9 months ago Thanks for reporting this. I'm gonna do my best to have it fixed soon for a stable release. It would really help to have any kind of minimal reproduction script and tracks! I can see a lot of the details (thanks for the hard investigation work!) but it's still hard to piece together a clue.
My guess is that the beginning of the next track is eaten by whatever is happening between cue-out and cue-in. The exception that you are seeing is not an error per say but it indicates that the decoder has reach the end of the files while in the other cases, it moves to the next track without a full decode, which gives us a clue about the parts of the code that are involved when the issue occurs.
Since you've worked a lot of this, @RM-FM perhaps you might be able to write a short minimal script that can reproduce it?

Describe the bug It appears that
liq_cue_outvalues that are set close to the actual track ending causing often an unexpected track end. This can be seen asFfmpeg_decoder.End_of_filein the log. The same happens after very short tracks like Jingles (e.g. 4 seconds) even without anyliq_cue_outset.As a result this causes two problems:
Furthermore, missing meta data updates are causing serious subsequent problems. E.g. Azuracast doesn't retrieve the feedback once a track has been played. This might affect artist/song rotation rules etc.

To Reproduce Use
cueandcross(crossfade) in the test script. Setliq_cue_outto either a value that is very close to the actual song duration or choose a value that is cleary higher that the duration. Setliq_fade_outandliq_cross_durationto the same value (e.g. 3.0). Alternatively you should be able to force the behavior also by using a very short track like a jingle (4 seconds, no cue out set)You should see the
Ffmpeg_decoder.End_of_fileerror/warning in the log and take note that the meta data stuck on the "faulty" track but do not update. Depending on the tracks you might hear a click/pop at the end of the transition as well.Expected behavior
liq_cue_outvalues in a safe manner to avoid unexpected track endingsVersion details
