AAC playback does not function, causes ALL audio file types to not play

Created attachment 5577 [details] AAC file trying to play on Baby SC = Version: 7.4 - r28080 @ Thu Aug 6 04:02:32 PDT 2009 Baby = 7.4 r6930 AAC mp4 = no audio, but Baby and SC7.4 show that it is playing Note: This same AAC file plays back fine via Boom on same SC7.4 build. The real problem is that once this AAC file plays no audio, I now have NO audio for any/all other music files and radio streams. All show as playing on Baby and in the SC7.4 UI, but absolutely no audio. The only way to recover is to unplug Baby.
Please retest with r6950 Are you able to stream http://somafm.com/groovesalad48.pl

== Auto-comment from SVN commit #6963 to the jive repo by richard == == https://svn.slimdevices.com/jive?view=revision&revision=6963 == Bug #13270 Fixed so that this file does not lock up the decoder thread. The file still does not play.
r6950 Same results with that AAC file. All audio fails after attempt. I don't use AAC so that's the only "test" file I've ever had. But that file has been tested on numerous devices and has played fine. Even Boom via SC7.4 plays it fine. No, that Soma stream will not play. But no loss of other audio files/streams after failed play.
Now how the @#$%&* did that post twice??? Sorry. *shrug*
I think your Soma pls URL is bad, it won't play anywhere. This Soma AAC+ 96kbps stream plays fine on Baby: http://205.188.215.230:8010
Toby, as you can see from the checkin comment the fix went in r6963. You'll need to wait for the next firmware release before you can test. I still need to work out why that track won't play. Do you know where you got it, or what encoder was used?
Yes, I'll test after r6963. I was just testing with r6950 per request. :) I have no idea where that file came from, probably dl online somewhere. That "problem" file is mp4, m4a files play fine on Baby. I would not have even mentioned this if not for three (seemingly) important factors: 1. that file plays fine on Boom on SC7.4 (same SC instance Baby is running on) 2. file caused complete audio lockup (no audio on any format) on Baby after attempting to play it 3. it may well be an odd/rogue file, and probably a very rare issue for most Baby users, but that file has played successfully on any/all software and hardware devices that support mp4 playback I'm just trying to throw Baby as many curve balls & variations that I can come up with. But Baby usually outsmarts me. :)

Yes, Baby properly plays the questionable AAC file now. But now WMA Lossless seems to be broken on Baby. Major buffering & studder. Same WMA Lossless file plays fine on my Boom on same SC7.4 Baby = r7177 SC = 7.4 - r28243 Let me know if you want me to attach a file, but maybe this WMA Lossless playback is a known issue and you don't need it.
Nevermind. I see the WMA Lossless is not optimized yet.
