this is going to be a LONG one... after some LENGTHY experimentation i have found more details.
preparation: - upgraded to SC 7.3.3. the rest, such as perl etc. remains the same. - wired up my two SB3s to eliminate the WLAN as a problem - fixed up some files encoded with different vorbis encoders: GTune3b2 (my preference), aoTuV and xiph reference. results: to make sync break BOTH the following conditions must be met: A. i am using the _remote_ to skip tracks, scan tracks or load playlists B. i am playing or trying to play a _vorbis_ file, or the first file of a playlist is a vorbis file. under these circumstances it seems i can not break sync: A. using an MP3 and/or FLAC only playlist - even with the remote B. exclusively using the web UI to control the sync group ie. skipping and scanning tracks and loading playlists - even with vorbis tracks in them the vorbis encoder used does not seem to have any effect on this. i can actually make sync come back if i fiddle around enough by: A. skipping a couple of tracks _not_ through the remote, but through the web UI B. pointing the remote at the _other_ (!) SB3 and restarting and/or skipping to the next track C. manually starting an MP3 track or loading an MP3 only playlist i have set the player.sync log to debug. if someone can tell me where to find the log and what to do with it i'd be grateful! here's my problem: about 60% of our music collection is vorbis and especially when we have guests roaming the house we sync our SBs. but as soon as we change playlists, skip a track or even change the volume, sync seems to freak out. these findings are more or less in line with our past experiences, which were that if we sync up with a nice long playlist it would sometimes work, sometimes not. the more we left the SBs alone, the longer they would stay synced. so how do i get vorbis to work properly when synced? -- dcote ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dcote's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65870 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
