Song fails to play
Hi - I am using minimstreamer to transcode flac files to L16 as my client, an Oppo universal disc player, can't handle flacs.
In most cases this is working file, but I have a few files that won't play. I have tried copying the file, renaming, re-encoding with ffmpeg and sox, and changing some tag values, but no dice. Some files in the same directory play fine, some don't. Can anyone shed some light on what is going on? Log snippet below... this repeats several times before going to the next song. Code: 08:21:44.710 Thread-1213: ContentDirectory action: Browse 0$albums$*a19$*i265 |

Don't have an Oppo device, but one thing to check would be the album art tag or equivalent. My Pioneer N-50 streamer fails to play audio files with images that are too big for it to cope with.

There is a cover image in the directory, but is is only 100K. I removed it and that had no impact. Code: metaflac --l ./01\ -\ Every\ Time\ I\ Hear\ That\ Song.flac |

RE: Song fails to play
What machine are you using to run MinimServer/MinimStreamer?

Please upload one of these files (small if possible) to my FTP server. I will send you a PM with the server details. |

I just converted the file from flac to wav and back to flac using ffmpeg and I'm still seeing the same behavior. Very puzzling... I'll be interested to hear what you are able to find out. |

RE: Song fails to play
Thanks for this. I have tried it with my renderer (a Melco N1) and the transcoded L16 stream is playing OK. It seems there is something in this file that is causing a problem for the OPPO renderer. This is consistent with the log output that you posted, which shows MinimServer starting to write the L16 data and the renderer closing the connection shortly afterwards.
