Date: Sun, 1 Dec 2002 06:50:14 -0000 Hi there.. This is one of many bugs with the Archos firmware... If you are planning writing to Archos support, don't hold your breath, as I've written to them many times with issues such as these, without any real response. Just an automated reply!!! Knock-knock... Anyone at home??? I did however get through to someone in technical support in Holland.. That was a waste of time! I suppose it's a lesson learned, huh?? Albeit costly, in your case, Hali! I can't wait for the next version of Rockbox!!! V1.4 does all it's supposed to, and much better than Archos firmware. I'm sure the Rockbox recording function will be much more reliable!! Thanks for all your hard work guys!!! Thanks for the hardware, Archos!! Could do better with the firmware!

I just wanted to write to ask if any of you had any insight into the bug with the Archos firmware where recording for longer than 4 hours causes the recorder to crash and lose the mp3 file. I have verified with another Archos user in Germany that the same has happened with him as well. We were both using the 1.27d version of the Archos firmware. I was using the Digital input, and my friend in Germany was using the Line-in. My crash occured at 4h 05m. At around the two hour mark, the display split in half. What should have been displayed in the top half of the screen was in the bottom half, and vice versa. Sort of like a tv that lost it's v-hold. And then, at 4h 05m it completely hungup and was unresponsive. On bootup, the file 'new song.mp3' in which I was recording was no where in sight and my recording is gone. I'm currently trying to use easyrecovery on it, but i'm not keeping my hopes up. Anyways, I'm writing because I'm extremely frustrated with losing that audio (one of the best dj sets we had done at one of our residencies), and I'm hoping that the Rockbox crew is aware of this Archos bug, and will implement long recordings properly, unlike the Archos people. I'm actually surprised that they would release their product with a bug like this. Next time, I will test with the latest daily build of Rockbox for recording. Anyways, any help or insight on this would be great. Thanks for listening. Hali. Received on 2002-12-01 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
