Wav stops playing

[PeterSt]

Maybe connected to before..?
When playing mp3's and wavs in one folder after a while I get 'format change not allowed' and 'engine 3 did not start in time'. The change was from mp3 to wav, but this change happened a couple of times before and then it gave no problem... When I stop and start with the next ( = changed) song it sounds distorted, so I stop and start again and then it is in double speed..

Hmm ... interesting.

a. Change from file type is just allowed;
b. Change from samplerate/bitdepth is not.

Are you 100% sure that

1. the files have the same samplerate ?
2. your DAC isn't set to a fixed rate, while it atually needs to change ?

Lastly, if above 1 = Yes,  what is the samplerate and bitdepth for these tracks ?
And, this was Attended I assume ?


Oh, note that there is really no difference between just starting a track, and pressing Next. That is, with Engine#3.

Found something related : Do not switch on logging for 0.9v-6 !

[GerardA]

I think it was a change in bitrate of mp3's but have to check more later.

[PeterSt]

After a view tracks again the music stops (not at the end)

Hi Johan,

You can try again with 0.9v-6a.
You can send me the logfiles when it still happens. Don't forget to switch logging on (after the install) !
Please put a description in the email about what you encountered, and accurately mention the track numbers as how they show in the log file, so I can look where what happened.

Hi Peter,

Things are working perfectly here now for 3 days or so in attended mode  Thanks again for getting this straightened out.

Hi Mike, great it is working for you too now. And ehh, thanks for motivating !

Today i had two stops in unattended mode. I have the impression that you don't get the stops in attended mode. Peter i will send you tomorrow the log files

Same here.  A couple stops in 6 & 6a.  6a stop just happened now at the beginning of second song (Radiohead - InRainbows cd version singlewav/cue).  Unattended
Played the wav/cue again and it stopped exactly in the same place... two beats into the second song.  Pressed play on second song... it's playing now.

Hi Peter,

Peter i will send you tomorrow the log files

I have send you today a pm.

.....at the beginning of second song

The same experience here.

Johan,

I'll bet at least something that withgoing 0.9-6b solves your problem. Why ? because this is officially known as the JohanZ problem and again I had to solve it. Somehow you don't have the rights to IMPLICITLY overwrite files. Explicitly yes, but implicitly no. It would be very nice for me and all others you may address this to without knowing, and in the end for yourself of course, if you could solve this.

I never heard of the thing, but it comes down to this :

Certain commands that create a file have the option to append to it, instead of deleting it first automatically and then create the file and add the data. What is used here is the latter, hence the file should be newly created or at least the contents must be new.
Note (hence disclaimer, whatever) : I don't know whether in such a case physically it may be so that the file keeps on existsing at the place it was before and that somehow its contents can be made empty before the new data goes to it. It certainly looks like this, because this is the explanation on it :

"To truncate a file or create it if it does not exist, use Create".
(truncate means cutoff, afkappen )

It is this "truncate" which doesn't work for you.
Again, I wouldn't know of a "rights" setting that disallows it, but maybe you could look for it, or just allow yourself for everything at least in your XX folders (that's where this happens). Now Johan : actually it is not about this (hence XX) because I solved it. But what about the rest of your PC ??

In this particular case the writing of these files was changed due to the main subject of this topic (Wav stops playing), and I made the mistake of not paying attention to your problem. So you really don't need to do anything for getting XX back to work again. But again : what about the rest of your PC ?

The huge disclaimer is of course : ... all counts only when the below zip helps (only XXHighEnd.exe is in there).

For SeVeReD / Dave : If it helps you too, you can join Johan.
Anyway, let me know what came from it !

I'll try v6b tonight.   But really I'd like to "fix" my computer so that I have all rights to do whatever.  When I tried to shut off indexing on my new computer, I ran into a problem when trying to follow this http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=548.msg3934#msg3934 on my main C:/ drive.  All my external HDDs I was able to shut off indexing, but with my C:/ drive, it told me certain files were protected and I'm betting I was not able to completely shut off indexing on my C:/ drive,,, do you think this might be related?

[PeterSt]

I don't know. What I do know, is that when you don't have just all the rights there are, you will run in some problem somewhere (mostly noticeable when doing things over shares / the network.

In the mean time, for Johan at least, I found that the rights for Create folders/Append (see arrow in the picture below) are the most logical rights to prevent you from appending to a file. Not that it makes sense, because the log file acts the same after it has been created explicitly, as was the old way of writing to data files Johan couldn't cope with from the start.
Anyway, I'd suggest to give yourself all the rights there are, which are summed up on the page that shows below (including the second screen copy). Note that this place just shows the "effective rights", and they are to be applied at the higher level form you see below (the "Bewerken" button). Some will inherit though ... from somewhere.

You mean to put tics in all those boxes ... right?  Why don't your boxes have tics on them?  Ack wait, they don't take tics... I guess this means I've already had those attributes going for me...

Hi Peter,
I sent you an email with log files attachd.  Thought I'd post the contents of email here in case others could relate.

Hi Peter,
Here are logs.  Unfortunately, I now have not been able to reproduce XXHE stopping after the first track! ?  That's both using 6a and the executable you gave out 6b.  I was able to get it to stop 3 times in a row on Radiohead as mentioned, then I ticked Log Activities and played Radiohead,,, and it didn't stop (using 6a)... i hate computers.

Here is what it did do and has done in the past that I'm betting is related though.  I tried to describe this to you a while back but I don't think it made sense to you... I'll try again.

(using 6b sent log files)
* Radiohead - InRainbows
Plays first song fine
Begins 2nd song ... plays ~2 beats in and stops/pauses?
Imediately begins song 2 again and plays fine the rest of the album.

It did this during the log files I'm sending you.  It also did this same phenomenon this morning with another album
Kronos Quartet - In Formation

With Rock, it could almost be considered part of the song, the way it stops and then starts, but if you highlight and start the second song first, you notice that the "false" start is not there.  Hope you can find something in the logs.

NEW edit
Well, I just tried to play the Kronos Quartet - In Formation this morning again to see if I could get it to "hiccup" for the log files like it did earlier ... it didn't stop/start on the second song like it had :/ oh wellz
