High percentage of tracks have 1-3 seconds chopped off the end
  • Hello,

    I'm continuing to have problems where many tracks are chopped off at the
    end from 1 to 3 seconds. All files were imported via the web UI and are MP3
    CBR with bit rates from 96 to 320 Kbps. Some are mono and others stereo.
    It doesn't seem to matter the length of the show (typically 1/2 to 3 hours)
    or whether the track is near the beginning or end of the show.

    This has been an issue since the original install of 2.2.0, continued on
    2.2.1 and now on 2.3.0.

    I've checked the /var/log/airtime/pypo-liquidsoap/ls_script.log and I'm not
    seeing any obvious errors. Following is a short snippet of a track that
    was prematurely cut:

    The following is from a transition that was not cut prematuraly:

    It seems sometimes a particular track will play fine and at other times,
    it's chopped at the end.

    Crossfades and fades are not used. Tracks are just added to playlists or
    directly to shows without changing any settings.

    Also, the default fade is set to 0.5 seconds but it doesn't really work in
    that it ends up being more of a cut than a fade

  • Thanks for posting the logs. Could you also find the relevant parts in the pypo log file. Pypo is Airtime's schedule and pushes tracks to liquidsoap via the following syntax:

    queue.push annotate:media_id="2",liq_start_next="0",liq_fade_in="0.5",liq_fade_out="0.5",liq_cue_in="0.048",liq_cue_out="312.134",schedule_table_id="1",replay_gain="0 dB":/var/tmp/airtime/pypo/cache/scheduler/2.m4a

    As you can see, the cue in and cue out points are set. I'm curious if the cue out point is set earlier than it should be in your case.

  • So the cue_out of 790.mp3 was set to "1449.008" seconds. Can you verify this is the correct end length.

  • Bill, we may have found a recurring theme here. The tracks that are being slightly cut off. Are they being added via a playlist instead of directly to the show?

    The Mediainfo utility outputs two lengths:

    General:
    Duration (ms) : 1451619
    Duration (precise) : 24mn 11s 619ms

    Audio:
    Duration (ms) : 1458468
    Duration (precise) : 24mn 18s 468ms

    I don't know why two lengths and what each one means.

    I've checked for a TLEN id3 tag and there is none.

    Thanks,
    -Bill
  • I believe this may indicate a problem with the track.

    Our own length calculator determined the length to be 24m and 9 seconds
    whereas mediainfo reports two additional non-consistent lengths. Please try
    opening this file in audacity, exporting it to another file (which should
    correct any problems with the file), and try running it through mediainfo
    or Airtime again.

    Actually, many of the tracks are recorded with Audacity and exported via
    the Lame plugin. Then they are edited by someone else using some other
    software. But many tracks have been created various other ways. I've
    checked some of the recordings that were recording with Audacity before
    they were subsequently edited and they have two different lengths as
    reported by Mediainfo. I suspect one length is the one encoded in the MP3
    metadata and the other is calculated based on the number of frames, etc.

    Also, I tried converting a track to Ogg Vorbis and using that instead of
    the MP3. However after uploading into Airtime, I can't find it even though
    it's tagged consistently with the related MP3's in the same Album. Then
    tried searching by the uploaded date and still can't find it

    Both. However, recently for one particular track, I added it directly to a
    show. When listening, it was cut off. Then, to replay it later, I added
    it to a playlist which was then in turn added to a different show. In this
    case, the track was not cut off. I can't say this is always the case
    though.

    We have a number of repeating shows throughout the day. Because there's
    not yet a way to copy show contents, we create playlists and then add them
    to all the related shows for that day. Within these shows, there are a
    series of tracks all part of an album. Some are cut off and some are not.

    Thanks,
    -Bill

    That would be great!

