Cannot create bookmarks

[Wordygreatminds]

None of the bookmark features seem to be working. I cannot create bookmarks manually and it isn't asking me if I want to bookmark when I stop. Is this a known problem? Is there a way to get bookmarks working?

So you cannot create a bookmark during playback?
"long select" and then "Bookmarks -> Create Bookmark"

I've tried that, and the player does nothing.

Should I try updating to a more recent build?

What do you mean with nothing?
Is the menu visible?

It should create a file <track>.bmark in the current directory
If you open such a file it will start playing at the specified location.

The "Recent bookmarks" menu can only be used if you enable
"General Settings -> Bookmarking -> Maintain a list of recent ..."

I have 'Maintain a list of recent bookmarks' enabled.

Whenever I select 'Create bookmark', nothing happens, no confirmation message, no error message- its as if I haven't pressed the 'o' button.

I've tried showing all files and browsing to the location of the mp3 I wanted to bookmark, but there is no .bmark file to be found.

Puh That sounds strange
I dont have an H10 so I cant tell for sure
But you should at least try to update to an actual build
if you dont already have

the only way i have been able to create a bookmark is by having it create one on stop, that works pretty much half the time. the other half, i get a bookmark failed error message. if i restart playback and stop immediately afterwards, a bookmark is created.

trying to create a bookmark does not work through the -> menu, pushing and holding play or -> does nothing, it has been like that since the first rockbox for h10 builds for me all the way up to daily build 112206.

Ok I think I found something

It will not work if you are playing a playlist that has been
modified (inserted or deleted tracks)

The "Create Bookmark" menu is visible but will do nothing

Dont know why this is coded this way

im not doing anything, no playlist, no nothing

cant create bookmarks on my h10 20gb....I cant get it to bookmark on stop, or manually.

update:

It looks (from googling) that bookmarking does not work when id3chache is enabled. However, where is the option to disable it? I cant find it anywhere.

Well yes and no. My experience with current builds on a 6GB H10 is that if you select a track via the Files menu then bookmarking DOES work as advised, i.e. when you stop playback or turn off the player, a bookmark is created aytomatically. But if you select tracks via the Database menu, which is using the ID3 database, then bookmarks are not created.
