I just loaded about 2GB of tunes onto my MK2 and that poped up on the serial console.

again v3.00a11 hijack v445 jEmpload v70

Nothing to worry about. When you upload tunes, the database files (/empeg/var/tags, playlists, database) are deleted. This causes the player to rebuild them.

This error just means that the player's noticed that they're not there and is going to rebuild them.

It's only when it doesn't rebuild them that you need to start worrying.

N2toh, you seem to be a relatively new user of the empeg. Is there a reason you're choosing to run unstable alpha software with known bugs, instead of the stable 2.0 final software?

Odd. Version 2 software should be entirely not-flakey. There are a lot of issues with version 3, but 2 should be solid as a rock.

If you were having trouble with it, I'd be concerned about other issues, such as hardware problems.

My opinion: You should get version 2.0 working stably and fix any hardware trouble you might be having, before trying alpha software. Multiple unrelated failures tend to cloud up any troubleshooting process.

after learning to use this sites search function properly I found the answer to the tags.cpp 61:failed to open tags problem, but jEmpload v70 and empload v2 still hang on the reboot most of the time. but the player will now boot without rebuilding.
