Hello World :)
Attached is a VBR WMA music file, which fails to play correctly on my “RockPod” iPod Nano.
The same file decodes perfectly using the latest ffmpeg build.
Therefore I can only assume there is something about this file which triggers a bug in the Rockbox-specific WMA decoder.
Also attached is a microphone recording of the sound which comes out of my iPod when Rockbox attempts to play the faulty WMA.

I have over 3000 WMA tracks, all encoded using an identical method, all of which will not play correctly in rock box, so if you would like any more examples, or information, please ask.

Thanks for all your help :)
(If there is any way I can help debug/update the code for the wma decoder, please let me know where to start, I understand the C source code pretty well)

~Andrew

also category:
Some containers, like Matroska MKA or like Ogg can contain numerous audio tracks, for example the whole AudioCD contained within single Ogg file.

For example VideoLAN.org plays such files ok, while fails to show separate tracks/tags in playlist.

However, RockBox justs freezes and until reboot can no longer play music (each file is detected as having zero duration)

example can be found: [link deleted - it was a full copyrighted album]

This is actually release 3.5.1

I have quite a few low bitrate .wma audio files that play fine in the original firmware, play fine in VLC, but skip, stutter, and hiss in Rockbox.

The file is 20kbps, 22 kHz, mono, Windows Media Audio V2.

I have attached a sample cut from a larger file. Like the original files, it plays fine in the original firmware and in VLC.

decode_packet in wmaprodec.c returns -1 almost immediately, most likely due to being passed corrupted data by the ASF parser, although I have not confirmed that to be the case. I've seen similar issues in WMA Std. Theres probably some ASF feature we do not correctly implement.

Hardware: Clip+ 8GB using internal memory
Problem: Playback of most APE files results into passages of loud noise during playback. The music is totally gone and noise is ear deafening loud. When rewinding, till music is heard, and replaying the problem part, error can be reproduced _sometimes_.
In other cases it either runs fine, or the problem occurs elsewhere in the file.

Since the problem does not always occur in a specific part of a APE file, it is hard to attach a sample file.

Problem persisted between ape files encoded in high and normal setting.
Using winamp + monkey audio 3.99 APE plugin, these files never shown problems.

When I play non-protected WMA files of 32 - 64 kbps and 44khz which have been ripped without changing anything from video on my Clip+ I get a garbled sound. I hear bits of sound all mixed up. This was true w/ 3.81 firmware and now w/ 3.9. The unexpected thing is that they all play normally w/ the Sansa firmware(Sansa firmware's volume is too soft for my taste Roll Eyes).

I am reopening  FS#11501  - Sansa Clip v2 FLAC playback skips regularly, which was closed because a sample file was not provided. I didn't think this was necessary because I stated it happened regularly with just about any file.

I am currently on build 30217. It skipped for me last night on this track:
http://www.archive.org/download/johnbutlertrio2011-07-24.lsdII.flac16/johnbutlertrio2011-07-24_lsdII_t07.flac

I cannot attach the track to this ticket because it is larger than 2mb.

Again, it is nothing inherent in that track: a second playthrough did not skip. That 16-bit/44.1khz track was generated with FLAC 1.2.1b using normal procedures.

This problem has occurred for any build I've ever tried on a clip v2 player.

Here is my original problem statement:

Build 27566 (and all previous builds), Sansa Clip v2.

playback of 16-bit/44khz FLAC format regularly will skip ahead to next track.

in a 60 minute playback session, it'll probably happen 2-3 times. this is not due to a defect in the FLAC files. it happens with any FLAC set I attempt.

this does not happen with the Clip v1 on the same build number.

this is my first bug submitted. I searched for duplicate reports but didn't find anything.

thank you!

I downloaded some AAC files from the bbc, using the get-iplayer utility. The files play just fine on the computer, but on my rockboxed Clip+, they seem to freeze up the player entirely. I have to hold the power button for a long time to reset it. I just tried updating to rockbox 3.9, but I'm not seeing any difference with the new firmware.

When I play the file in mplayer, it gives the following info:
major_brand: M4A
minor_version: 512
compatible_brands: isomiso2
encoder: Lavf52.64.2
========================================================================Opening audio decoder: [faad] AAC (MPEG2/4 Advanced Audio Coding)
AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 48.0 kbit/3.40% (ratio: 6000→176400)
Selected audio codec: [faad] afm: faad (FAAD AAC (MPEG-2/MPEG-4 Audio))

The .ape file I join make rockbox produce a horrible noise (like random audio) when seeking inside it. The original file was very large, so I created this one with:
dd if=original.ape of=test.ape bs=512 count=1000
So the produced file may not be correct, but it plays correctly in rockbox, and reproduces the bug, so I join it…

All i know is that this happened on 590mb tta file and after cutting it with cue splitter there was no problems with playback.

