trouble loading/playing long audio files

[ebergelson]

hi--we were pointed to trjs by brian macwhinney and it seems to have some great features! There are a few bugs/glitches we're hitting that i'll just put as individual issues here. we work with daylong audio recordings (cf https://homebank.talkbank.org/) which are of course more demanding than shorter ones for all computations/playback/etc.

• trouble getting files to load (takes several minutes)
• crashes sometimes when playing back or trying to attach media

For very long files, there is of course limits (which I don’t know exactly) about the size of the data. This depends on the capacities of the underlying system. Can you tell me how long are your files and which format they are (including the compression).

You could avoid the problem if you don’t use the wave display. You go to tools / parameters / display and you uncheck the "Display wave intensity” option. Then you close the program (all windows) and restart it. You can also remove the “Display partition” if the soft is still slow.

I just tried this with a 510 mn wave file and it worked fine.

Best

Hi, our files are 740 minutes, they come from lena recorders. In fact the easiest thing to do is for you to try trjs with the file here https://homebank.talkbank.org/access/Public/VanDam-Daylong.html which is the same kind as ours. We can't get it to open in order to undcheck display wave intensity, etc. , but seeing the wav file is a desired feature for us. If everything work smoothly on your end with this .wav file https://media.talkbank.org/homebank/Public/VanDam-Daylong/BN32/ and the .cha file that is inside the BN32 folder here https://homebank.talkbank.org/data/Public/VanDam-Daylong.zip then we'll know it's on our end... best, e

Hi Yes it works on my computer which is not very powerful (a two-year-old MacBook, not even a MacBook Pro). It is normal that you can get it open to uncheck display wave intensity. This is my fault because by default TRJS reopens the last file, which is the one creating problems. I will make a change in a new version of TRJS so that reopening the previous file is an option and not the default behaviour. This new version will be available on Friday I think. In the meantime, you can mislead the software so that it will not reopen the file. You just have either to move the media file or to change its name by one character. As soon as you can open TRJS, you change the wave display option in TRJS and then you can rename your file as it was originally (or move it back). To be on the safe side, remove any file with a .raw extension in your repertory. This is a temporary file that you don’t need anymore. Best Christophe

The new version (0.7.1) does not load the previous file by default, so you can start TRJS and uncheck the display of the waveform (see menu Tools -> Parameters -> Display -> uncheck Display wave intensity)

[christopheparisse]

For this to work correctly, you have to remove both Display wave intensity and Display partition. Displaying the partition should normally work with long files, so I will check this to make this option available in long files, but for the present time, it does not work.
