Hello!
Just managed to install Starkey's NDBM (apparently well) and tried to listen some vorbis on my neuros FOR THE FIRST TIME.
I succeed in importing them regularly into neuros , and indeed they appear in neuros' song menu, but The bad surprise is that as soon as I try to play them Neuros totally stops responding, remaining still on the screen I was on and not responding till a brutal (up+play) shutdown.
I browsed around the web but found no reference of such a problem.
I read about some glitches in ogg files got from pre-1.0 ogg encoders, but this is different: I hear absolutely nothing and the Neuros freezes immediately after I tell him to play any ogg file.
Moreover, I used this encoder:
OggEnc v1.0.1 (libvorbis 1.0.1)
(c) 2000-2003 Michael Smith <msmith@xiph.org>
I didn't post it to bugzilla because if this were a bug someone would have noted it yet, since it requires no special action or cirumstances.
Notice that this happen 100% of the times, and the ogg files I tried play all right on my PC, and that I tried various quality settings in the encoder.
I fear that it involves my Neuros hardware.
Could anybody supply to me a (preferably small) .ogg file known to behave well on the neuros, so I can try it on mine?
Should I pass this issue through to bugzilla, or somebody has any idea?
Thanks,
Marco. |

Whoops!
I forgot tech details:
I use NeurosDBM.1.40, with j2re-1_4_2_04-linux-i586.rpm on linux redhat 8.0, and tested with several firmware (1.45, 2.11, 2.13, 2.16, with no difference on this issue), each preceded by a NAND format.
I have Neuros 128 MB no HD.
Cheers. |

Marco,
Please post how you're encoding your ogg files. That'll help us help you. I haven't had a hard lockup playing ogg files since 2.x, and rarely had them after DI rolled the Ogg support into the official firmware. over 90% of my songs are oggs, encoded with -q 5 or -q 6. |

Ok, sorry, I spoke too early.
The problem seem to be disjoint from ogg support.
It seemingly just regard NDBM and the way it builds up neuros database.
In fact my Neuros freezes on ANY file imported via NDBM.
I noticed that NDBM -a (add file) option doesn't work , but rather that I have to copy a file on the neuros and then do a rebuild.
And NDBM stores the databases in a directory named ndbm rather than the normal WOID_DB used by the firmware OS and Positron (which works indeed for me). I have to investigate further.
Anyway I'm in the wrong place, I'll resort to NDBM forums.
thanks to kroning for his interest anyway.
Bye,
Marco.

Just for the sake of the people here that don't frequent the NeurosDBM forums, NeurosDBM does store the database in WOID_DB. That's the only place the Neuros Firmware looks. What gets stored in the ndbm directory is backups of your old databases.
Marco, hope it gets straightened out for you. |

All settled right, thanks.
Indeed, the problem was (I'm guessing anyway) just that NDBM wasn't writing WOID_DB, because it was thinking to handle a backpacked Neuros.
The solution was simply to add a DeviceType=1 in configuration.
I'm saying this to help any people who will have the same problem and will search through this forum.
To focus the solution I had to install a previous version of NDBM, which was a bit kinder and asked me the devicetype at firstrun, and then backtrace the corresponding line in config file of ndbm to add it to the newest version's one. phew.
My advice to Starkey, if he's reading, is to bring back the question at firstrun in latest version of NDBM.
Other than this small thing, I find NDBM the best tool around, it works perfectly and simply, my heartfelt thanks to Starkey!
Bye,
Marco. |