SVN:31187

When playing a sequence of two songs Rockbox on my HTC Desire S always crashes. I first had r30576-110921, and now it is r31516-120102. Cropped versions of the songs can be downloaded here:

http://www.vlado-do.de/rockbox/01_Wenn_die_Nacht_am_tiefsten_03m_08s_09h__03m_23s_22h.ogg http://www.vlado-do.de/rockbox/02_Wir_m%C3%BCssen_hier_raus_00m_00s__00m_28s_82h.ogg

They still reproducably crash my Rockbox. I found a workaround, though: mp3 versions of the same songs play all right. Rockbox for me still is the only known way to have gapless playback on my phone. Thanks for that guys!

Buy the way: the same ogg files made no problem in Rockbox on my old iPod nano.

Version: 91b52a1-120122

Running on Sansa clip zip, unable to play the following .ogg file (I can't try it on other Rockbox versions, maybe someone can?). Works fine played any other way.

www.quik.clara.co.uk/Wontplay_inrockbox.ogg

(too large to attach directly)

I have some stereo files that need to be encoded as two independent channels with no lossy stereo coupling. I encode these files by passing "–uncoupled" to the Opus encoder, e.g.

opusenc –bitrate 64 –framesize 60 –uncoupled example.wav example.opus

The lossless flac version of a sample of such a file prior to encoding can be downloaded from
http://kyle.tk/binaural-beat-sample.flac

If I do not pass the "–uncoupled" option to the encoder, the resulting Opus file plays with no trouble on my Sansa Clip+. The sample of this encoding is at
http://kyle.tk/binaural-beat-sample-64k.opus However, if I pass the "–uncoupled" option, sample at
http://kyle.tk/binaural-beat-sample-64k-uncoupled.opus Rockbox only plays a cacophony of chirps, scratches, squeaks and garbled noise, and no hint of the original sound is detectable.

Note: I have only been able to test this on a Clip+, as I own no other Rockbox player that is capable of playing Opus files at this time. Hopefully someone can confirm this problem on other targets, but for now, I have been able to reproduce it 100% on the Clip+, and I can confidently point to "–uncoupled" as the encoder option that results in an unplayable file.

When listing to a mp3 for some time there starts a massive random noise in the background. It will continue for some time when pausing or stopping playback and will also continue when starting another track.
I’ve noticed this when listening to a random list of mp3s of various sources and using speedup with 225% or 250%.

At the moment I’m using ee758c5 with my clip+.

First noticed the issue in the previous dev build, and just confirmed in 15fa7f8.

When playing .opus files, no metadata is displayed. Some files (92kbit stereo music files so far) do play fine otherwise. Others induce crashes upon attempting to play. An example is attached.

First test, I played a couple of music files successfully, then tried to play the attached file. System crashed immediately showing the following:
“Undefined instruction
pc:30000002 sp:300632[display cuts off here]
bt end”

Powered off, restarted, and tried to play the attached file immediately. After a second or so of audio, player crashed again:
“Undefined instruction
pc:08180002 sp:302029[display cuts off here]
bt end”

On the previous dev build, I was getting similar errors if I tried to play the attached file (or several other similar ones) after successfully playing other files, but would get a black-screen crash if I tried to play it immediately on powerup (this is not what is happening on 15fa7f8).

I am NOT experiencing these problems on another AMSv1 player (Sansa c240 [”c200v1”]) with the same dev build, so this may be specific to the Clipv1. On the c240 with both the previous build and 15fa7f8, metadata displays fine and the attached file plays without any apparent error.

After playing a few opus files (~128 kbps) the system becomes so unresponsive that it cannot decode the file in real time, and the device cannot respond to any input within a reasonable timeframe (have to hard power off).

This does not occur when you set the cpu frequency beyond the highest setting in the debug menu!

To reproduce:
play opus files in a playlist with normal cpu scaling
on beginning of 2nd or 3rd file, system will become unresponsive.

http://www.konscience.de/wp-content/uploads/kns017-maertyrer-gegen-copyright.m4a

The current build as well as 3.13 report and then fail:

parsing /kns017-maertyrer-gegen-copyright.m4a failed (format: ALAC)

However, foobar reports:

Codec profile : AAC SBR

Which is likely correct given that the bitrate is far too low to be ALAC.

