Videos Freeze

[skarmachild]

Hey,

Basically, what happens is, almost everytime I play a video file on my GP2X, somwhere along the lines, it just stops. I can press 'Y' to have the little menu at the top come down, but I cant press anything or resume playback. The only thing I can do is turn it off and back on.

This has happened many times to me, and very frequent, the only times it hasn't happened was when I was in the bath + when im in bed (both times I arn't holding the console).

Any help?

does it freeze on anything else?

Not that I can recall, it's just videos.

are you playing videos in save mode? Are your batteries low?

this is very common, lots of ppl have this problem...... i have the same problem... even using new full charged battery and "full" mode.... nothing works....

 

[Hobohack]

think videos freeze at least once every half hour

dang, we need a new video player.
Videos only work for me on fully charged batteries on save mode, or else the high battery strain of full will freeze the gp2x.

Could be why, I only get a few hours battery life out of the GP2X with 2 fully charged Energizer 2500mAh.

Doubt that has anything to do with it, as everything else runs fine.
