i've been having this problem with apple lossless and aac files and am very keen to try and get on top of the problem. i'm using the latest 6.5.2 server build for windows, am streaming apple lossless as wav using alac and aac as wav using mov123.
i have one particular song i'm using as a test case - it's ideal for the purpose as it ends very suddenly, and my suspicion is that the cutoffs are possibly only a second or less in length, so wouldn't be noticed on a lot of tracks. the same track ripped to apple lossless or aac will miss the final chord or so on playback, but when ripped to mp3 will play in its entirety. suspecting the transcoding process i output the whole file to wav using alac at a command prompt - this produced the complete file with end intact, which would seem to exonerate the transcoding process of any blame. can anyone suggest any of the debug options which might be of use in diagnosing this problem? can the log file record whether slimserver actually played a track right through to its end? one further interesting point is that applying the 'Play only selected song' server setting seemed to have the effect of allowing the sample track to play through to the end some 2 times out of the 3 i tested it with that setting on. to my mind this suggests that there might be something buggy about the way in which slimserver handles transitions between tracks when those tracks are aac or apple lossless files - can anyone with more technical knowledge than me offer an opinion as to whether this sounds likely as an explanation of the problem? any input very gratefully received! -- bodajmac ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bodajmac's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9573 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32135 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