There is an ALAC playback problem in daily builds (since 2014-11). The playback somethimes works for one song but then crashes and shows ALAC file details as "? kbit/s", "0 MHz", "0 MB" and nothing happens when I press the Play button. After reboot the problem occurs again. It makes the ALAC playback impossible.

Now I'm using revision 9cb9f76M-140326 with patches from aroldan:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b5xbw6cp4ikfxwn/MjELjmDNJ_

With this build there are no ALAC playback problems.

When playing music, I can hear codec errors in the music. It occurs every time on a certain song, and other songs that are smaller in file size, it does not occur on, but occurs on the next one. I believe it is a buffering issue, and makes the music unlistenable. I used the daily on 10/21/2015

On 320kb/s MP3s it occurs much more often, and 128kb/s MP3s it occurs less often, but when it occurs its a series of glitches that distort the music.

I am sure its not the MP3s themselves, because it doesn't occur in the official firmware, and when I rewind it, it does not make the same sound until later. It has a very prominent 'glitchy' sound and later it changes the speed of the song.

I replaced it with the 3.1.3 MP3 codec, and the same glitch occurs.

I do not have a line out so its made through the speaker, but the problem is so bad that you can hear it very clearly.

The MP3 was 320kb/s

Memo is the glitchy one, and Memo-1 is it being played correctly.

Create silence in Audacity program (Generate → Silence). Convert the wav file to ogg vorbis file. Put into the sansa clip+ player wav and Ogg files. Turn on the equalizer and set 32 hz, 64 hz, 125 hz in the 0.5-2.0.
Turn on maximum volume. Listen to the silence of wav file. Absolute silence. Listen Ogg Vorbis file - hear the noise (like the wind). It’s bug with only ogg vorbis. mp3, flac, mp4 is absolute silence.
On a musical files it’s additional noise. Ogg vorbis is economical of disk space. Testing on a sansa clip+ with 2GB.

I primarily use my unit for audio books while driving, but the latest build (as I write this) won't play one of the files properly. It tries to start, stuck at 0:00. Trying to seek hangs the player altogether, requiring a hard restart.

I've recreated this problem on a flaky Clip+ and an AGPTek Rocker.

The 'file' tool identifies it as: ISO Media, MP4 v2 [ISO 14496-14]

Here's what mplayer has to say (while playing it back properly):

[lavf] stream 0: audio (aac), -aid 0, -alang eng

Please refer to forum post for full exchange: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,52518.0.html

In summary playing ALAC will crash the unit, other codecs not as much. My reasoning is (as contained in the forum post):

Converting some of my ALAC collection to FLAC to test has given excellent results = no crashes. I am suspicious of the ALAC decoder; watching the VIEW BUFFERING THREAD there seems to be consistency:

OGG/MP3/FLAC/WAV: CPU Frequency goes up to 124 until pcm: becomes full, then drops to 45mhz and pcm: hovers (it is always active) near the top of 100%. Upon track change the cycle starts again (124mhz until pcm: becomes full). I don't seem to get crashes.

ALAC: CPU Frequency goes up to 124 until pcm: becomes full, then drops to 45mhz and pcm: quickly goes down (takes about 2 seconds) to 75%, then cpu switches to 124mhz to get pcm: back up to 100%. This goes on constantly (cpu high - low cycle) while a single track/file is playing. I am now believing this cpu going up and down constantly gives me the crashes. Note on crashes: I don't know when they will happen, sometimes after a minute or two, sometime after 10 minutes , there is no pattern I can tell.

Playing 320K MP3s pauses often in Version 3.15 and daily build 7d00533 also UI becomes unresponsive
Version 3.14 or older does not reproduce the issue in either 44 or 48khz sampling rate and same sound options
Is not reproducible under OF or Version 3.15 running on IPOD 6G
seems to be a cpu usage issue as compiling a version of rockbox with much higher than stock CPU clocks seems to alleviate the issue to an extent but there is still occasional pauses that is not present after reverting to 3.14 and stock 80 mhz clock speed.

Playing APE 24/44.1 with harsh noise in different parts of the track. If you decode APE file to WAV using the codec console, then there are no problems. So the matter is in the player’s APE decoder.

At 24/48 everything is fine.

On the Sansa C240 V1, to switch on the line level audio output on the dock connector pin 8 needs to go high. So jumping 3V+ from pin 22 will activate the line level audio. This works fine with the Sansa firmware but Rockbox produces no sound through the line level outputs on the C240, with pin 8 jumped or not jumped.

