Playback resets to beginning after pause on FLAC files #635

Closed dbolton closed 4 years ago

dbolton commented 7 years ago

Please include the following details in your bug report:

App-Version: 3.4.0 Phone Name: LG G5 Android Version: 7.0

If I pause a FLAC file, it jumps back to beginning of the track instead of remembering the current payback position.

If I convert the FLAC file to MP3 or ACC, it pauses correctly in Material Player.

This is most likely due to corrupt meta data.

eMBee commented 7 years ago

how would the metadata be corrupt? i have this on flac files freshly generated by the audacity audio editor. that would suggest that audacity produces corrupt files, which i would consider unlikely.

more likely is a misinterpretation of what should be the correct metadata format in either audacity or voice.

other players can play the same files and seek in them just fine. either it is possible to do that without relying on the metadata, or voice is not using the metadata correctly.

dbolton commented 7 years ago

Does anyone have a sample FLAC file that does work?

PaulWoitaschek commented 7 years ago

Please post a file that reproduces this issue.

dbolton commented 7 years ago

I created a file with no copyright (just a recording of me snapping) and exported from Audacity. Here's a temporary link: https://davidbolton.info/files/test.flac (Github won't let me attach that file type directly).

@PaulWoitaschek

I ran into this last night with an audiobook I purchased from Graphic Audio in FLAC format. I've not tried to modify the metadata yet to see if that helps, but will try to give that a try later tonight. Do you happen to know if there is a good Android app for that? I'll fall back to using Ex Falso on my PC otherwise.

FWIW, I'm able to play it using VLC for Android.

Is there a command that I can run (Windows or Linux) to copy just the portion of the file that contains the metadata? I suspect that Graphic Audio would be fine with me sharing that portion of the file for debugging purposes.

I forgot to say, I'm using Voice 3.6.3 from Google Play on Android 7 (LG V20).

Incomplete feedback (more testing to do):

I tested some FLAC files created from Audiobook CDs (using Asunder + Metadata editing via Ex Falso) and those played fine. One notable difference between the files that failed to work properly and those that did was the file size/length of audio.

The files created from CDs are limited in length and size (97 files around 25-30 MB each) and do not have an embedded album cover, whereas the larger files purchased from Graphic Audio are significantly larger (7 files, about 350 MB to 400 MB each).

EDIT:

I should also note that I use the option to jump back X seconds upon resuming playback as a means of reminding myself where I left off. I'll try with and without that option enabled.

With the option to rewind disabled, I can pause and unpause without issue, but attempting to skip (apparently in any direction) causes the track to reset to the beginning.

I'm having a similar problem with .flac files ripped from Audible's .aax with ffmpeg. They play just fine, but there are two issues:

  1. When I tried to pause them, they jumped back to the beginning. I was able to fix this issue by setting Auto Rewind to 0 seconds.

  2. When I try to move through the audiobooks with the slider, forward/back buttons, or Jump To feature, they always reset to the beginning.

I have previously used Voice to listen to .mp3 audiobooks (also converted from .aax files) with no difficulties.

If this is still happening in 5.x please open a new issue and attach a file that demonstrates the issue.

dbolton commented 4 years ago

I would like to test in 5.x. When I download app-proprietary-release.apk from the releases page and try to install, it says "App not installed." Any tips? Samsung Galaxy S10, Android version 10.

Here's a copy of a test file: https://davidbolton.info/files/test.flac (but really it has been any flac file I've encountered).

PaulWoitaschek commented 4 years ago

It's a different signature, you'd need to uninstall the old app first. However if you're on the google play track it should already have the latest version.

PaulWoitaschek commented 4 years ago

The file works fine on my pixel 4. However there is an auto rewind of 2 seconds after each pause so this is very noticeable on this 4 second long file.

dbolton commented 4 years ago

Perfect! And thank you for the tip about uninstalling first. I can confirm that 5.0 do longer has this problem.
