MUSIC: Seek-bar not moving, playing time not running

Hi there, I recently recieved sflo:2 from x-mass preorder.
Firmware: 2.30 (by default)
When I play music the seekbar is standing still and the playing time is 00:00:00... the seeking via touchscreen is OK.
Is this by desing or what?
I tried reset the player - no change.

what music file type. wma? mp3?
no, its not by design and not a common problem, this could be down to corrupted media files as its fine on mine

also whne i move seekbar through the song it always stays on the last position...
the files are played from internal memory

do the correct song name and album name appear correctly also, or do they just say "unknown"

Just to clarify, are the songs actually playing?

songs are playing fine
name of album/song is OK
seeking via touchscreen is ok
just seekbar stays still and the time on the left side (i guess it is a "playing/elapsed time") is always 00:00:00 (or the time to which i seek manualy)

That's quite strange. Do yu still have the original mp3 file that is preloaded on the sflo2, if so please try that song to see if the time changes.

jeeez, i was listening my music on my way from work and then i looked at the screen and the seekbar/time was working. i was like WTF? then after some testing i noticed that it always stopped when i pulled out the headphones - so i assume this pauses the song but the pause/play icon is not changed so it looks like the song is still going on :P
also when i press play with headphones out the icon change to II (so it looks like it is playing)- but apparently is not

so it was all just strange coincident and with phones plugged-in everything run just OK
thx for promt respond anyway
cheers

yep, its a feature, the player stops as the phones are unplugged but the UI does not see this and you can still press the play/pause button and it stiil appears like its doing something - glad its all ok

lol, i actually wrote to in my first response for you to check if your earphones were connected or not, but i thought it couldn't be that issue you were facing.

The S:Flo2 is designed to stop playing music when earphones are disconnected.
