"Losing signal" between songs #53

Closed fryslanboppe closed 5 years ago

Between the songs, theres 1 or 2 seconds of very loud noise. The same noise as when there's no signal (as when the Pi is turned off.)

Yeah, that's the supposed behaviour. Since each song is being played as a separate process/pipe, it's normal for it to skip between the end of the pipe and the new process being launched. The alternative would be to use a named pipe (to be kept always active) But this way you could easily get the last "half a second" of the last played song to be looped until a new song starts (which is not really pleasant to hear either) because of buffer. So a possible solution could be to generate/play 1 second of silence after each song... developers are welcome btw :)
