Bugzilla – Bug 3904
Audible glitch when pausing
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:17:46 UTC
Streaming flacs, when I press pause the quick fade is performed but there is a slight glitch at full volume just as the player pauses. It appears to me that the volume is being restored to it's previous setting after the pause fade has been performed but before the player has been stopped. The reverse is also occuring when unpausing. Craig
What kind of player are you seeing this with, Craig?
SB2's steaming flac's it doesn't happen with sb1's or 6.3 but changing to 6.3 does change the player firmware. I have an SB3 here now but i won't be able to set it up to test until next weekend if you want. Craig
Ross, can you have a look at trying to reproduce this one?
also cc'ing our firmware developer
Verified. This is very noticable while pausing and unpausing.
What kind of hardware did you use to test this, Ross? SB2? SB3?
Sorry, tested with both SB2 and SB3, SS 6.5b1 - 9074 Windows XP
Also would be interested in your 'file types' settings. Just to verify it's not transcoding flac to anything strange. :)
Created attachment 1458 [details] screen shot of file types
BTW, I'm streaming FLAC files.
I've done some additional testing. SS6.3 with firmware 55 is ok SS6.3 with firmware 59 is ok ss6.5 with firmware 55 is bad ss6.5 with firmware 59 is bad. I figured that this would indicate whether it's a software or firmware problem. Craig
*** Bug 3974 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Reassigning to Dan, and cc'ing Dean. This is a slimserver bug caused by the fix for Bug 2314 in Slim::Player::Source::pauseSynced. The history of this fix is: - Bug 2314 was fixed in r4679 - Bug 2387 (a stutter on pause) removed the fix in r5043 - The same fix for Bug 2314 was checked in r8591, again causing the stutter or glitch The fix for this bug would be to revert r8391 again, but this will regress Bug 2314. Dan, hopefully you can find a solution to both bugs :)
I've just moved from 6.31 FW 55 to 6.5b1 FW61/62 and this glitch has appeared as part of the move. Can I revert just the FW back to 55 to determine if the bug if FW related or Slimserver related?
Subject: Re: Audible glitch when pausing It's not firmware related - please see the bug / change details.
I've reverted the fix for bug 2314 until a better solution can be found. Change 9672
Doesn't seem at lot of point in pushing this to 7.0 when it's fixed at the expense of bug 2314! Would also be nice if these minor audio-affecting bugs got pushed to 6.5.1 rather than 7.0.
Sorry for the confusion. This bug is fixed, by reverting the change. But we should reopen bug 2413.
