| Summary | 0008237: Playback during Copy of large files results in audio artifacts | ||||
| Description | If large tracks are copied within MM (to a folder in MM's My Computer node) and playback of FLAC tracks is then initiated --> FLAC tracks play with audio artifacts (playback halts someetimes, skips sometimes, starts over/repeats segments. All of the above artifacts happen during a single playback session of a single song! Debug log attached. note: the bug doesn't occur for playback of MP3 files. | ||||

Hard to judge from a debug log, more testing would be useful. Particularly: 1. Is it consistently reproducible? 2. Is it a regression (from previous builds and from MM 3.x)? 3. I suppose that it isn't related to the output plug-in, since mp3s work well, right? 4. Any other input format causes a problem? |

1. This is consistently reproducible 2. It occurs in MM 3.x as well 3. Thus far, I've been able to reproduce with playback of Flac and MP3s (it's much easier to reproduce with flac files). The key point that I've found in testing today is that the bug doesn't occur when copying just _any_ flac file--it occurs only when copying large flac files (my test involved copying an album of 7 flac files ranging between 140-180MB each). Note: copying the same files in Windows Explorer and playing other flac tracks in Winamp _occasionally_ results in similar problems. The difference is that: a) With MediaMonkey, the problems occur every 10 seconds. With Winamp, they occur perhaps every 4 minutes. b) With Winamp, the player just stops, waits for the buffer to refill, and then playback continues. With MediaMonkey playback loops/becomes erratic, and the player becomes non-responsive. |

Fixed in build 1421. - Tweaked thread priorities. In case it doesn't help, there's not much else we could do. |
