My guess is that when running flac.exe directly against the file, it pukes when it hits that point. And so when transcoding, the stream to the player ends at that point, and it goes to the next track.
But when I'm streaming flac, the server side has no idea that there's anything wrong with the file. So it keeps sending data to the player past the point of this error. And I guess the player just plays what it is given. Careful listening to native decoding of this track on the SB2 now does reveal a small hiccup at the point of the error. I guess I just never noticed it before.
Anyway, I'll re-rip and encode the track. Mystery solved. Sorry to spam the list prematurely!

Hi everyone,
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.
Mitch
