Error initializing FLAC encoder. [Begin Conversion]

Re: Error initializing FLAC encoder. [Begin Conversion]

Thanks for the file.

The problem has been fixed-

https://www.dbpoweramp.com/beta/DMC-R173b4.dmg

Your files have particularly large tags. FLAC format is unable to handle such, causing encoding to fail. Additional logic has been added to drop problematic oversized tags, with a notice in information log.

Peter,

Thank you. Will use this version. Can you tell me which tags were oversized? I’m in process of fixing my tags on my entire library so want to avoid creating more issues. I’m in the process of updating using Yate and looking first to Musicbrainz and if necessary, Discogs.

Thx.

Re: Error initializing FLAC encoder. [Begin Conversion]

Peter,

Thx...appreciate the effort.

I'm in the middle of updating tags on my library using Yate to download Musicbrainz metadat and if necessary, Discogs. Can you pls let me know which tags were large so that I'm careful with other files as i continue updating?

Also, should I now install the beta? If so, will future releases also include this logic or should I not update for future releases?

Peter,

Just tried it. 3 files failed. Should I DM you these for investigation?

Re: Error initializing FLAC encoder. [Begin Conversion]

Peter and Spoon,

Pls see comment from the Yate forum from the administrator re: file size limits in flac. (I want to compare the .m4a file to the newly converted .flac files where the large tags were getting stripped so I could see what information was being lost.)

I don't know if this helps addressing the issues I'm having? Thx for you help in resolving these issues (and saving me the hassle of having to re-rip my entire library!

"There are no limitations on the size of individual FLAC comments (actually a 32 bit size). There is a 24 bit (16mb) size restriction on any FLAC container section which effectively limits the overall size of the tag area (not counting artwork) to ~16mb. Every artwork item is limited to ~16mb. It is somewhat unfathomable that the tag area could overflow unless dbPowerAmp is converting artwork to the older embedded base64 format. The only thing that should be possible is that an individual artwork item is greater than 16mb and has to be dropped. In eight years I've seen that once.

It seems to me that unless artwork is dropped you should be okay. If you still want an action I can put something together to do a type of diff. Let me know."

Re: Error initializing FLAC encoder. [Begin Conversion]

Peter and Spoon,

Pls see response from the Yate forum's administrator about the flac size. I had explained the situation to provide context for my request to see if I could use Yate to compare metadata from the original .m4a files with the new .flac files to see what tags were getting dropped because they were too large for .flac format.

Don't know if his comment is helpful in resolving the issues I'm having. I appreciate your help in tracking this down...will save me the hassle of having to re-rip over 500+ CDs! Thx.

Re: Error initializing FLAC encoder. [Begin Conversion]

Thanks for the follow up.

Upon closer inspection of the original problem, there's no need to drop anything. dBpoweramp attempted to first write the file with a single 'padding' chunk large enough to fit all tags, allowing tags to be written in its place after encoding. This would cause libFLAC to fail with the strange error messages you encountered.
This has been revised for the next update (link below), though beta 4 is safe to use, there are no bad behaviors or dropped tags (disregard the info lines about dropped tags, nothing is lost).

As for "error opening file", there seems to be some recurring glitch with reading from network shares - I don't think file content is relevant, as dBpoweramp is unable to open the file, doesn't get as far as reading its content.
I added additional debug logging in today's beta-

https://www.dbpoweramp.com/beta/DMC-R173b5.dmg

If you get it to fail again, please post what it says - there will be extra error codes reported with "error opening file" lines.

I didn't see any extra error codes so I double checked to make sure I was using Beta 5. I also tried another albums and got the following results:

Re: Error initializing FLAC encoder. [Begin Conversion]

Re: Error initializing FLAC encoder. [Begin Conversion]

Thanks for the debug logs. The info I was after is there (errno:35).

New build:

https://www.dbpoweramp.com/beta/DMC-R173b6.dmg

Added workaround for random failure to read files on your NAS.

As for ALAC vs FLAC tag differences, they are being looked into.

Re: Error initializing FLAC encoder. [Begin Conversion]

Thanks for the details.

New build:

https://www.dbpoweramp.com/beta/DMC-R173b8.dmg

Added workaround for momentarily unavailable files when writing tags, per error log above.

It would be interesting to know why this condition happens... as if something was working with the files (media scanner? virus scanner?) making them momentarily unavailable to dBpoweramp.
