Rockbox

Rockbox ver 2.3, OS ver 1.30j. Archos Jukebox FM
Recorder v2.

Playback stops mid-song. Frequency appears to be pretty
high (at least once every 2-3 days of regular play).
Could happen within 10 minutes or after several hours -
I have not determined anything consistent about the
issue. The red led comes on at the same time. The only
way to continue with playing or going back to a
different tune is to shut-down and restart the unit.
Shutdown requires at least an 8 second hold-down of the
off button (whereas the usual shutdown only requires 3
seconds). I tried a variety of different combinations
of buttons to get the unit going, but could not get it
to continue playing, or skip out of the track. Also,
the unit does not shut itself off after 30 minutes when
in this state, so it appears that the unit thinks play
is legitimate (idle timeout does not ever expire).

Problem occurs both with playlists and with playing
files in directories. There does not seem to be any
commonality between the files played (i.e., encoding,
size, etc.).

Unit has 8GB free, so it does not appear to be a space
issue.

Things I have not yet tried:
1. Rolling back to an earlier version, or using latest
build from CVS (I’m going to test that over the weekend).
2. Formatting the disk and starting again, which I’ll
try next week.
