could you please give us the stream's URL or instructions how we can find it? If I search for "1010 WINS" I get an entry "1010 WINS - Not Supported". I've never seen this...

Ah... "Stream is Country restricted". But it would play that message.

Do you have any other stream causing your issue?

Sure here's the stream.

http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s29616&formats=aac,ogg,mp3,wma,wmvoice&partnerId=16&serial=81fc0e417ebefb6df89c6fa969205fee

But please note that this is only an example.  I've had crashes with other streams.

I've also had it with:

Here's the log at the time of the crash:

[11-02-01 13:30:20.0386] Slim::Utils::Scanner::Remote::__ANON__ (237) Error: Can't connect to remote server to retrieve playlist for, [url]http://1382.live.streamtheworld.com/WINSAMDIALUPCMP3:[/url] Timed out waiting for data.

I force-quit perl at this point, looks like its stuck in a loop

I've also had this problem with 7.5.4 beta as well as 7.5.3.
I re-installed 7.5.2 last night -- ,no crashes so far

no problem here playing the second stream (the first one gives me the "not in your country" message)

What about the output from my log?  Does it look like it's stuck in a loop?
(still playing with 7.5.2, only crashes with 7.5.3)

Well, so far, it appears that shortening the stream addresses on my stations fixed the problem.

For example, changing:
http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s2588&formats=aac,ogg,mp3,wma,wmvoice&partnerId=16&serial=9c51827a80620dddb98a24154208d0f3

to:

http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s2588

seems to work.

Seems the problem is that SBS gets stuck in a "Timed out waiting for data" loop.  This problem was introduced with 7.5.3.

Unfortunately, this bug has not yet been assigned (even though the problem has been identified).
Fortunately (for me), I was able to identify and work-around the problem.

I have exactly the same problem/symptoms as Tony describes. I believe you will find, if you check, that all the urls that cause the problem are streaming AAC files. Urls that stream MP3s don't cause don't cause this problem. The problem has to do with the FAAD conversion of AAC to FLAC. See here:

http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85779

So, besides rolling back from 7.5.3 to 7.5.2, an alternative way to fix the problem is to disable AAC decoding in SBS.

I didn't write Comment #14. I have no idea how it got there. (But I did vote for this bug.)

Here is another datum that I take to indicate that this bug is related to AAC decoding. Yesterday, after SBS crashed when listening to Internet radio, when I restarted SBS 7.5.3, I got the following message from my Windows Home Server: "faad.exe encountered a problem and needed to close."

The changelist for 7.5.3 indicates that faad was updated for aac->pcm transcoding (bug 16379).

Can we get this assigned and have someone working on it please.

The platform should be widened as it is definitely affecting WHS (in this bug report) and Debian users as well (me).

AAC internet radio streams are quite common, meaning a problem for those of us that want to listen to them. And downgrading to 7.5.2 means I can't simply use apt-get to keep my system up-to-date without having to change my configuration now as well, as it would default to upgrading Squeezebox Server.

With the latest "nightly" "SqueezeboxServer-7.5.4-31979.exe" the bug seems to
be fixed. With squeezebox.com (31910) the bug is still there...

I cannot reproduce this problem.

Can someone provide a log with player.source set to INFO and scan.scanner set to DEBUG?

Andy

I've gone back to 7.5.2 (again) today after swapping out the faad executable with the 7.5.2 one still wasn't enough to solve the problem on 7.5.3, so I can't debug it at the moment.

I've encountered the problem repeatedly by basically doing the following:
Start listening to an AAC station on a Receiver (so faad/flac is launched to transcode)
(it may race at this point)
Synchronize a second Receiver to the stream

I've not needed to do anything more than that before it hits 100% CPU and I end up having to kill the squeezeboxserver process.

Due to lack of technical knowledge I am not able to provide a log with player.source set to INFO and scan.scanner set to DEBUG. Sorry!

I think all this could be a firmware issue and comes with FW 132 or 52 (Boom),
effecting SBS and also mySB, playing either when playing radio streams . On my systems it happens every couple of minutes, all the time.

I also recognized that my SB resets completely about once in a day.

Andy, please, try to solve all this asap. Meanwhile I am really pissed off...

I think all this could be a firmware issue and comes with FW 132 or 52 (Boom),
effecting SBS and also mySB, playing either radio streams or mp3-files, kept locally on my computer.

bug 16874: SBS Crashes after update to 7.5.3 
Enable generation of stack trace upon signal USR2.

Anyone who is getting this regularly this and running on Linux or Mac could use the latest 7.5.4 nightly (r32061 or above), or they could apply the patch from comment 25. If the spin happens then sending signal USR2 to the perl process will generate a stack trace in the logfile. Something like "kill -USR2 nnnn" where nnnn is the process-id (PID) of the SqueezeboxServer perl process. Doing it a few times in succession is probably a good idea. Attach the resulting stack traces to this bug report please.

I found it, it's a bug in the AAC ADTS header parser.  I need to reproduce it one more time in order to fix it.

Fixed bug 16874, updated to Audio::Scan 0.87

Fix verified in 7.6. 0 r 32383

Bug still exists in my LMS installation on Windows XP connected to a ethernet wired Touch and a Boom. Tried every build up to latest 7.7.2 nightly (12-15-2011). Last build really working correctly in this point was 7.5.2.

When playing a radio stream with AAC format as f.e. Radio Paradise the server always crashes. Sometimes in the first 10 seconds, sometimes after a few minutes, but more likely after heavy changing the radio streams and final going back to an AAC playing station. This happens whether changing the station on the server's web interface or local at the Touch's panel itself.

Last message in logfile is
[11-12-14 20:27:06.9689] Slim::Utils::Scanner::Remote::__ANON__ (240) Error: Can't connect to remote server to retrieve playlist for, http://scfire-dtc-aa06.stream.aol.com/stream/1049: Connect timed out: Bad file descriptor.
[11-12-14 20:29:24.0453] Slim::Utils::Scanner::Remote::__ANON__ (240) Error: Can't connect to remote server to retrieve playlist for, http://87.118.90.178:8003/live: Connect timed out: .

This always goes together with a significant increase of cpu load. On a Intel CoreDuo 1.5 GHz it goes up to 60-70% for a 10 seconds or so, before the crash message from server.exe appears.

Seems to me as still a problem with FAAD, as MP3 streams are always playing fine.

I have found 2 ways to "fix" this (except using 7.5.2):

- edit the stream URL by deleting everything after "&formats=", which forces playing the stream as MP3
- edit the AAC file preferences in LMS to force native AAC decoding by Touch disabling all AAC options containing FAAD

Both workarounds are no real option for me since I have a Boom which can't do native AAC decoding and I still want to enjoy AAC streams regularly sounding better than 128k MP3 streams.

A complete clean LMS reinstall didn't help.

Can somebody please investigate what's wrong with FAAD and AAC ?
