did you tried with another versions of flac ? I think this is related to flac not to xmms directly. check out this http://bugs.xmms.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2260 (In reply to comment #4) > did you tried with another versions of flac ? I think this is related to flac > not to xmms directly. I have the latest flac, and there seem to be none in ~x86 at the time. According to the flac website, I have the latest version. Did you suggest I downgrade? I agree. It has to be related to the plugin, not xmms. It must be something to do with the encoding method or something in it. > > check out this http://bugs.xmms.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2260 Yes, I saw that, but this is not a crasher. XMMS just continues on its way, but does not play the cut. I'll see if there is a flac bugzilla. I'll refer it to here. Just thought you should know in case something else similar pops up in the future. This might be related to bug #104518 with xine-lib ... can you try if that is able to play them or have the same behavior of xmms, so to rule out if it's an xmms problem?

Here is why xmms is not playing the flac file in question. It _thinks_ it's an
MP3 file based on the tag info. Looking at the INFO screen, you can see that
the top flac file (the problem one) shows tag data and stream info as if it's
an mpeg. xmms therefore must be loading the wrong driver trying to play it.
OTOH, the bottom panel shows the proper flac info, but no tag info -- must not
have been added. However, I have numerous other flac files WITH tag info that
play fine in xmms. The only difference between these two files is the library
used to encode them. One used 1.1.2 (that does not play on xmms), and the one
that does was 1.1.0. I wonder if that might be part of the problem. I will post
this on the xmms bug site and see. The fact that xmms is unable to properly
identify a flac file as one SEEMS to indicate that the problem is there.
running flac -d filename, then flac -e8 filename and re-adding meta info with metaflac allows the file to run properly in xmms. There must have been something strange about the original encodings. Am reporting this to the flac bugzilla for further review. This is a lousy workaround, but one that should be noted in case others cannot play flac files. It's interesting that other media players seem to read the filename and use the appropriate driver. XMMS seems to be looking at the file contents and mistakenly thinks it's an MPEG file! Bug reported upstream http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1335483&group_id=13478&atid=113478 xmms and all plugins are now package.masked and will be removed from the tree in one month. WONTFIX. WONTFIX. |
