A few months ago I discovered that gapless playback of Ogg/Vorbis files was not working flawlessly in piCorePlayer. The playback is gapless, but during the transition to the new track a small glitch is audible. I started a separate thread about it on this forum, but that remained silent unfortunately. In the meantime I have done a fair amount of extra testing and I hope this thread is a better place in search for a solution.
Test hardware: RPI2 + HifiBerry DAC. LMS: 8.2.0 I have tested the playback with several piCorePlayer versions and other software: - piCorePlayer 8.x, 7 and 6 all give audible glitches - piCoreplayer 5 plays flawlessly - Squeezelite-X gives audible glitches - HifiberryOS & Squeezelize version 20211105 plays flawlessly - Foobar2000 plays flawlessly Of course the source files were 100% fine, ripped securely and 100% gapless. I also transcoded the Ogg/Vorbis files back to Wav and Flac, and *all those transcoded files play flawlessly on all tested versions of piCorePlayer and Squeezelite-X! * Although the glitches during gapless playback of Ogg/Vorbis are small and often only audible when transitions are rather quiet, there should be none because Ogg/Vorbis supports gapless playback by design. It might be related to Squeezelite, but I am not sure because of the fact that HifiBerryOS & Squeezelite works fine. And I am also curious why piCoreplayer 5 works fine, something must have changed in later versions. What can be tested more to find the root cause of this issue? *Living Room:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Other rooms:* 6x SB Radio *LMS*: Version 8.2.0 on Xubuntu 21.10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114828 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
