Fuze Track Skipping
Nerdy3.14159265:
I'm running Rockbox version 3.11.2 and I have a set of songs that every single time I attempt to play them they are skipped without even a second of audio. I can play them with no problems in Foobar and there shouldn't be any issues with their encoding.

That's a link to a copy of one of the files; there shouldn't be any issues with me distributing it. I got it from the artists bandcamp for a donation ( it was listed as buy it for free or more ).

Its the large embedded cover art. The Ogg spec isn't supposed to have embedded album art, so the official decoders do not handle them well if the embedded art is bigger then the available RAM.
We need to fix this, but the Ogg people haven't fixed it upstream, and its non-trivial for us to work around given how Ogg works.

Okay, now a couple more questions:
I would have thought that rockbox would ignore the cover art because I have smaller copies in the albumart folder, is that not the case?
Is this something that will be fixed in the future with rockbox and/or the ogg format?
Lastly, would the best fix be to find any that are having issues and just shrink the cover art down to something more reasonable? ( I only put huge cover art on songs that I get lossless copies of, normally I try to keep it around 300kb. I swear I'm OCD when it comes to my media )
P.S. Thanks for the very quick response.

Embedded album art in Ogg is always ignored. That doesn't really matter though if the Vorbis code crashes due to lack of memory trying to walk the bitstream.

Interesting I didn't know that the embedded album art was always ignored. I'll just have to take the files that skip and shrink down their album art. Do you know when/if the Ogg standard will be updated to officially include embedded album art? I prefer all my album art to be embedded to prevent losing the album art or messing with additional files.
