I was curious if anyone had ever seen a problem like this before.
I own both a SB and SB2, both wired. Most of my music is in FLAC format ,although I do have a small set of MP3 files in my library as well. On my SB FLAC files are transcoded to WAV (since it's wired, I have no bitrate limiting) and on my SB2 they are played natively. My server is installed on a Windows XP box. I am running one of the 6.2.2 nightlies (4-5 days old, I think).
Anyway, last night I was listening to a FLAC file on my SB and about halfway through the music abruptly stopped and it begin playing the next song in the playlist. I hit the "back" button on the remote to play the problem song again, and again it skipped to the next song at the very same moment as before.
Curious, I listed to the same track on the SB2, and it played fine to completion.
The most significant difference between the SB and SB2 in this case as the transcoding, so I changed the server setting to force all FLAC files to be transcoded to WAV (instead of using the native FLAC playback on the SB2). Once I did this, the problem reproduced on the SB2 as well.
Next I checked the level of FLAC I had installed on my server. Turns out it was 1.1.1. I saw that 1.1.2a was available for download. I installed that, but the problem still happens.
The next step I'm going to try is to see if I can reproduce this using Winamp or some other media player.
Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions for debug here? I'd assume it's a bad FLAC file except that the SB2 has no problem with it when decoding natively -- and I have no idea how my FLAC file would have become corrupted, assuming it wasn't somehow misencoded initially.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
