Re: [slim] SB3 running out of CPU cycles on HQ vorbis?

thanx for your thoughts on this guys. :-) yeah - i'll just re-rip the offending track in FLAC. and i agree with jeebers - this is the first of my thousands of tracks encoded with GTuneb3 which exhibits this phenomenon. never seen it before. i suspect it has to do with extreme and sudden

hi all! i love my SB3. matter of fact, i just got my 2nd one. ;-) BUT i just discovered something rather unsettling and i would like to see if anyone out there has noticed a similar effect. i generally encode my CDs using SJeng's OggEncGTb3 tuned ogg-vorbis encoder set to q6. i find this gives

would say it is entirely possible that the SB3 chokes on some high quality encodes. And from your description of turning off anf on the visualisations, i think thats whats happening. dcote;228434 Wrote: i generally encode my CDs using SJeng's OggEncGTb3 tuned ogg-vorbis encoder set to q6. i

Try the official encoder, we tested some tracks at q10 with the official encoder and they playback fine. q6 shouldn't produce files with such a large bitrate. But yes, Ogg decoding is a cpu-intensive process so what you describe is definitely a cpu problem. I'm sure there is room for

hi funktstar, actually i have. when i ripped the file, i did not realize how complex it was and that vorbis bitrates would soar like that. i normally avoid FLAC, because it is too big for me and i find vorbis @q6 to be indistinguishable from FLAC. so far, i see many workarounds, none which are

FWIW I have several thousand tracks encoded at Q8 using the standard encoder, and have never encountered a problem like this. :-) -- jeebers jeebers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10290 View
