Error accessing playlist_control file

Kiski · 07-06-2008, 17:23

When trying to resume playing a file, it gives me an error about accessing the playlist_control file.

Can any tell me how to fix this?

(P.S. yes I'm a total noob)

From what shotofadds tells me this is currently expected. I get it too but I am still able to get RB to play my music. Note however, that it takes RB about 5-10 seconds to produce any sound.

It gives you that error because rockbox can't write to D2's internal memory and it can't write for itself the place where you stopped listening, playlists, settings and all these information that need to be stored somewhere.

Well, you're all correct (it's because the temporary playlist file can't be written to disk), but for some reason I didn't get around to adding this to the Known Issues list. Don't worry about it though, it won't stop you playing music.

I'm working on fixing the delay - seems it's specific to the D2 as none of the other devs have seen this problem. Guess I'm on my own with this one...
