player eventually freezes about adafruit_vs1053_library HOT 6 CLOSED

My PR did not actually fix the eventual freeze; I just hadn't waited long enough to find that out.
It still freezes after a while (at which point the entire sketch locks up). My current (not ideal) workaround is to manually call feedBuffer() and do a softReset() every once in a while.

Is there any better solution to this yet?
Thanks

Please give this version a try. Let me know if it solve the freezing problem?

Also, you might try with Arduino 1.5.8, which has the newer SPI library with transaction support.....

not sure but we've just pulled some lock-tweaks - please reopen if it still happens!

Hey, I hate it when OP abandons the thread, but unfortunately I won't be able to confirm the fix in the foreseeable future as I'm busy with other projects. Thanks for working on it though, hopefully the next person to use this will benefit.

Just a note that I ran into this problem today using the Adafruit VS1053 Library (v1.2.1) with the Adafruit Feather nRF52840 board and Adafruit MP3 Featherwing.

I built a simple MP3 player that reads all .mp3 filenames from the SD card and plays MP3s with the musicPlayer.startPlayingFile function. You can navigate next/previous using either Serial commands or buttons. For example, pressing n in Serial Console would start playing the next song.

Needless to say, startPlayingFile was intermittently but consistently crashing—sometimes after playing parts of 3 songs, sometimes 10 or 15 but eventually it would happen if you hit "next" enough.

I tried a range of things but eventually landed on calling noInterrupts() before musicPlayer.stopPlaying() and then not re-enabling interrupts myself but instead relying on the fact that the musicPlayer.startPlayingFile function calls interrupts() itself (and thus re-enables interrupts there).

Hope it helps someone.
