Yep - my 44.1khz flac files definitely play back gapless
Using firmware 35 currently and I'm certain it worked ok before I
upgraded too.

 I did several experiments yesterday and confirmed that
 wav file playing in SB2 is smooth and gapless ,while flac file playing
 in SB2 has gaps between tracks no matter in 44.1khz or 48khz the files
 are.

 16bit/48khz wav or flac files don't play well still with the

 16bit/48khz wav  files play slowly ;
 16bit/48khz flac files play with gaps at the start of almost 
 all tracks;
 
 I have same experiences with chrisal.

Just to confirm - i tried with firmware 35 with both wav and flac and
the gap is still there with 48khz.
I can send a couple of example files - how do i submit? - using
attachments on the bug?

 I see that this message is getting on for two years old.  The bug in

 still slated to be fixed?

Oops - I didn't check the date on that message - also it looks like bug
#128 applies to the original squeezebox so I guess the 2 problems are
not related. I wonder if there is a status update on both.

smts - have you experienced the lack of gapless on your 48khz dvd rips
too? I'm trying to find out if it's just me but I got no responses from
a previous thread either

 I haven't tried it actually -- the only DVD rips I have as FLAC are
 discrete songs anyway.  I'll try it out with concert footage if I can
 find the time; you're just grabbing the stereo, not the 5.1 mix, right?

Well I've actually tried ripping a 5.1 mix to seperate ac3 files then
converting it to wav using your your utility (thanks btw) then encoding
the files to flac and tagging them. The resulting files are 16bit 48khz
flac files which playback fine in full surround sound except for the
small but noticable gap between tracks that should be seamless.
At first i though this was a problem because of the DD encoding but by
coincidence i've got some other 48khz 16 bit files from a live
recording that hasn't been anywhere near 5.1 dolby digital and they
playback fine except for the gap which is exactly the same sort of gap
as i get with the 5.1 files.
So I concluded that the problem is with 48khz files rather than  the DD
5.1 encoding. It's bug #2990 if you want to vote for it ;-)

let us know how you get on either with stereo or 5.1 48Khz rips. It
would be very nice to have this fixed as a lot of DVD based music is of
live recordings that benifit from gapless playback It's as near as
damnit already but this would pretty much make the SB2 perfect in my
book!

[slim] 48Khz flac files not playing back gapless

2006-02-13 Thread chrisal

Hi,

I've created a new bug for 48Khz flac files not playing back gapless
and I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. I
first noticed after ripping some Dolby digital 5.1 off a dvd as per this
thread:-

http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19260

But I've also got a vanilla 2 channel stereo live recording that
exhibits the same problem. I can't playback the DD5.1 files on the pc
but the stereo recording definitely plays back gapless in winamp.

Cheers

Chris

[slim] Re: Surround WAV's

2005-09-08 Thread chrisal

Right Then - I had to go round the houses but I've now got my Dolby
Digital 5.1 copy of With Teeth by the Nine Inch Nails playing in
surround sound on the squeezebox2.

Here's how:- I used this tool to extract the 6 seperate wav files
directly off the DVD AC3 stream:

http://www.download.com/3001-2140_4-10425021.html?idl=n

Then I used surcode DTS-CD to create a DTS encoded wav file from the
six seperate wav files.

Then you can simply play this using the squeezebox 2 and provided the
optical output is connected to a DTS receiver/amp then hey presto -
surround sound playback! Awesome!

I know this has been covered in a few threads before but I've not seen
it explained step by step in the forums. Does anyone know if it is
possible to make and plaback a native Dolby Digital 5.1 wav file in
this way or is this the only method of surround sound playback on the
SB2?

Even if this is the only way I'm still chuffed that I can rip those 5.1
albums in this way...

The next step is to make a cue sheet for the wav file so I can display
the track names etc

 Yes - gapless playback of FLAC files on SB2 is a working and tested 
 feature. I suspect that the problem radish is hitting is related to 
 another bug that he's also seeing 
 http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1289. Still working on that
 one.

BTW I just got and SB2 yesterday and I can confirm that flac works
gaplessly for me. Can I also add that this thing is just awesome!

[slim] Re: SB2 - It Does The Business!

2005-04-14 Thread chrisal

Hello,

The SB2 looks great and with the positive feedback it looks like it's
finally time to replace the old Rio Receiver. One question though -
does native flac playback fully gapless on the SB2 for dance mixes,
live stuff etc.
