If my memory is good, when I found the bug, I asked why is it that it is not the file up to 4G which is played, but the remaining residue minutes; and I remember you answering "this is a bug with ffmpeg, I will post on their forum".

But again, maybe my memory has reached it's 4G limit...

Well my memory has not yet reached the limit

Quote:I have done some more investigation of this issue. Because you are upsampling to 192 kHz, MinimStreamer uses FFmpeg to transcode FLAC to WAV and it is FFmpeg that is incorrectly setting the modulo length in the WAV header.

And in the same thread

Quote:There is a mechanism for submitting an FFmpeg bug report, described on this page. I think it would be better for me to submit the report as I can provide exact technical details of the issue. I will try to get to this soon.

But I agree, the first culprit is the 4G size limit

The residue issue (incorrect truncation) is a bug with FFmpeg but the size limitation (unable to play the full file) is caused by the WAV specification.
