur, these need not be sent.

The database only builds using the sondb.exe file you provided. If I do a database build from the player, it still fails with the tagcache error.

I think the reason for the Stkov tagcache error message is, if you have MP3's in the 6'th or lower Subdirectory Level.

–> 1\2\3\5\6\my-musik.mp3

After an update from r17554-080517 to the current build i get on database creation the same error message.
(the battery of my H340 was broken and so the player did'nt work. now i've a new one )
So i tried to find the reason. Filesystemerror –> i ve formatted the disk new and when i copy back
the files (2-3 directorys –> create new database) to find errors in my mp3's.
The error occurs if i copy back files in the 6'th subdirectory level.

Hi, is this bug still present in a current build of rockbox?
on June 30 a fix for  FS#10396  which sounds like a similar issue was committed
so it would be useful to know if this is a separate issue or has already been fixed.
