FLAC playback problems

piotrt

Vu+ Newbie
Both Duo and Ultimo seems to have problems while playing FLAC files. I tested all BH 1.7.6 - 1.7.9 and no matter which player is used (built in or not) - after some time (sometime it happens immediately, sometime after some time) tuner just freezes and only switching power off/on can help. Sometime I can hear metallic distortion of audio (usually on vocal parts). Is there any possible way to fix that problem?

I don't have FLAC files to be reproduced.
Could you please upload here a zipfile with one of them?

Need to find some copyright free ones (due to legal issues). The problem is randomity of that crash/freeze. Sometime problem occurs immediately, sometime after few files, sometime after many tracks.
 
Flac file can be found here for example.

I guess it need to be looped to reproduce problem.

I have experienced same problem in my VU+UNO , it might happen in other VU+ boxes.

I investigated this BUG with the openpli team , here is what we found:

-The problem is related on how gst-launch manages audio devices.
-On VU boxes there are 2 "softwares" to playback audio. The alsasink and the dvbaudiosink.
-Other(almost all) boxes like my et9200 have only the dvbaudiosink
-It seems , sometimes when playaback audio files , gstreamer trys to play using dvbaudiosink which does not work very well in VU+

they found the following solution:

diff --git a/gstdvbaudiosink.c b/gstdvbaudiosink.c
index ab38003..9e245a1100644--- a/gstdvbaudiosink.c
+++ b/gstdvbaudiosink.c@@-183,9+183,6@@ GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE(#ifdef HAVE_AMR
AMRCAPS
#endif-#ifdef HAVE_PCM- PCMCAPS-#endif));

@@-342,9+339,6@@staticGstCaps*gst_dvbaudiosink_get_caps(GstBaseSink*basesink)#ifdef HAVE_AMR
AMRCAPS
#endif-#ifdef HAVE_PCM- PCMCAPS-#endif);

#ifdef HAVE_DTS

fixing this , they generated a new libgstdvbaudiosink.so , this modification in the library solves the isue.

You can read the complete thread , and dowload the library , here:

It would be nice , the fix is made in other distributions such as blackhole and VXI.

NOTE: there is also another BUG present in my VU+ UNO (also other vu+ boxes??) :
its an audio distortion in the left channel, when using VU+ analog RCA AUDIO OUT :: happens sometimes when playing sd/hd channels and radio.

A partial solution was found:
