A few .ogg files simply won't play, Sanza Clip+.
« on: December 09, 2016, 08:10:06 PM »
Using the latest dev build. Got an ogg file that refuses to play period, but all computer programs handle it fine.

I also have two ogg files that have issues. Rockbox will often skip over them or refuse to play them. SOmetimes manually selecting them from the file menu works, but it seems to be a 50/50 thing.

Here's one of them.

I'm pretty certain it's a hardware issue with Rockbox, as the files work in Goldwave, foobar2000, Winamp, and every other player I've tossed them at.

That Ogg file has an enormous picture attached ahead of the audio stream.  There isn't enough ram on the device to parse the picture, so the file is skipped. 

The MP3 file works fine on my Clip+, not sure what the problem is there.

Any way to repair it?

As for the mp3, I uploaded the wrong file. It's another ogg that's giving me trouble.

I have two ogg files, rips of a live performance. Both tend to be skipped over. I took a video of the problem if you need it.

Most tagging programs can fix the ogg. Foobar for example.

If you can find a way to reproduce the problem on the mp3, I can look at it. A video doesn't help me.

Yeah, I messed up, it was two ogg files that were the problem, not mp3, and I know images aren't the problem here.

They're extracted .ogg files from a cellphone video.  Links fixed.

The second file you attached also has an enormous picture.  Your player only has 8 MB of RAM. You shouldn't even be putting pictures in Ogg files, but if you must, try to limit them to a few hundred KB.

One could probably argue that it is a bug that it worked in the cases where it did.

AFAIK there is no standard for embedded artwork in .ogg whatsoever.

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

Not sure how it happened to be honest, the first was a purchased download, the second was a rip from a video and really shouldn't have had an image. Goldwave must have added it in that case.
