And just to followup to myself... more testing reveals that some files are "different" than others. If I get the "--until value is before --skip point" error from FLAC (I'm not giving it an until or skip value... it seems to be "finding one" somewhere, or else is just very confused), then nothing I do will make it play with flac, although VLC and apparently mplayer deal with it no-problem.

Odd to me that "flac" can't play a flac file that everybody else can :-)

Hmmm... checked some of my "corrupt" files... the metaflac stuff shows proper data, no problem.

The files will play on vlc (a Mac/Linux multimedia player) and mplayer seems to "play" them (at least it doesn't error... I'm not set up to run it through speakers right now).

flac command line errors with FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_LOST_SYNC unless a "-F" is given to skip the errors... if you do that, it seems to play them fine.

I also tried upgrading from flac-1.1.0 to flac-1.1.1 and didn't see a difference.

On in the search.

Just to be clear... This is a fairly new occurrence... files I ripped a good while ago, all play fine.

For what it's worth, I just ripped a CD to FLAC to see what happened.

I got a folder full of tracks. I ran the following commands:
IFS="
"
for file in $(ls -1 *.flac); do flac -t "$file"; metaflac --export-vc-to=- "$file"; done


Everything seems OK (see output below).

One thing worth noting is that I recently linked mythmusic against libflac.so.6 as opposed to libflac.so.4 which I had used previously. (I use Mandrake 10.1. I had to manually tweak some lines in mythmusic to do with #define HAVE_INTTYPES_H but I don't think this is the "right" way to do this, probably some Makefile magic is better).

Anyways, everything seems cool. Played the files in mplayer too just to make sure, no problem at all (although it didn't print out the metadata - although I'm not sure if it should!!! Was using ffflac decoder).

When I tried to fast forward in the tracks mplayer displays:
[flac @ 0x8516f50]FRAME HEADER not here

and once or twice I got:
[flac @ 0x8516f50]unsupported channel assignment 15 (channels=2)
[flac @ 0x8516f50]decode_frame() failed

Not sure if that is a problem with the way the FLACs are written or if it's just general behaviour with FLAC decoding??

Oh, my version of mythmusic has my multiartist patch (hense the extra metadata displayed), but this *shouldn't* affect the way the FLACs are written.

Hope this helps in some way.

Col.
