I am running a full install of v0.8.2 special edition with no other components.
I can reproduce this bug everytime.

You need a .SHN file to test this. If you don't have one, download here:
http://www.gdlive.com/shn/

1. Make a new playlist and add a single .shn file in it.
2. Set the order to "Repeat"
3. Start playing. When the song ends. The playlist should repeat and the song should start again. Instead you get this error:



And this error goes on as foobar tries to plays the file again and again (repeat mode).

5. Press the stop button and then press play again. The file will again start playing normally.

Notes: You can only reproduce this error with .SHN files, a single mp3 file in a playlist with repeat mode works fine.

Reproduced with 0.8.2 special on .SHN file made with John33's Shorten V. 3.6.0 via foobar cli.
Seektable seems to be well embedded. (On shortenfiles witout internal or external seektable fb2k gives them up as being 300 hrs or so of length... no matter what actual length is.)

Confirmed, I'll see what I can do.


I couldn't reproduce this so far, though I'll have yet to try it with files encoded by Shorten 3.6.0.

Problem solved. ssamadhi97 will soon upload an updated version of foo_shn.

Oh that! No problem. Only happens when you got shortenfiles with no internal or external seektables... and then it still playbacks flawlessly. You just get a sick display and you can't seek... all shortenfiles with (internal or external) seektables works just fine....

NOBODY EVER had this issue.

Well, nobody except for you, apparently. WTF. I think it's bad karma.


Edit: And I know a lot of people who love this plugin for being able to play and seek properly in seektable-less files.

Put a file that exhibits this issue somewhere for me to download please.

Ok. Sorry. It was 3.22 hrs not what I said. I will upload.
OK. Posted. here.

wow a big thanks
a patch in one day! awesome work.



The most prominent reason i left winamp for foobar. I deal with a lot of shn files and its a blessing to be able to seek without seektables.

Finally don't forget to post the link once the updated foo_shn is up .

And I really don't need advice on my karma in an audio thread, even if latest events gives you some room to gloat.

Heh. wav header of the contained file is broken - not our problem.

Besides, you can seek in that file without any problems using the arrow keys. Of course the seekbar isn't going to help you much when trying to seek around within the first 1:26 of a file that claims to be 3 hours long.

I guess whatever program was used for creating the wav file that's contained in that .shn is severely fuct in a way or two.


Edit: see? must be your karma after all..

Actually I made that file with - %d instead of %s %d i foobar. So it was a construct. But I have had some files from etree.org that was just like that. Only I recoded them and deleted original. Didn't say I thought it was no problem. And uploading my former password basicly marks me as a drunken sod anyways. Which I am. Still, hill Freya, and my taste in music are impeccable, no way to deny that....

Flame them for spreading broken files, then?

Because technically, your shn contained an incomplete wav file.


(FYI, shntool and shnamp both report the same insane length as well, because they retrieve the wav header info of the contained file for this. decoding to wav using a Shorten executable and dropping the file into a player might or might not give you the correct length, because many players will calculate the correct length from the sample format and the actual file size (instead of using the length of the data riff chunk as reported by the wav header))

should I upload same file correctly coded? prolly not needed but I can if somebody want to compare....

Sure, feel free to..

I guess Shorten simply messes up wav header data when encoding from stdin..

this worked with shorten stdin too....

...and I just thought that it was the *.skt file that didn't get written and embedded when using stdin.... well I'm not too technically savvy, am I....?

Well, so much for "ssamadhi97 will soon upload an updated version of foo_shn."

The repeat issue has been fixed, as well as some other stuff.

updated version can be downloaded here: http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uybc/foo_shn.zip

Case's installer has been updated to use this new version as well.


(just posting here in case someone's subscribed to this thread)

Is it just me? I am still getting the error after replacing foo_shn with new http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uybc/foo_shn.zip

Also tried restarting foo bar and creating new playlists. Still getting same error.

redownload, try again.

It's really fixed now. promised.

($#@%&)

Yes now it is fixed
Thanks!