Setting the Idle Poweroff setting seems to work just fine initially because the player ceases to respond to any input. However, when you push the power button back up to turn it on, the screen lights up and says “Shutting down…” for a few seconds before actually powering off. You then have to push the power button back on to turn it on proper.

Build is r23841 and earlier.

Occasionally when I reboot to the iPod firmware, something has caused the previously unset alarm setting to be enabled and the playback mode is set to shuffle. This doesn't happen with every reboot, but does more than 50% of the time.

Steps to duplicate:

1. Disable the alarm and set the shuffle mode to "None" in the iPod firmware.
2. Reset and boot into Rockbox
3. Listen to a few tracks
4. Reboot into the iPod firmware and check the shuffle mode and alarm settings.

I can't confirm 100% yet as to the time on the alarm being reset as well, but it does seem to consistently read 6 AM - which is a bit of a shock if I've been listening in Rockbox during the day and then I reboot into the Apple firmware and dock in my iHome, expecting to sleep in late on the weekend.

After a lot of trial and error I found out the following.

It appears that 3.10 on my Clip V2 writes a bad nvram.bin file. When I try to set another interface language, my Clip freezes. It does not react to input and the clock in the top line doesn’t update anymore. The FM radio kept on playing though. I haven’t tried all available settings in the menu, just the ones I occasionally use. But the problem never occurred anywhere else, just upon selecting another language.

When I delete nvram.bin, I can set a language. Then I switch the Clip off and on again, and the problem comes back.

See attached the nvram.bin which causes a freeze.

PS.: No Sansa Clip in the Player Type selection on the left.

The config caused the iPod to appear frozen (frozen screen) after bootup. The iPod would boot, show the normal boot screen and then created a boot screen mixed with theme settings. Picture: http://imgur.com/E4srA the iPod refuse and refused to mount.

Fix:
1: Boot into recovery diskmode
2: Remove conflicting config.cfg
3: Reboot into normal mode

So far there's still two problem which have never been fixed on Android:
1.When opening Rockbox, its volume bump to max automatically whatever it was when last quit;
2.On most HTC(and probably other) devices one can't use physical volume keys to adjust. Volume bars in WPS and SBS work well however.

Hopes the fixes!

Reported Version: 3.15 not 3.14

Hello,

I am using a "SanDisk Sansa Clip+" and it seems that currently it is not possible to remove quickscreen entries when they are set, you can only overwrite them.

In the manual chapter "3.15 Quick Screen" has to be adapted, once this function has been implemented.

It would be very nice to have this possibility!

Rockbox hangs if the disk gets full during database creation.

The database hangs when doing initialization if there is no music file on the player.

How to reproduce:
1. Install Rockbox.
2. Put some music files onto the device.
3. Initialize database.
4. Reboot.
5. Remove all music files from the player.
6. Initialize database.

Build 20399

The database_changelog.txt is corrupted in that the wrong filename is associated with a track, this has happened before (pre v3.0), I had to write ascript to correct it.

Exampe row from log:

artist=”Teach Yourself” album=”Polish Conversation (Disc 3)” genre=”Books & Spoken” title=”Conversation 1: Booking A Hotel In Krakow” filename=”/iPod_Control/Music/Blur/Blur - Blur/14 Essex Dogs.mp3” composer=”<Untagged>” comment=”<Untagged>” albumartist=”Teach Yourself” grouping=”Conversation 1: Booking A Hotel In Krakow” year=”2006” discnumber=”3” tracknumber=”2” bitrate=”71” length=”640824” playcount=”0” rating=”0” playtime=”0” lastplayed=”0” commitid=”12” mtime=”955689818”

Hello.

I found that bookmarks which was automaticaly created (by the function Bookmark on Stop with set to Ask) from tagcache don’t work. Problem is in missing path to file in bmark file. I made more test and now I attach bmark where first line/bookmark is from tagcache and second line/bookmark is from files browser.
Both are on approximately same time.

I testted on Sansa c250 and Sansa Fuse2 with Rockbox r27481-100718.

Can anybody from developers focused on it, please.

Much more thanks.

In my sansa Fuze v2 build 28208 when I insert some album to the playlist and after that I insert another album to the playlist I got this error massege:

Data abort

FSR 0x8

thanks!

I've found a problem with the new autoresume feature in 3.8. I use it when listening to podcasts and sometimes find that it resumes from near the end of a new episode - e.g. on a 30 minute podcast it will resume from 28 or 29 minutes - usually about the place where a previous epidsode finished and I skipped past the end credits.

