General - (fb2k) / Hires Internet Radio - Buffering
Last post by boxerfan88 -
Hi folks,

I am listening to this newly discovered hires internet radio station:
http://icecast.centaury.cl:7570/SuperStereoHiRes4

With the default buffering, it will occasionally stutter ... the the console will show "Playback interrupted, source is stalling..."

I calculated a couple of buffering sizes -- 10secs and 15secs:

X

I tried increasing the buffer size configuration in foobar:

X

The dropouts frequency reduces but still happens, even with 5625kB of buffer. When the dropouts happen, the recovery is pretty fast (about 1-2 secs). If there is a buffer underrun, the recovery time should be much longer (maybe up to 15secs for buffer to fill). (When I start playback, the wait time is about 15secs). I no longer suspect buffer underrun, but something else may be causing foobar to encounter "Playback interrupted, source is stalling..."

Anyone with any idea where else I can check?
Or is there some way to trace/debug the cause of "Playback interrupted, source is stalling..."


Network stream is coming through strong with no visible interruptions...

Thanks for this information. The WIC (Windows Imaging Component) codec makes it possible to decode and encode my *.jpg files with all Windows applications in a very fast way. Winehq use this many years. I am currently on wine 10.7.1 and can even preconfigure Windows 10 or 11 with winecfg. I scale the display to 120%. I can't move my mouse as fast as the masses of JPG images are built up under Facets. Simply great!

https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/commits/wine-10.7?search=jpeg brings me to this hint:

https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/commit/ca7240cc6775c2945306210d48d0d99cc375f10f *.jpg or *.jpeg (now same processing?)

Foobar200 has this change log: 2.0 beta 2 released on 2022-08-30
Utilized Windows Imaging Component for image parsing, removed libwebp dependency. Album covers in HEIF, AVIF, etc can now be viewed if system codecs are present.

2.0 released on 2023-04-26
Utilized Windows Imaging Component for picture decoding, removed libwebp dependency. Album covers in HEIF, AVIF, etc can now be viewed if system codecs are present.

final 1.6.18 released on 2024-05-21
Removed libwebp, utilized Windows Imaging Component for decoding album cover pictures.

It looks as if both versions will no longer have any differences in image processing by May 2024. It's just that refacets display album art does not yet support. However, the album art viewer can display my 4 images simultaneously for the current song or for my actual selection. Unfortunately, in the new version 2, the time interval is horrible.

This does not look like a general problem with the coding, but with the new sql-lite search algorithm and the corresponding image display.

Yeah, I've been thinking that myself. This makes no logical sense at all. It just doesn't work, and there's no reason for it.

Even when I disable all filters and select all genres and all artists, nothing comes up for the faulty files in Album List.

I literally have no idea what to do, this is a problem without a solution.

This is starting to defy logic. If Library search finds the track it's in the library. And when it's in the library, Album List will have it.
Note that you can search in album list using the Filter. You can type "4 time egg" in the filter too and it will list you nothing but that missing track. If your configured pattern fails to display the track, it will still be under "All Music".
Also worth noting is that if the filter now has for example a character that doesn't exist in the missing track, it will be excluded from album list view. I didn't mention this as a possible cause though as the filter isn't remembered on foobar2000 restarts.

If I search for the tracks in Album List, they don't appear anywhere.

What if you drag the full album to a new playlist, select all the tracks, then open properties (of all the tracks at once). It will open a combined Properties view where every value that is identical between the tracks will be shown as is and differing values are clearly marked. This is the easiest way to validate metadata.

Yep, already done that. No luck unfortunately.

That confirms the track is scanned and found in the library and everything related to Media Library configuration seems to be in order. The track should be visible in Album List then, only under some wrong entry.

The search does find the "4 Time Egg" track, but if I click off the selected album, those tracks will all disappear and have to be drag-and-dropped in again. No promising errors, either.

I attached the library configuration screenshot.

It's a shame you didn't do the screenshot the way I asked. This method can't for example pinpoint if the tags differ by unwanted extra spaces.
But perhaps you are right and the track indeed is entirely missing from Media Library. I'm certain your library isn't configured exactly as mine. At least it looks unlikely as your files are loaded from OneDrive backed up Documents directory and my files are on a different hard drive with letter G:.

You can check if media library knows about your track by using Library -> Search, then type "time egg" without the quotes. Does the search find your "4 Time Egg" track?
Is the 'Preferences' -> 'Media Library' -> 'Show errors' button active? If it is, does clicking it show any promising errors about your FLACs?
