I can't play this Ogg (vorbis) file, I can in other players.

Hi, I'm new here but I've been using Foobar since 3 - 4 years already and I absolutely LOVE IT...

I coudn't find where to post bug reports, so I'm sort of posting here...

Anyway, I didn't notice it before, but I can't play several Ogg Vorbis files that with some previous versions (previous to 1.2.6 even) of Foobar, I could... I just downloaded 1.2.9 and I still can't.

I can reproduce the file with SMPlayer, for example.

I've uploaded the file so you can download it from the link below (I don't know how to reproduce the problem in another file, since this happens with just a couple of files in a 500+ bunch).

I'd really appreciate if I could play these files again in Foobar.

I can't open that one with any program that supports .ogg files, tried fb2k, mpc-hc, mpv.
Mediainfo does say it's an .ogg file, but since foobar2000 refuses to even load the file into the playlist I assume it's somehow corrupted. MPC/mpv fail to decode it as well.

I had a quick look on that track and ogginfo reports many these errors
>> Negative or zero granulepos (-1) on vorbis stream outside of headers. This file was created by a buggy encoder
So if it played by some players those probably lack stream error checking.
If you have the source media I recommend to rip and encode it again using proper encoder, or maybe some Ogg vorbis repair tool can restore the stream to playable form.

Thank you for the responses ... I'll try to repair the damaged files.

The problem was finally fixed in FFmpeg and the next foobar2000 version hopefully contains the corrected decoder. In the meantime you can fix the playback by extracting the patched avcodec dlls from the attached zip into the installation folder. [attachment=7838:fb2k_avcodec.zip]
