Error: unexpected end of file at offset....
Hi all, Newbie here. I thought this might relate to tagging, if not please move it appropriately.
Despite all the misguided comments in other places that Minimserver is hard to set up, I followed Simon's guides and had it working & running in an hour. Great stuff. Minimserver is running on a QNAP TS-412 and will be connecting to a coming Lumin, replacing a Mac. In the meantime, it's a library in JRiver. I have some expected tagging issues but those I can sort, I hope, but the main issue I need help on is 3500 missing files. Several thousand of these appear as 'Error: unexpected end of file at offset XXXXXXX' in the Minimwatch log. Most are .flac, some are .aiff. I can solve the problem of missing .aiff by converting them to .flac but it will take weeks. A search didn't throw anything up. Grateful for any help on this. |

Please see this post (and other discussion on the same thread) for the likely cause of the problem and a solution. The "unexpected end of file" problem with missing files isn't related to tagging, so I am moving this thread to the Support section. Can you post a few (about 10) of these messages for .flac files and a few (about 10) of these messages for .aiff files? |

RE: Error: unexpected end of file at offset....
Thanks for the quick response, Simon. It wasn't the answer I wanted because the conversion will take a very long time. I thought that JRiver, which I've been on since MC17 in Win & Mac was my salvation after iTunes & PureMusic. How wrong could I have been? Grrr. Here's 10 random selections of .aiff from different albums.

Can anyone tell me, is it quicker to convert .aiff to .aiff than .aiff to flac? I tried a couple of albums to .flac and it was slow on dBpoweramp on Win8 but I was doing over the network on the NAS. Having been burned with this Jriver/.aiff, I feel like standardising on .flac. I guess it's quicker if the file is local (on a HDD). The quickest converter is? I have both Win & Mac decent spec machines. Thanks Martin |

Here's 10 random selections of .aiff from different albums. From these messages, it looks like the problem is caused by the JRiver .aiff bug. I can't say which converter is the quickest but I know dBpoweramp is quick. |

RE: Error: unexpected end of file at offset....
I use XLD (free) on my Mac and it is pretty fast. I have the settings to automatically put replace the files in the same folder so that helps a bit. Sometimes they are .aif not .aiff (one, not two "f"s) so I have to manually delete the original files. I have no idea about the speed of the two formats...I only used .aiff

This is is a first-rate forum. I'll first make a new JRiver trial playlist filtered for 50 .aif & .aiff, then make a comparison. Picked up the Lumin yesterday, so the pressure's on. Martin |
