So Audacity was experiencing a similar to what LMS appears to be showing here. Although was it only certain 24bit ALAC files or all? I haven't yet had a chance to do further testing, but my ffmpeg version is "2.8.14-0ubuntu0.16.04.1" which may not be the very latest but is the most up to date for my OS. From what I can work out it has bug fixes up to April this year. I will try to download and compile the very latest version, but that will have to wait until I have a bit of time. Until I get around to doing further testing, does anyone know exactly where these file properties are read from? The reason I ask, is that although these files are encoded with ffmpeg, they have been tagged with atomicparsley. If the properties are read from the tag, then atomicparsley is potentially an issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pssturges's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66790 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102059 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