What I think is happening is that there is some code in the database that tries to resurrect the runtime statistics for files that have been deleted and then restored - as the last offset is in this data, it is reusing the last offset from an old episode.

I've put some more logf()s in tagcache.c in build_numeric_indices(). I can see that if the filenames don't match (line 2306) it then tries to match any 2 tags out of the 3: artist, album or title. For the podcasts, the artist and album are always the same (i.e. the producer and which one of their podcasts it is), but the title is different (i.e. "Episode 100", "Episode 101", etc). So if I've listened to Episode 100 and then deleted the file, and then add Episode 102 to the player, it matches the artist and album and so resurrects the wrong data from Episode 100.

I've disabled the resurrection based on tags (just commented it out) and the problem seems to have gone away. A better fix would be to ensure that all 3 tags or matched or to ensure that title is one of the matched tags

I don't know whenever it happens with other versions or not, all I got is Sansa Clipv1 to test with.
My configuration is Initialize once and auto update working.

It seems like the database items got duplicated for unknown reason. I seem to have up to 7 entry's of the same item inside the database. I am not sure what causes it, but that is what I've noticed.
[At first I thought it's a shuffle bug 'till I was going to debug it only to find the database is full of clones]

Hi there! I'm having a huge problem with the rockbox boot on an iPod classic 5G. I've selected a number of option in the tagcache settings, such as 'load to ram', and after it readed all the files (30GB of music) ask me to reboot, and finally it freezes on the message 'saving tagcache' [1/9], responding only when i press menu+select for reboot. The same for the usb connection. I can't manipulate the files in any way!

Please excuse my limited English. Greetings from Argentina and congratulations for the fantastic project!

Using r30284

Initialization of the database, from scratch, on the Fuze v2, using a fresh SVN build, fails when committing.

It scans all files, gets to committing 4/9, then hangs at “building database, N files found”.

If I reboot, it tries to commit on reboot, stops at 4/9, then boots into rockbox with no database (ie it asks me to initialize if I try to view it).

Attached are my database* files.

This is a bug in post-3.9 code, as I don’t have the problem with a 3.9 release.

Tested on r31173:

Deleted tracks are still visible after the automatic database update when the player boots. These tracks vanish as soon as I add some files. It also doesn't seem to matter if the dircache is enabled or not. Manually updating the database from the menu works as intended.

Hi, firstly i put Sansa c200 because SansaClip+ is not available in the list.
My player is a Sandisk SansaClip+ bought 6 months ago with an 8Gb class 4 Sandisk microsd (that is currently empty, no songs stored).

Steps to reproduce the issue (after a fresh installation of the Firmware, no settings changed):

1) Switch on
2) → database
3) → track
4) select any track
5) press the central button
6) Erase Dynamic Playlist? is displayed.. Select Yes
7) countdown then starts to play
8) Seek to the next song (it happens at the first seek or might need three, four one after the other)

- I installed version 3.10 on top of version 3.09, but later on I tried to uninstall completely 3.10 and reinstall it from scratch and the issue is the same.

- After the crash i have to keep the "switchoff" button pressed for a while.. then I press it again to restart the player and I try to resume the song I get "playlist control file is invalid" or "nothing to resume"

- behavior is the same with or without the SD card

- The issue was randomly happening (but very very rarely) also on the previous version of the firmware (3.09) I got the error a couple of times in 6 months.

Experienced Results:
I have 2 folders(lets call them FolderA and FolderB) each containing audio files.
FolderA and FolderB are both on the root of my drive
Neither one has a database.ignore file in it.
I go to settings → general settings → database → update now
All files are added to the database as expected
…But i realize i dont want FolderB to show up in the database.
I add a database.ignore file at /FolderB/database.ignore
Then I go back in and update the database again(settings → general settings → database → update now)
all of my audio files still show up in the database(including the ones in FolderB with the database.ignore file)

Expected Results:
After adding the database.ignore file to FolderB and updating the database(settings → general settings → database → update now) the audio files in FolderB should no longer appear in the database

Summery:
Any files in a folder containing a database.ignore file should be removed from the database on update

Rockbox Info:
Build Version: daily / e3cddc2-120701

It seems that operators are discarded when used in a tagnavi.config (or tagnavi_custom.config) format line condition.

