WavPack Hybrid Playback Broken

(1/2) > >>

stuffedspacedog:
Hi, just a heads up that WavPack Hybrid playback is broken with the latest build, after changes to the metadata parser - playback stutters and stops.  Reveting to yesterday's build, everything works OK.

Llorean:
I don't believe Hybrids every played back in hybrid mode. I'm fairly certain they just played as the compressed file.

stuffedspacedog:
Sorry, force of habit, it's the lossy files that won't play back!

I encode my CDs with WavPack hybrid and copy the lossy file to the iRiver.

Lossy files are encoded at a bitrate of 400 with the -x switch.

bryant:
I just loaded the Sept 4 H120 build and created at 400 kbps WavPack file using -x and could not reproduce your problem. The boost ratio was running about 30%, so that doesn't even seem close to being a problem.

Does it happen with the Sept 4 build? Does it happen all the time, or just once in a while? With all files?

The metadata change was so trivial I can't imagine it causing that kind of problem; but programmers always say that!  :)

Thanks...

Hi,

I've just checked using wavpack lossy (love it btw, especially with the extra bits to make it lossless - keep those on my PC and lossy on DAP - great idea!) using 060903-2244 and they work fine for me.  Files are 325 kbps VBR and boost ratio is about 60% (H140)

Cheers
