RE: PC player crashes if transcoding wav24-192
Thanks for your input Simon.
So, I had a look at PC side : problem SOLVED ! (it seems... I'm looking for files that still can crash the player). This is the solution if it can help someone. As I said above, the trouble seems related to the length of the URL path, when it is too long, the player crashes. I found info regarding the maximum length of file that Windows10 can manage. Before it was limited to 260 characters, now, IF you make a change in Win10, Win10 can manage longer files name. So, I made the change in Win10 as described here : https://lifehacker.com/windows-10-allows...1785201032 Result : still crashes... Then, I looked at the translation of folders & files names in URL encoded format. The point is that I realized that on the URL path of the file streamed from the NAS, the paths are long because there are of lot of time the "%20" chain. As this chain is made of 3 characters, I was looking for a way to shorten it. To understand translation of "standard" characters into URL encoded characters, I found & used this translator => https://www.urlencoder.org/ Using this translator , standard characters into URL encoded give : space => %20 - => - _ => _ etc... So, as a start I made a very basic change. I renamed all folders & files names of my discog, changing the "space" by "_". By doing so, I saved 2 URL characters for each "space" I had previously in the folders & files names. And it works now, no more crashes !!!!!! My discog is quite large, thus I didn't do it by hands, I used the freeware that enable renaming by batch : https://www.advancedrenamer.com/ This soft is really powerfull, thanks to the developers. Now, with spaces replaced by _, names of folders & files aren't nice to read, but not a big deal since only the tags are really important and remain "clear & nice" to read. I could find info regarding that kind of trouble, maybe I'm alone to face it :-) Hope it helps Rgds PS : that trick works, but I still do not understand why these crashes occured... transcoding in wav24;192 by Minim should be the reason, in combination with long paths names, because no issue without transcoding. As least it works now & Minim is still the best server so far : everything is back to normal. |
