I updated to the 1.27 beta and play from the previous position and play from previous song doesn't seem to work?
Every time I start up the X5 Gen2, it starts into the home screen... has anyone else had this issue?
I've also got about 9000 songs on there on two card and it seems to play some gongs a lot and not others too... It does seem quite random to an extent, but it seems to play certain songs from certain albums much more than others. This had always been the case with every firmware version though... including the X5 gen1 I had previously.
I had the same problem. It kind of cured itself:
After installing firmware 1.27 (from 1.24) I was disappointed that it hasn't fixed the problem. Tried to get some info from other people on the forum, but no response.
So I had the idea of reformatting the SD cards. This also in view of the fact that they haven't been formatted by the X5 II itself, but by a Windows tool called HPUSBDisk. Until firmware1.21 I didn't experience any problem from that. But I thought: who knows! So I took the cards out and began to copy the content on the computer HDD for recopying it later, after formatting. In the meantime I used an identical Samsung card with 128 GB and with the same formatting method, but different content, for slot 1 (slot 2 empty). To my surprise the Resume function was working. With one exception: In the mode «last position» it only worked when the song wasn't paused at its beginning; 1 s was sufficient to make it work.
Then I inserted two SanDisk cards (from the X5 [1]) – also with 128 GB and formatted with HPUSBDisk – with virtually identical content as the problematic ones, and they showed the same behavior; all I had to do was to avoid pausing the song at its beginning or to chose the «last song» mode. So far, so good. After the copying of the SD card intended for reformatting was finished, out of curiosity I inserted both problematic Samsung cards again. What was that?! The Resume function was working now! With said restriction. I haven't changed anything on them. And the player used the same (refreshed) database as ever. (BTW, clearing and refreshing the database were things I tried before without success).
So my proposition: Temporarily use another card with different content for slot 1 and refresh the database. After that, use the original card again and refresh the database. I'm curious if it will work also in your case.
A question to other users: Does your Resume function – set to «last position» – work when the player has been paused at the beginning of a song before switching off?
