| 1375773 | 2014-05-27 11:22:00 | Good point - but they are all about 240MB (typically 239.3MB). At least the ones that play are this size - I will report back once I have gone riding again. | johnd (85) | ||
| 1375774 | 2014-05-31 07:00:00 | Fine day today so went riding. Recorded 8 files of a total of 1.9 GB before the issues started. There are another 20 files totally about 4.3 GB. When I try to play any one of these I get "An error occurred. Could not determine type of stream" in Totem and if I try to play with VLC Media Player, nothing happens. I don't believe this is a Linux issue since as I have said before I can transfer the files to a MS W7 PC and the same files do not play. I guess the next step will be to try another memory card but I will have to purchase one. Interestingly the disk tool in Linux and properties of the disk say it is 33.5GB but it is printed onto it as 16GB. | johnd (85) | ||
| 1375775 | 2014-05-31 09:09:00 | I'd be suspecting that media. What filesystem is it? <edit>: just read earlier post FAT32 ... does it pass a chkdsk? Can you copy a boatload of stuff to it and see if you get similar issues? |

| 1375776 | 2014-05-31 09:12:00 | FAT32 - been reformatted several times. I will try the boatload idea later - good idea. | johnd (85) | ||
| 1375777 | 2014-05-31 10:31:00 | So I stuck a truck load of office files onto the card - all seemed fine. I then took 10 videos from my HDD and tried them - some icons displayed with no pre-view but unlike the ones recorded on the device, all played. | johnd (85) | ||
| 1375778 | 2014-06-01 08:01:00 | Over 2GB worth of content from another source? What about a >2GB single file? Still sounds like media issue... dying at 2GB. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1375779 | 2014-06-01 08:48:00 | OK - thanks people. I did have to spend money and it was the fault of the media. I guess the original 16GB micro-SD was relatively cheap, slow and probably nasty. Today I bought a quality 16GB SanDisk high speed micro-SD and at least on the first ride I did with it, the problem seems to have gone. A lesson here for me - to stop being such a "gorse bush pockets"! | johnd (85) | ||
