Does not handle sfArk V1 files #6

Closed jrussellsmyth closed 10 years ago

jrussellsmyth commented 10 years ago

Some sfArk files trigger the following error (with sfArkXTm)

* This file was created with sfArk V1, and this program only handles sfArk V2+ files. Use sfArk instead. cpu time taken 0 ms Result: File was created by incompatible sfArk version (not 2.x) errorcode 5 * FAILED ***

file that triggered the failure can be retrieved from Hammersound.net at http://www.hammersound.com/cgi-bin/soundlink.pl?action=view_download_page;ID=644;SoundFont_Location_Selected=Download;SoundFont_Filename_Selected=http://members.brabant.chello.nl/~j.bartels1/JB_ODguitars2.sfArk

Unfortunately v1 uses a proprietary compression algorithm for the non-audio metadata.

It'd be quite a hassle to try and support that - your best bet is probably to use the Windows sfArk program under Wine...

Let's improve the error message with this information and then close this issue.
