Fuze V2 shuts down when playing m4a?

[mamamia88]

I was playing an m4a podcast earlier and the player shutdown and wouldn't turn on. i held down power for 30 seconds and was able to get it to turn on. it did this about 5 times in a row when trying to play file again. since converted the file to mp3 and it seems fine. could this really be just a codec problem? or is it a hardware problem that will recur eventually?

My .m4a files are playing OK. Are you using the build you compiled or the current build? There's been some work done recently on the .aac codec that may or may not relate to your problem. If it's not the current build I'd try that. If you still have the problem with the current build I'd head over to the Rockbox forums and ask there.

3.71 is the build i'm using. i switched from the usb enabled one on here to the official up to date build. like i said seemed to work fine as soon as i converted to mp3. just guess i will have to listen for extended period to see if it happens again

Did it work when you updated from 3.7.1? If not, please post a bug report on the tracker with a link to the file so that someone can take a look at it.

I had to edit the title it was driving me nuts, if you want the Vuse back in it feel free to change it back

I could be wrong and I would hope someone will correct me as I don't own a fuze but I checked their site and saw version is 02.03.33 for download here. BTW I found that version for v2 on their site but didn't see anything about 3.71 you mentioned, are you sure it's a v2?

3.7.1 is the Rockbox build, not the Fuze firmware.

3.71 is the stable Rockbox build. Thats called the release build. There are several builds issued every day. That's the current build. I believe that's what saratoga was asking.

If you are using the older 3.71 release build it's possible that the problem has been corrected in the hundreds of builds that have occurred since then. If not you should file a bug report.

Yes, 3.7.x was branched in October, so its fairly old. Before reporting bugs, its very helpful if you can try the current build (as in one from today). Otherwise someone else will have to verify that your bug hasn't already been fixed.
