Hi,

I am running 0.9.7.42 on Vista Home Premium and am having problems playing files though my Yamaha RX-V3900 which have been ripped from CD by dbpoweramp.

It seems Jamcast can only find the first track of an album ripped. This applies to FLAC, mp3, WMA and WMA Lossless. Even if I rip the files one at a time, rather than the whole album, I can only play the track I ripped first (even if it isn't track one or alphabetically first)

The tracks do play properly on my laptop speakers and also through my Receiver using Windows Media Player.

All other downloaded music and Spotify via the Virtual Soundcard are fine, only ripped files are a problem.

Is there a compatibility issue with this software, and if so, is there a recommended alternative?

Thanks

GD

Hi GD,

No, no known compatibility issues with dBPowerAMP and if Jamcast picks up one tune it should get them all.

If you were ripping while Jamcast was running, this might be an issue with realtime library synchronization, in which case a restart of the Jamcast service should take care of the problem. Sometimes change detection (new files) doesn't quite work write if Jamcast thinks the file is ready to import and there's still a write lock on the file, for example.

Does the track count appear correct on corresponding folder on the Shares tab? In this case, the files might be shared but tagged/imported incorrectly and therefore difficult to find. You might find them easier via Browse Filesystem.

Finally, if you can post your importlog.txt to http://pastebin.org and share the link here; any import errors or errors with realtime sync should be reported in there. I'm happy to take a look for you. Smile

Look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks!

Hi Scott,

Even browsing through the file system using Jamcast only shows the first tracked ripped.

Having said that...if I do what you suggest and rip when Jamcast isn't playing any media, then it all seems to work fine. I can see all the tracks I've ripped and they play no problems

Hi George,

So at this point you've got all tracks accounted for in Jamcast?

Definitely sounds like a realtime monitoring-related thing -- depending on how the ripping application interacts with the filesystem (how and when it writes, closes the file, etc.) it can be difficult to know exactly when a track is ready for import, and if Jamcast is wrong the file will be locked and unreadable.

I'll try ripping with dbPowerAMP myself and see if there's anything that makes sense to change to make this smoother. In the interim, after you do some ripping you can restart the Jamcast service to force a startup scan of your tracks so they import.

Thanks!
