Anyone here have any ideas? Is there a trace I can add to the flac plugin, or some diagnostic method? Is there some debugging routine I can use to see what's going on? I'll write a script to re-decode/encode the flac files and see if that fixes it. Should be done by tomorrow or the day after (I have some 800 flac files, of length 3-8 minutes). -- Asheesh.

Well, this proves it. I've been running XMMS for hours after deleting the playlist entries without times associated with them. I guess I'm not going to re-flac my files (<sigh type="relief" />). This is still a bug in the Flac decoder plugin. Under Windows, the error is something about stream decoder and "%d". This should be a pretty simple thing to fix -

This is mostly to Matt Zimmerman. The xmms package in unstable was updated to 1.2.6-1; that's fine. Then I noticed my XMMS would no longer play FLAC files. I run testing, not unstable, I thought. What could have happened? That change was propagated into testing without an xmms-flac update! Huh? This makes me wonder: xmms-flac 1.0.2-1 should depend on xmms = 1.2.5. I think because this

I have a CD collection of about 20 discs that I currently archive on my hard disk in MP3 format. No, I do not like lossy compression. No, I do not like closed standards. No, I do not like software patents (Fraunhofer). In fact, I do not even need compression at this point, as my hard disk capacity is greater than the sum total of the CDs' WAV-format sizes. However, I need its ID3

I tagged some FLAC files with ID3V2 information (by the id3v2 program), but their metadata does not show up in XMMS. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have a solution? (I tested the tags using the --list option of id3v2; they are there. XMMS and the FLAC plugin just don't seem to respect them.) -- Asheesh.

Hi all, I have uploaded a source tarball to sourceforge for testing. See the news item in the HTML docs for the changes (or look here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/flac/flac/doc/html/news.html?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/html ) Download here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/flac/flac-1.0.5_beta1.tar.gz?download The standard test of 'configure &&

The best I can suggest is, run XMMS on repeat mode for a few hours. The flac plugin will, if my setup isn't bizarre (it's just debian testing), eventually give way. Just disable audio output or something, let it run overnight, and see what state it's in in the morning. I'm sure the Oggs will be a suitable test, rather than MP3s. Just try a playlist of two entries, with shuffle

I am currently in the process of converting my 8GB of FLAC 0.8 files into 0.9 files (1). As it converts, I wanted to know how everyone else's FLAC 0.9 compares to FLAC 0.8. One thing I noticed is that decompressing my FLAC files within XMMS gives it a 30% CPU usage constantly on my AMD K6-2 300. While this isn't the fastest machine, that's a lot of processing power being used. So,

I've been using FLAC for just over two years now, and I've been on the list for as long. I asked in March of 2001 about ID3 V1 and V2, and learned that both are supported. However, since then FLAC has moved to being an Ogg project, and the Vorbis comment field seems to be more capable. More than once, if I recall correctly, I've read Josh Coalson cursing his support for ID3 tags.

if your talking id3v1, something along the lines of (in bash): for f in *.flac ; do tail -c 128 $f > tag && flac-0.8 -d $f ${f%*.flac}.wav && flac-0.9 -V ${f%*.flac}.wav $f && cat tag >> $f ; done should work. of course, test it before you set it loose on your whole collection. if you're on windows, my condolences... no wait, just get cygwin :) Josh ---

I have an Athlon Thunderbird 1Ghz sitting running all alone in my dorm room while I'm at home for six weeks. I figure I'll run these tests just to give the poor machine something to do. Seeing as 3DNow! extensions seem to enabled by default, I'll give them a whir. I'm running Debian unstable's latest GCC 3.2 prerelease as its compiler. export CC="gcc-3.2" export

I've been with FLAC since 0.7, and I've loved the FLAC files I've ripped with grip, converted from FLAC 0.8 to 0.9, and played constantly on my desktop. And then I noticed the truncated ID3 tags in my FLAC files. I at first thought the problem lied in FLAC; I posted to this list, hoping for a solution. But then I realized my trusty GRIP was the flawed program. Now re-ripping my

Hello, First post to this group. I've been searching for about a week now to find anyone who can solve this problem or point me to the solution. I've been a happy xmms-flac user for 4 years until this week when some new FLAC security updates came along and completely stopped XMMS from playing FLACs on my PC. This is most irritating as I have over 3,500 CDs ripped and FLAC'd in

Hello Dovecot users, Last week I announced my automatic Debian repository for dovecot-1.1. Asheesh Laroia requested source package support and as promised I built it this weekend. Now that it has succesfully released new packages for Timo's latest changes I have activated the new script. To use the source packages you must add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list deb-src

Is there any software that acts like the 'flac' binary but actually does the decoding on a remote host? I'm interested in having at least one faster machine contribute, but preferably more than one. Since the application is ripping CDs, perhaps different machines could take on different files? It would be *amazing* if different hosts could process different parts of the same file.
