Ok. Ignore all that. After another reboot and lots more playing of various combinations of m4a and flac and stopping and turning off during playback, etc. I can't get it to repeat that behaviour at all, so all is good. Consider the newer faad build worth including with LMS for sure. rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111719 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Problem getting m4a to play (trancoded?) on Transporter
NEW INFORMATION ALERT!!! Playing around switching between the old and new build again... and now it works!!! Does the system somehow cache the faad binary??? Because all I did was reboot the Pi between the last attempt and this one (to kill that 100% cpu gobbling faad process). Anyway, the headline is THE NEW BUILD FIXES WHATEVER THE PLAYBACK ISSUE WITH THOSE ROGUE ITUNES TRACKS. I wonder why the faad process(es) never terminate(s). And why are there two faad processes running? This is minutes after stopping all players, putting them all into standby, and clearing all playlists (playback queues)... 29563 I appreciate this is a different issue. but now I not it's there (gobbling up my Pi's CPU resources for no apparent reason) it would be nice if there was a fix for that too. +---+ |Filename: 2020-02-26 (5).png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29563| +---+ rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111719 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I can't give the commands as such, since Mp3tag uses a GUI. I've looked at a few more m4a files I have that include embedded art, and they ALL have that second "video" stream to store the artwork. I think it's the standard iTunes way of doing it. They all play nice with faad. Probably because (as you mentioned before) the audio is the first stream. rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111719 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I sent you a private message with a link to the fixed file after the art
was re-inserted. That's the file that plays, but shows in ffmpeg that it
has the second (mjpeg) stream. I re-inserted using Mp3tag ('Mp3tag

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Problem getting m4a to play (trancoded?) on Transporter
Ok, I've run the file through ffmpeg (a newer version on my Windows machine) with the stream copy options as you suggested, and sure enough that file plays fine. However, I'm confused as to why what is essentially just the embedded cover art is causing the problem. Lots of the other m4a files I have include embedded cover art and they still play fine. What I then tried is extracting the cover art from the original "bad" file (I use Mp3tag) as a jpeg, then adding it back to the new "good" file as the front cover image again with Mp3tag. Looking at that file then with ffmpeg I can see that once again I have the second stream (#0:1) as an mjpeg, but now, the file plays fine too! The filesize is ever so slightly smaller than the original now: 1,990,794 bytes vs 1,991,289 bytes (so just 505 bytes smaller). I'm now going to try to use ffmpeg again to copy BOTH streams (if I can work out the command syntax) to see if that will strip out whatever those mystery 505 bytes are that is causing the tracks not to play nice with faad. rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111719 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Problem getting m4a to play (trancoded?) on Transporter
I'm happy to DM you a link to one of the curious tracks if you're interested, but I think the sensible thing for me to do in the circumstances is just re-encode that one album and see if it fixes it, because clearly there's nothing wrong with my transcoding settings if they work for every other m4a I have. rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111719 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Problem getting m4a to play (trancoded?) on Transporter
Could anyone help me resolve why I can't get m4a files playing on my Transporter? They play fine on my Touch, but I understand this is because the Touch supports aac natively, and the Transporter doesn't. My conversion settings seem to me to be set up ok, to use faad, but it's not working. I'm running LMS 7.9.2 - 1578996832 on an old RPi Squeezeplug setup (Raspbian Wheezy). Here's the log extract with player.source logging set to debug, when I try to play an m4a track: https://pastebin.com/Dr8hUwUv rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111719 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

It would be nice to understand the mechanism that's causing these tracks to get ignored on a "new and changed" scan though. rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] "Look for new and changed media fies" refuses to find tracks that were once missing
After a power cut, my LMS (running on a Pi) booted before my NAS (where my media library resides) and thus the media share was not mounted. Attempting to play an album, quickly failed to find the first five tracks (before I stopped it and realised the problem) and as a result those tracks got automatically removed from the library. My problem now is, after remounting the media share, and performing a database scan, those files never get restore to the database. I've tried changing the files timestamps (so they appear to be "changed media files") and re-scanning, but they don't restore. I've then tried deleting the album folder in question, then re-scanning (the album goes away) and then copying the folder back again and then re-scanning, and STILL those first 5 tracks won't restore to the database. Where are these 5 tracks marked as "PERMANENTLY BROKEN AND DON'T EVER TRY TO SCAN THESE AGAIN!!!" and how to I fix this? rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Media scan terminates unexpectedly
Could you share the solution with the rest of us? I'm also getting the same failed media scan after updating 'Music and Artist Information' to v1.6.7 today.
