Freeagent Theater Plus crashes at shoutcast

I have the problem, that ever time i want to start a shoutcast radiostation with the "ok" button, the player says "invalid music file" ans crashes down...restarting. Does anyone know, what the problem could be? I will send it back, if it continious doing that i think.

Unfortunately this happens alot on this media player....  The shoutcast network feed is not active and therefore when the media player tries to connect via network it can not and instead of timing out... it reboots. 

 

Sometimes it will time-out, sometimes it just freezes for about 5 minutes or so, sometimes it locks up and you have to do a cold reboot, and sometime the player will do a warm reboot.

 

I get these reboots not only on network connection issues, but occasional when fast forwarding (x8 or greater) in the playing a local video file. 

 

Additionally, I have noticed that these reboots are more frequence since the the 1.45 update.

Getting an "invalid music file" on valid files is usually, but  not always, a problem with a corrupt firmware install.  Mostly this happens when you use the "auto updater" with the FAT+, but can come that way & can even happen with a Cold flash. 

 

Before you decide to send it back, try re-flashing the firmware using the COLD METHOD.
