[SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite-x silence in playback from mid-track onwards
I'm running Squeezelite-x on Windows 10. LMS server v8.1.1 on Linux. I have Squeezelite-x playing a Random song mix. Every few songs I find that the audio disappears mid-track. The track continues playing but the remainder of the track is silent. If I skip to the next track it starts playing back normally. Has anyone else noticed this behaviour? itm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17437 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114022 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I am running squeezelite-x v2.7.16 on win10 - I use it to control other players, but turned on the player functionality to test your scenario. My LMS v8.1.1 is on Ubuntu 20.04.2. All working fine so far on random song mix a few songs in - will let it play and report back if I see what you are seeing. Might check your LMS logs for anything interesting. Also F12 in slx has some logging too, and you can add logging to squeezelite within slx with advanced options (-f Write debug to logfile) TomS SB3(1), Boom(2), Radio(3), piCorePlayer (1) TomS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12525 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114022 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

There's nothing in the server log at that time, and nothing unusual in the F12 log from Squeezebox-Lite-X. itm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17437 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114022 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

It picks up where it left off though. On my LMS, I have AAC streamed directly to the player, or so I think from the file types menu (Native). 33533 With this setting I see a pause at 5 min. If I changed that "native" to "disabled" I assume LMS does some transcoding and I *do not* see the pause at 5 min. Most of my library is flac so I was lucky to catch it with this m4a. I will try a few more m4a (AAC) files to confirm.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite-x silence in playback from mid-track onwards
Thanks for that. My files are mp3, which is also set to "Native" in the File Types menu. I'll try setting it to "Disabled" to see if it improves things. itm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17437 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114022 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

just to be more complete in case it is helpful, adding -f to squeezelite parameters produced an empty log file, but these lines below are from the sqlx (f12) log window. Again, this is with Native for AAC. Music started at 14:55:01, and at 15:00:01 it stopped for approx 30 sec, resuming at 15:00:34. My rPi 4 with piCorePlayer (incl squeezelite) does not pause.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite-x silence in playback from mid-track onwards
the transcoding is a red herring - thanks to bpa for the link to the previous thread on this - for me upping the buffer size in the squeezelite parameters in sqlx fixed it for my 6 minute songs. I added the option "-b 16384" to increase it. If you had a super long track, I don't know how it would behave. (btw running squeezelite 1.9.8-1344 (x64) inside of sqlx, which I think is later than his experimental versions).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite-x silence in playback from mid-track onwards
sorry for all the posts.the transcoding/file types seems to be a red herring (sorry) - that second m4a (aac), regardless of AAC being set to native or disabled, definitely pauses at 5:25 on the Squeezelite-X player, but does not pause on my piCorePlayer Squeezelite.

I've been trying to add the "-b 16384" parameter by running Squeezelite-X from the command line in Windows 10, but I get an "Access is denied" error whenever I try to run it - even if I open the command window as Administrator.

Add that option in the squeezelite player options inside of sqlx. The little "..." button next to player name in the settings page, shown in the pic below.