For example,

%format “fmt_abtitle” “*%s - %02d:%02d” title Lm Ls ? playcount > “0” & lastoffset == “0” %format “fmt_abtitle” “%s - %02d:%02d” title Lm Ls Now if we used “fmt_abtitle” instead of “fmt_title” in the default tagnavi file, we would expect all tracks with a playcount greater than 0 and lastoffset equal to zero to be prefixed by three asterixes (*). Instead ALL the tracks with a playcount greater than zero are prefixed, leading me to think that the & lastoffset == “0” part is discarded. If I make the following change:

%format “fmt_abtitle” “***%s - %02d:%02d” title Lm Ls ? lastoffset == “0” & playcount > “0” %format “fmt_abtitle” “%s - %02d:%02d” title Lm Ls

Now all tracks with a lastoffset equal to zero are prefixed, which again proves that the and operator was clearly ignored and unparsed.

I am having a couple of problems with Rockbox on my iRiver H140.
The first issue is that all my songs in the files folder are displaying only in the order
that they were uploaded onto the machine. If I go into the settings and choose to display
Artists in alphabetical order it doesn't have any effect! I am left to endlessly scroll through
the names or listen through the iriver player which doesn't play WAVs or FLACs so i can't access everything.
Secondly, if I start up and resume playback of an album it doesn't then allow me to access the files folder when I navigate to it. I have to then restart my player and go to files from there. If I later come out to the main menu and choose Files, or any folder for that matter, it won't open. It's really frustrating. Any ideas of a fix?

I cat choose folders to be scan into database. When I select some folder I don’t get confirmation if I want scan database, when I back to screen with folders none of selected folders are selected. I try to set them in config file manually and reread file into rockbox after start but it didn’t help either.

If I can collect some logs or screenshot pleas tell me how I will do it.

I was recently renaming some of the music files on my Sansa Clip+ MP3 player using my computer. Some of the renames were as simple as changing the case of some of the letters in the filename, from uppercase to lowercase. After I disconnected my device, I noticed that there were duplicates of certain entries in the database. Upon further investigation, I realized that all of the entries that were duplicated were the files that the names of which I had renamed by changing the case of the letters. After I discovered this, I tried to rename a file in this manner using the device. When I tried to save the file with the new name, the screen showed a box that read “Rename Failed.”
Apparently, at least for Sansa Clip+, RockBox has a problem with renaming files by changing the case of the letters. Let me know if any other RockBox devices have this problem as well.

Version 9e186e34ab-190820

i have an ipod 7th gen
rockbox installed
140.000 titles

database contains in unpredictable many cases of the folders 2 times the same title
not in all folders, but it happens very often that i open one and i see all titles 2x although they are only 1x on the sd card

the files exist only ONCE
but the database keeps listing them all 2 times

i rebuilt it several times, but the database keeps on doing that

any hint what i can do?

start as apple / itunes and delete rockbox folder / install new did not help

firmware/export/usb_ch9.h comes from linux (include/linux/usb/ch9.h) with only trivial changes. The original doesn’t mention a specific license, so it probably is GPLv2
file basically contains only structure declarations and defines for things straight from the USB specification though, so I’m not sure if there is a real problem.

I am running 3.4 on a 5.5G iPod modified with a 240gb drive. Rockbox is stock 3.4 with LBA48 added in and the max sector size turned off. The database was working ok on 3.3. Only issue was it took forever to add new files. After upgrading to 3.4 I noticed every time I powered on rockbox would lock up in the menus for up to 10 minutes before functioning normally. So I completely removed the .rockbox dir (including the database files of course) and re-expanded a fresh copy. I then tried to init the db. It runs until it is around ~44k files and 99% and then just sits there. If left alone it will eventually just turn it self off. When I turn it back on it will ask me to init the db again. I have seen it try to commit once or twice but it never takes. I am not really sure how to debug this at this point. Also in the debug disk info area, it things my drive is 131071MB. Under Rockbox Info it says 223GB which is better, but these two things are the same as in 3.3. All my Oggs are converted via a script I wrote from my flacs. I do not believe my flacs have any art, I am not even sure you can store art in a flac tag and even them I don’t think the ogg encoder is transferring them. I ran a tag dump (ogginfo) against my oggs and do not see anything to do with album art. I had 4 files on the device with album art. They were all in a directory with a database.ignore file. So they should not have been noticed. Just in case I removed that directory and rebuilt. It went though 44k files, commited 1-9 and then went back to “scanning” but the disk activity had stopped. Upon reboot it asked me to init the db again.

This is not a patched build. I simply changed the config to include large drive support. This is an issue that needs to be looked at. Please check into it, I will be happy to test any ideas.
