Hi Peter - I hope you are well and that the New Year has started well for you Ciska & Paul.

Anyway onto my little problemette. Everything works fine and I am usually playing redbooks in unattended mode. So far so good. But if I play a 24-96 file in unattended then at some stage when the file is playing back it will suddenly stop and start playing another track and then it will play for a while then stop and move to another track. If I play the 24-96 file in attended mode no problem it plays fine.

My best wishes to you all

Paul

Hey Paul,

Hmm ... never heard of that, but I must admit that I never play such files myself (only for testing and then for a few seconds, and not Unattended either).

Are you sure this is repeatable ? I mean, it can happen that when you change the volume at an unlucky point (usually towards the end of a track) that this happens, but if I had to say it : for Redbook (just the same).

Also : Things are a bit difficult to test for me, because the quirck 176.4/192 x 4 had (per Praphans posts and help) which I solved. This is not the same problem, but I know the base of this problem related to what you say, *if* indeed inherently there as a problem.

So, completely repeatable ?
Maybe the 24/96 is in the middle of 16/44.1 tracks ?

Let me know,
Peter

Hello Peter,

Greetings from Bangkok! Chinese New Year is approaching in two days. Wishing you and your family a very healthy and prosperous year of the Golden Dragon.

Glad to hear that you solved the RR 176.4 problem already. Is this solely XXHE related ? If so then it is going to be taking effect in the next release.  :)

Best regards,
Praphan

Well, then a prosperous New Year for you Praphan. Two days early must be OK.

The problem is in the tracks (header) itself, but it is a very indirect one and the data concerned will normally not be used by other playback software I think. I use it as a solution to some WASAPI problem for supporting all the sample rates existing (like 768 etc. does officially not exist at all).
But I could work around it now.

Kind regards,
Peter

Hi Peter  -  I am currently listening to another 24-96 from the same source (iTrax download) and there are no problems listening in unattended. I will try another 24-96 at some stage but perhaps this is an isolated problem. It is typical of my luck that it is one of my favourites - I will try and re-download it to see if that cures the problem. It seems strange that it plays OK in attended.
Best Regards
Paul

Paul,

If you can clearly copy the behaviour, please send me (FileMail) the sequence of files so I can try to solve it. Okay ?

All the best,
Peter

Peter - well strange indeed. The problem is totally repeatable when I play the album from the existing directory. The first two tracks giving the problem. So I created a new test directory and copied the first two tracks into it. And yes you have guessed no problem they play without problems. So some more testing to be done. Next I will copy the whole contents of the existing directory into a new directory and see if the problem happens. But I cannot stand to listen to those tracks again tonight so maybe tomorrow.
Cheers Paul

Huh ?

But did you copy the complete contents of that directory ?

And what about what's above it (so, could the directory above it be involved) ?
Think about MultiVolume behaviour as well. Not that I see how this could influence it (but hey, this is how bugs exist eh ? :swoon:).

Peter
