Bugzilla – Bug 2742
Playback freezes in several cases
Last modified: 2006-04-21 16:46:42 UTC
I have two recently purchased SB2 units running firmware 28. They are connected to a Linux (2.6 kernel) machine (1.5GB RAM, 700MHz) running SlimServer 6.2.1 - 5194. Every once in a while, especially while running synchronized, the playback of FLAC encoded music will halt at the end of a file, and not resume automatically. I have left the units for up to ten minutes in this state. The user interface remains responsive, I can get playback to continue immediately by pressing Play or otherwise affecting the transport. The network between the SB2s and the Linux machine are pairs of ViewSonic wireless bridges that work flawlessly for other network nodes. This seems related to bug 1595. I have had other issues: sometimes playback halts in mid-song, and sometime when starting to play while synchronized, one unit will output several loud crashing noises, then cease playback entirely until power cycled. I do not know if these are related.
I experience FLAC encoded music halting at the end of a file as well. Although it seems to be repeatable with the same files. I have no trouble with mp3 files. Manually skipping to the next song resumes playback. I am running Slimserver 6.2.2 on Linux and using a Squeezebox 1.
Please update to the latest 6.2.2 prerelease, a number of bugs where the player would spontaneously stop have been addressed. If you are still having the issue, please reopen the bug. If you find it fixes your issue, please confirm. Thanks!
