Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2003 13:53:08 -0500 Much better troubleshooting info. Now that we know that all the basic stuff is taken care of, I can verify that this file does also crash my recorder 6Gb running 2.0. So is this a rockbox issue, or a non-valid file? The file plays fine with the original, the file plays fine in wmp. I took a quick look at the headers for the file. It seems that the file and headers are incorrect. Using both mp3-Info,winamp, and wmp, the players show a bitrate of 64kbit while playing, yet the headers state it is a 384kbit bitrate in all 3 programs. Also, the players show it as 44k frequency while the headers have it as a 48k file. Of course this screws up the total time of the file. So obviously this is a bad file, however archos firmware, wmp, winamp, etc play this file. This could be another error checking bug/feature that we can flush out. Just my $0.02, I am sure others will have more insight than I, Chris lee donaghy wrote: > --- Chris Hoekstra <chris_hoekstra_at_hotmail.com> >wrote: > >it crashes on version 2.0 >CBR 64kbps 2 channel (stereo) 44khz audiobook segment >recorder 20 > >i don't discount it may be a bad file but thought the >fact it runs ok on the original archos firmware was >pertinent. > >http://www.ghostpilot.co.uk/24-40_Wyrd_Systers.mp3 >7.5mb file > > >ROM 1.26 >Mask 0x0302 >USB: positive >ATA: 0x200 >PR: positive >Freq 11.0592Mhz > > > > >>I have had this problem before, with a 320kbps file. >> I made available >>the file for testing, the guys checked it out, and >>it turned out there >>was a bug in the code that they weren't allocating >>enough buffer size >>for the 320kbps files.
