It's scary that a read-only access damages files. I assume a lot of buffering is going on in the background, because audio is large, and has a lossless codec.
- format your USB drive as EXT4
if it doesn't work, create a swap file (I suggest to create it at the same USB drive, swap file size: twice RPi RAM size)
Thanks, I will try that. Just for the info It happen also with light mp3 to heavy DST and WAV audio file.
Which file system do you use for your thumb drives? Maybe this makes a different.
Hi,
A exFAT (version 1.0). I believed that it also happened on NTFS.
I have all sorts of music with different codec and type. It is not discriminating any type of audio!
The played track:
| Format : FLAC Format/Info : Free Lossless Audio Codec File size : 111 MiB Duration : 5 min 23 s Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 2 862 kb/s | Audio Format :FLAC Format/Info : Free Lossless Audio Codec Duration : 5 min 23 s Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 2 856 kb/s Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel layout : L R | Sampling rate : 96.0 kHz Bit depth : 24 bits Compression mode : Lossless Stream size : 110 MiB (100%) |
Funny issue, I never heard about that. Like a broken vinyl record.
Playback is a read-only process, so LE can't be the cause. I think your USB drive has reached end-of-life.
Nope, it happened on different type of USB flash drive!
Extract of damaged Audio file at 4s. and 8s.
Hi, I am experiencing a weird problem with High and standard resolution audio file, they will play over and over perfectly fine until randomly a "scratch"will be heard, once it happens the scratches can be heard over again at the same time.
The interesting part is that the file became corrupted, I have listen to the same audio file on a different support with the same annoying noises while the original file from another source on laptop plays perfectly.
What I use:
Raspberry pi 4 with DAC+
Libreelec latest version
Music library stocked on a USB memory flash drive.
Thank you.
Simultaneous audio output to HDMI and analog is no longer possible (without some severe tinkering and drawbacks).
Use the Audio Profiles addon from the kodi repository to easily switch audio output (eg with a button on your remote). See here for more info Add-on:Audio Profiles - Official Kodi Wiki
so long,
Hias
Thanks, I'll try that. Update 9/4/21 This addon is not working.
Hello everyone,
Newly updated to Libreelec 10, the option HDMI/Jack output (simultaneously) on Raspberry pi is gone,
I could add this line in Config.txt dtparam=audio=on which works but I have to manually switch back every time. What line should I add in the config page in order to make this work?
Thank you.
