can't attach the file, it's too large.

Could you put it up for me somewhere and either post the link or send me mail if
it's temporary? Thanks.
Comment 3 Kevin Pearsall 2005-05-25 11:03:31 UTC
confirmed that this is an issue with fw 13.  will also put the file on my linux
machine at home.

Comment 6 Vidur Apparao 2005-07-11 13:34:45 UTC
There are FLAC errors trying to decompress on the desktop:

03 - Sol Central- El Avatar.flac: *** Got error code
0:FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_LOST_SYNC
03 - Sol Central- El Avatar.flac: *** Got error code
0:FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_LOST_SYNC
03 - Sol Central- El Avatar.flac: *** Got error code
1:FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_BAD_HEADER
03 - Sol Central- El Avatar.flac: *** Got error code
0:FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_LOST_SYNC


03 - Sol Central- El Avatar.flac: ERROR while decoding data
                                  state = FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_FRAME

Of course, we should be able to deal with these more gracfully in the SB2.

firmware fix

Well, I've got a firmware fix that prevents the crash. I'm at little wary of
the fix also cutting short legitimate streams, so I'm not quite ready to push
it out. Attaching firmware image for anyone who would like to test it out.
Comment 8 Vidur Apparao 2005-07-15 17:49:33 UTC
Checked in the firmware fix as change 3718.

This bug was marked resolved in Slimserver 6.1, which is several versions ago.  If you're still seeing this bug, please re-open it.  Thanks!
