Description Hugh Pyle 2007-02-05 20:38:20 UTC

My inguzdsp plugin (inguzaudio.com/) runs in the transcode pipeline.  It needs to be shutdown "nicely" in order to handle gapless playback.  The 6.5.1 server seems to kill the transcode processes stone dead, and this results in gaps between songs.  (Is this due to change in socketwrapper/usage?  I can't tell).

Behavior was OK in 6.5 (where end of song would just result in the stdin pipeline becoming empty).

Comment 1 KDF 2007-02-05 20:48:14 UTC

see bug 4698, bug 4318

it's all related to similar socktwrapper problems.

Comment 2 Hugh Pyle 2007-02-05 20:55:19 UTC

Also possibly same root cause as 4384.  The stdin/out pipeline is generally buffered by any transcode processes, so killing them will cause data loss.

I'm happy to do any additional testing needed to narrow down this bug, but I'm not sure what a good test case would be, Dan.  Is this a clear enough bug as written for you (or KDF, or someone) to look at further?

Comment 4 Adrian Smith 2007-05-15 14:19:38 UTC

I believe this will be fixed with the new socketwrapper included in change 12002

Comment 5 Hugh Pyle 2007-05-15 15:05:37 UTC

Seems to work great (dropping just socketwrapper.exe into a 6.5.1 build, not installing the whole nightly).

Comment 6 KDF 2007-05-22 11:01:59 UTC

Marking as fixed for the release of 6.5.2 as these issues are believed to be corrected with the updates to socketwrapper included with 6.5.2.  

Please feel free to re-open if there are any continuing issues, or new symptoms we may need to investigate.

Comment 7 Chris Owens 2007-05-22 12:10:26 UTC

Fixed in 6.5.2, which is now released and available for download at http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html
