Bugzilla – Bug 15400
AAC playback unreliable
Last modified: 2010-04-08 17:24:44 UTC
When I play AAC files on my Touch (r8271) some won't play at al and inevitably, after a few tracks, the whole Touch reboots. I'll attach a sample file that reproducibly does not play (it plays for around 1s and then falls silent). Works fine on iPod or when using server side transcoding (ubuntu).
Created attachment 6413 [details] Sample file
Created attachment 6414 [details] Sample file Sorry, the other sample file was wrong
Created attachment 6415 [details] Sample file This one doesn't play either and recently caused a crash when I tried to play it.
Joerg, how were those sample files created?
No idea :) They are purchases from the iTunes store.
Virgilio, can you say if these sample files work with your decoder?
Changing priorities due to management guidance.
(In reply to comment #6) > Virgilio, can you say if these sample files work with your decoder? I'm attending CES and Manuel is on holidays until the 10th. Let me see what I can do... I'll come back as soon as I can.
We decoded the file Smile.m4a with our AAC decoder on a Beagleboard RESULT: Decodes properly! We copied the file Smile.m4a on an USB-Stick and plug it into the Squeezebox-Touch. We could play the file while navigating via the touchscreen to the player. RESULT: Decodes properly and the SB-Touch did not reboot at all (like mentioned below) HINT: below there is mentioned a release number (r8271); the SB-Touch we use had a FW version "7.5.0 r8143". We will make an update and try the same again.
Smile is the one that works. Please try the other two!
I see. We will do so.
Out of interest: Is this the HD-AAC codec?
No, it is about the AAC decoder.
Sorry, I wasn't referring to the bug. Wanted to ask whether the codec you are using/testing is the one that also supports HD-AAC. Should have made a few more words :)
No. It is a different code. We succesfully decoded the attached files with our decoder running on the BB. Is there anything else we can do to help you on this? Have you been able to decode the files with Sq. Radio?
