DSD files unrecognized due to metadata - laurent69 - 14-12-2015 07:49
Hi, I have DSF files that have been tagged using MP3tag.
Sadly, when I rescan all files, I've got messages like
'Error: incorrect metadata offset 131806160 in DSF file Glenn Gould/Variations Goldberg [DSD]/01. Bach- Goldberg Variations - Aria0.dsf (length 131808657)'
And they are not shown in Minimserver.
The same files are correctly read and streamed using the standard synology server or Foobar.
Any idea to fix this ?
Thanks in advance
Laurent

I would need to see one of these files to find out what is causing the problem. You can send the file to me by uploading it to my FTP server. I will send you a PM with the server details. Many thanks!

Thanks for uploading the files.
The file format is corrupt. The audio data chunk length in the file is 12 bytes longer than the actual audio data and this extra length overlaps with the metadata area.
You might be able to fix the files by running them through a file converter such as dBpoweramp or XLD.
Perhaps the other servers are interpreting the first 12 bytes of metadata as if this were part of the audio data. MinimServer is quite strict (by design) about verifying the integrity of a file before attempting to read its contents.

Thanks Simon for the quickreply !
I'll try a DbPoweramp conversion....
Great that minimserver perform such strict controls !
Thanks Again
