Re: [slim] M4A vs. Mp3 issue, Part II
Problem seems to be solved. I use iTunes extensively, and recently iTunes added a box to check for gapless playback. I listen to a lot of live shows and electronic music, and I converted many to gapless playback, although I was for all intents and purposes getting gapless playback without that setting. It appears that - only for m4a songs, not mp3 songs - slim server treated an album of gapless songs as one long track. Once I took off the gapless playback, I'm able to now play any track on an album. -- Matt Shelton Matt Shelton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4983 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35159 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] M4A vs. Mp3 issue, Part II
The missing pipeline is a symptom that the file has been skipped rather than a cause. I looked at this a bit but I can't see why the files are being played. Have you tried deleting the database and rebuilding it ? I'm still working on socketwrapper and while testing it, I managed to get an Ogg file marked in such a way that slimserver just wouldn't play it and each time it skipped it. Rather than figure out what was wrong - I deleted the database and now it plays OK - no changed to the contents of the file. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35159 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] M4A vs. Mp3 issue, Part II
Help! Could this be a pipeline reader issue?(I don't know what the pipeline reader is). From reading the debug log, I'm noticing that after accessing socketwrapper, the pipeline reader fails to open, so slimserver resets the song queue from song #5 in the album to song #1 and plays song #1 successfully (after opening the pipeline reader). Here is the applicable part of the log for each, starting from the same line: Trying to play fifth song in album: 2007-05-13 08:23:19.4366 openSong: Streaming with format: flc 2007-05-13 08:23:19.4818 00:04:20:06:59:8a New play mode: play 2007-05-13 08:23:19.4945 00:04:20:06:59:8a: Current playmode: play I SHOULD SEE Pipline Reader Connected RIGHT HERE 2007-05-13 08:23:19.4953 00:04:20:06:59:8a: Switching to mode stop from play 2007-05-13 08:23:19.4956 00:04:20:06:59:8a New play mode: stop 2007-05-13 08:23:19.4957 Stopping and clearing out old chunks for client 00:04:20:06:59:8a 2007-05-13 08:23:19.4977 Resetting song queue 2007-05-13 08:23:19.4978 Song queue is now 4 2007-05-13 08:23:19.4983 00:04:20:06:59:8a: Current playmode: stop 2007-05-13 08:23:19.4984 jumping to 0 2007-05-13 08:23:19.4985 Adding song index 0 to song queue 2007-05-13 08:23:19.4985 Clearing out song queue first 2007-05-13 08:23:19.4986 Song queue is now 0 2007-05-13 08:23:19.4988 00:04:20:06:59:8a: Switching to mode play from stop Plays first song instead: 2007-05-13 08:23:19.5275 openSong: Streaming with format: flc 2007-05-13 08:23:19.5614 00:04:20:06:59:8a New play mode: play 2007-05-13 08:23:19.5744 00:04:20:06:59:8a: Current playmode: play 2007-05-13 08:23:19.5761 Pipeline reader connected 2007-05-13 08:23:19.8500 processing headers for direct streaming: HTTP/1.0 200 OK Server: SlimServer (6.5.2 - 11801) Connection: close Content-Type: audio/mpeg 2007-05-13 08:23:20.4346 Got a track starting event 2007-05-13 08:23:20.4347 Song 0 has now started playing 2007-05-13 08:23:20.4351 Song queue is now 0 -- Matt Shelton Matt Shelton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4983 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35159 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Thanks guys. I'm using a SB3.

Re: [slim] M4A vs. Mp3 issue, Part II
What are you using to play the file ? If you are using an SB3 then d_directstream with d_source will provide some more info. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35159 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
