[PROBLEM] Library problems

[Gate45]

Hi everyone, 
up to version 9.2.6 everything worked fine and all music files with all the most popular extensions (.flac, .aif, etc.) were loaded into the Library without doing anything. Later versions load Flac files and not Aif files, I have not checked other extensions. I tried "Regenerate, Music Database" without success. If I directly regenerate the folder where there are mixed Flac and Aif files, you can see the folders with the name where the .aif files should be, but if we open them there is nothing inside them, at the next start these folders disappear. Going back to version 9.2.6 all files are loaded again. I see that others have the same unsolved problem, how can we solve it?

 Thanks for your infinite patience.

I don't have any AIFF files in my collection so just now I downloaded two sets of sample files from two sources. As it happens, one set of tracks has .aif file extensions, the other .aiff extensions. 

I saved them in two separate "albums", copied the albums to  /mnt/SDCARD on a moOde 9.3.4 player and updated the library. The AIFFSamples album with its .aiff files was picked up but the AIFSamples album was not. I see similar behavior to what you reported. Looks like a bug may have sneaked into recent code.

Kent

I have some aiff files in a test collection and no issues.

I have some aiff files in a test collection and no issues.

The issue revolves around the file extension .aif vs .aiff.

When I look at the MPD -V output, I see ffmpeg is used to decode .aiff but not .aif. I thought it used to used for both.

@Gate45 try running the MPD -V command on your 9.2.6 system and see if both aiff and aif are listed in the ffmpeg line.

Yes.

 That is the point. Somewhere along the line that got dropped from the build script.

[Tim Curtis]

That format list comes directly from ffmpeg which suggests a change on their end .

One solution is to simply rename the files from *.aif to *.aiff
