It will produce a report at the end identifying any warnings or errors. Another approach that I've used is foobar2000 with the "file integrity verifier" component added. Again, select all the files in a giant batch, right click, select 'utilities' and then select "verify integrity' and it will check all the files.

Re: [slim] Check vailidity of music library?
OK - the squeezelite on the piCorePlayer does not require transcoding anymore as I installed the one which is compiled with the -DFFMPEG option. I also recompiled squeezelite with apple lossless support and no transcoding anymore. rkrug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62249 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104776 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

@pippin Server Version: Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.5 - 1416570306 @ Thu Nov 27 08:25:11 UTC 2014 Should I upgrade to a newer version? I am running Debian by the way. Yes - it does transcode for the squeezelite player, but not the iPeng. But actually, this morning it is working. I assume it has to do with the transcoding. SO let's look there: The settings are 19414 A typical output from "top" when playing a apple lossless to a squeezelite player is: Code: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEMTIME+ COMMAND 6967 squeezeb 20 0 3096 772 560 S 9.2 0.3 0:13.03 faad 6968 squeezeb 20 0 5884 1496 1172 S 2.6 0.6 0:04.01 sox 73 root 20 0 000 S 1.0 0.0 18:00.46 kworker/u:1 1905 squeezeb 20 0 103m 84m 4308 S 0.7 33.7 15:32.58 squeezeboxserve ... So it is transcoding - no sox and faad when playing the same to iPeng. @mherger No - here is one with the specs: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray It should be powerful enough. +---+ |Filename: Screenshot 2015-12-09 09.20.25.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=19414| +---+ rkrug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62249 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104776 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Check vailidity of music library?
As an aside, it was always unfortunate that Apple decided not to include a built-in CRC in the Apple Lossless format. If the situation was reversed and the OP was trying to determine if any FLAC files were corrupted, he could easily run any number of BATCH programs to test the FLAC files (which *do* contain a built-in CRC).

Re: [slim] Check vailidity of music library?
I would use foobar2000's bit compare tool to check if the FLAC and corresponding ALAC decode to exactly the same thing (bit-for-bit identical PCM stream). poing's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63617 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104776 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Check vailidity of music library?
Which server version is this? Also, please check your file conversion settings to make sure ALAC can be played natively. If that's sure then if iPeng can't play the file I'd say it's corrupt. iPeng plays ALAC natively and uses Apple's codec, I'd say that's a reference. That said... A very common issue with ALAC and AAC files using an MP4 container is that some metadata is written at the end of the file without a correct index header at the front of the file. These files can be played locally but cannot streamed so won't work in a Squeezebox environment --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104776 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Check vailidity of music library?
Hi, since i have a huge experience with valid/unvalid files i can tell you (no i am not audiophoolish) there is no real way to check that other than your ears. What you can do is: - open vlc - press [strg] [m] - set verbosity to warning - add a (smal) folder to the playlist - play them - take a look in the warnings/messages * but* I have files with errors that play perfect and files with no "errors" that arent good. eg a really good example (the hardest track to rip ever i found) is Depeche Mode A Question of Time [CDBONG 12] from 1991 Track 1 - A Question of Time (Remix) @ 1:10 till 1:21. (ok these errors are in the CD and some rippers do add more skips to it that the original has already) Gruss Jan DJanGo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1516 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104776 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Check vailidity of music library?
I transcoded my library from flac to apple lossless using xld (integration iTunes, managing tags with iTunes), but now I have issues with quite a few tracks not playing correctly. I do not know if it is because of my lms server (pogoplug E02), pleyer (piCorePlayer, squeezelite on OSX, iPeng on iPhone) or if some files were corrupted during the transcoding. Pogoplug? Isn't this one of those early mini-computers built in to a power plug? Most likely it's not up to the task of transcoding the files on the fly. Try playing those files with a more powerful LMS machine. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
