"I'm In Love With A Girl" is an example of a selection that causes player reboot... other DB activity shows adding content to be played through browser/remote streaming interface

I have been experiencing crashes like this as well. Most of my collection is AAC which works fine but all MP3 files seem to cause crashes.

Hi James:  Would love to understand this better.  The player itself reboots (i.e. you see the Slim Devices and Squeezebox logos) or the server restarts?  Also, what kind of file are you trying to play when it reboots?  Can you attach an example file here?  Also, can you note a URL for a working radio station.  Finally, are you running a 6.3 nightly or a 6.5 nightly?
Thanks,
dean

6.5 nightlies... last one used was 6/20, installed cleanly (i.e., wiped all Slim files from OS)

It is a real player reboot, with the Squeezebox logo and everything. Playing any mp3 file causes the crash.

Remote Streaming (I don't really use radio features) tested using iTunes pointing at http://lynchcube.homedns.org:9000/stream.mp3 and content selected using the browser interface, Fishbone skin. Any mp3 file plays properly in this scenario.

I have played some mp3 radio streams without problems - looks like just an issue with local files. I am also seeing a try player reboot - it seems to be instantaneous - no sound is played before the crash. As a workaround I have edited my convert.conf to include:

mp3 wav * *
        [mpg123] -s -q $FILE$

To allow me to listen to those files for now. 

James/Evan,

I am trying to receate this with the latest slimserver 6.5 from svn, but I can play mp3 files just fine. Could you attach an mp3 file that causes the player to boot to the bug report please.

Also more information about your system (e.g. operating system, etc) might prove useful.

Thanks,
Richard

mp3 file referenced in log snippet

Just to re-confirm... remote streaming to a software player (iTunes) works with this nightly, tested with multiple MP3s.

The SB3 (local network) and the SB2 (connected over the Net) reboot immediately when an MP3 is selected to play, whether with the remote or the web interface. I've tested with multiple MP3s, but am uploading one for your testing convenience.

Server os is Mac 10.4.6, 1.5 gig RAM, iTunes libary on internal drive.

SlimServer Version: 6.5b1 - 8069 - Mac OS X 10.4.6 (8I1119) - EN - utf8

    Hardware Overview:

      Machine Name: iMac
      Machine Model: iMac4,1
      CPU Type: Intel Core Duo
      Number Of Cores: 2
      CPU Speed: 2 GHz
      L2 Cache (shared): 2 MB

      Boot ROM Version: IM41.0039.B00
      Serial Number: QP61214RU2S
      SMC Version: 1.1f5

And had to change convert.conf entry to:

mp3 wav * *
        [mpg123] -w - -q $FILE$

because http://wfuv.ic.llnwd.net/stream/wfuv_wfuv sounded like The Chipmunks.

Must have been a db problem... installed 6/21 nightly, cleared database, and things now seem to be working... 

Assigning it to myself and setting target to 6.5 (since it was filed against 6.5) for me to look at.  Even though James's problem is fixed, firmware crashes deserve a try at reproducing them.

spoke too soon... Played three songs, turned off the player, went to grocery store, came back, turned it on. 

It turned back on to the last song played. I hit the remote button to advance to the next song and the SB3 rebooted.

There seems to be endless DB Inserts going on in the log...

It turns out that I'm getting a db not configured message on startup, even though the instance seems to have been built properly.

Reassigning from Richard to Dan to eyeball the DB issue, since it doesn't sound like a firmware bug any more.

James - do you have an audiodir set in Settings? Or are you using iTunes only?

iTunes only...

And iTunes is set to "Yes" in server Settings?

Can you try to Wipe & Rescan the database, making sure that iTunes is set to yes?

Thanks

Which "wipe" method would you like me to use?

1. From the web UI (I've done this a couple of times)

2. Blow away from command line (if so, I could use a little help in wiping just your instance, as mysql seems to be running from inside the PrefPane package)

iTunes is set to Yes.

Subject: Re:  Squeezebox 2 & 3 reboot, never begin playing music with 6/20 (and earlier) nightlies...

Wipe & Rescan from the web ui.

James,

When you say 'reboot' or 'crash' do you mean the device itself crashes?  Like, it stops in the middle of a song and when you look up it's showing the splash screen and trying to reconnect to your network?  Or does it lock up, and you have to pull the plug to bring it back to life?  

Or does it just go to sleep because it can't reach the server (but hitting a button on the remote brings up the 'Problem: Network appears disconnected' or some other expected screen?

This could be two separate bugs needing attention.

this is a full player reboot... blank, to the logo screen, onto the config screen... 

James - your database looks ok.

Are you still having player problems?

I'm going to do a dump and rescan... There is some metadata that isn't being parsed correctly... the replacements album "don't you know who I think I was" is picking up tracks from a green day album... these tracks have a slash in their names... could that cause a parsing issue?

Right now, trying from the SB2 at my office connected to the server over the internet, I can select a track, hit play, and it won't play... no reboot though... I will report back after the rescan is complete.

Choosing a single song from an album, after rebuilding the database... I see the green progress bar in the Fishbone skin on the WebUI advance a little bit, telling me that the server knows where the song is... but nothing gets to the player. It is not rebooting... 

Condition remains in latest nightly...

This might be a related condition:

This is fixed - the problem was with the iTunes scanning. See change 8203

James - I already updated your cube.
