Large oggs with chained streams

(1/3) > >>

nimdae:
I have a large amount of 40 to 50 mb ogg files that consist of anywhere from 4 to 8 chained streams. When I attempt to play them, nothing happens. My music ogg files play just fine, however. Is there a limit to the size that an audio file will play? I can unchain them to have smaller ogg files, but due to the number of files and the reason for chaining them, I don't really want to do this.

Llorean:
Out of curiosity, what's the reason for chaining them?

Chained oggs are not supported by Rockbox at this time.

nimdae:
They are radio talk shows with the commercials cut out. Each logical stream is a segment between commercials. I chain them so I can randomize the shows and not the segments.

I could probably re-encode them, but there's hundreds of them. They are used for a stream that I share with my friends, but I wanted to put them on my ipod so I could travel with them.

Knowing quite a bit about the ogg format, I may just screw with the headers and ogg pages, creating a single physical stream.

saratoga:
You could also add support for chaied ogg files in Rockbox!   ;)

nimdae:
Heh, I'm not much of a programmer, to be honest :(

One thing to note is most linux ogg players don't play chained oggs either. They will play the first logical stream, then when that stream ends, looks for the next page for that particular logical stream, which won't exist. Rockbox won't even play the first logical stream.