    In the past two days, I've performed a number of experiments to see if the
    cutoffs could be reduced:

    * Changed default fade to 0.0.
    * Deleted and re-created two playlists. Carefully went through all the in
    these playlists and reviewed all the cues and fades. Especially ensured
    all the cue out points were very close to the length of the track. During
    this process, I noted that Airtime correctly determines the length of the
    audio files as shown in the playlist.

    The result of this is there were still some cut outs. In certain cases,
    I'm hearing the start of certain tracks cut off by 1/2 to 1 second.
    Reencoded all the files in the two shows where these playlists were used
    as Ogg Vorbis files. Still have cut outs.

    Today I used the MP3 Diag tool and processed a number of the MP3 files in
    these two playlists in the event there are issues with some of the files.
    This also had no effect as there were still cut outs.

    Configured a 3.0 second fade out at the end of one of these playlists.
    Instead, I got an abrupt cut.

    Thanks,
    -Bill

  • I have this too!  In fact, I was going on about it as soon as 2.2.0 came out but was largely ignored.  

    I'm pleased, because this means it is not just me.

    I even set up a whole new Airtime server and the problem moved to the new server too with the very same mp3s.  I also used Audacity to create the mp3s and export using LAME.  If it helps, I was using Audacity on a Mac. 

    This really needs fixing, as my listeners are commenting on it - I'm sure this will be the case for Bill too.

  • We believe we found the issue. This is patched for the upcoming 2.3.1, but it would help to have a few people verify the fix.

    If you have Airtime 2.3.0, open the terminal and type




    $ wget 
    https://raw.github.com/sourcefabric/Airtime/2.3.x/airtime_mvc/application/common/DateHelper.php
    $ sudo mv DateHelper.php /usr/share/airtime/application/common/DateHelper.php


    This will not affect your ability to upgrade to 2.3.1 later on.

    It's definitely not fixed. Still getting about 3/4 or more of all tracks
    cut off.

    Was going to send you the logs from a few days ago before installing the
    patch but couldn't see how to post them privately.

    Is there any possibility these cut offs are related to the silence
    detection? When hearing a track get cut off, is there some checking I can
    do by querying the db to see what parameters are being used?

    Sometimes when tracks are not cut off, the transition to the next track
    doesn't sound correct because they are too close together. For the type of
    content we broadcast, crossfading or eliminating silence between tracks
    doesn't sound right most of the time.

    Thanks,
    -Bill

    Interesting - there was a bug found where any file that had a cue out with only one decimal place was being converted - for example: 3.4 to 3.004 instead of 3.400 when we tried to enforce 3 decimal places.

    This is essentially what the change I posted fixed and one user has messaged me privately saying it resolved his problems.

    I just read over your original post and you've mentioned cut-offs of 1-3 seconds, so this defn sounds like a different issue now - since the bug I fixed could never cut off more than 1 second.

    Whenever the issue happens, you could simply send me a private message with /var/log/airtime/pypo/pypo.log attached, along with the exact time it happened.

  • I have installed this too - how quickly should I find out whether this has worked?

  • I guess that would depend on how often it happened before. Please confirm if this has fixed it for you.

    Because your issue is a problem with the way different metadata readers cannot agree on the length of the track, this is a more complex issue. We have something in mind that will be implemented for 2.4. However, will look if I can find a temporary fix for 2.3.1.

    Actually, all software agrees on the length of the tracks including
    Airtime. However the Mediainfo utility shows the standard length that
    agrees with other software in it's General section but in the Audio section
    of the output, it shows a length that's always a few seconds longer.

    I have a tarball to send with notes and logs showing the cut offs but I
    still don't know how to get it to you.

    In an 80 minute span of time, 28 tracks were played and ALL had noticeable
    cut offs except seven tracks. Of the seven that did not have cut offs, I
    replayed a couple of those tracks later and they still did not have cut
    offs.

    Thanks,

  • I suffer the same problem with me pips (time signal).
    I did what Martin say, but I'm still not hearing my time signal.

  • Bill, how big is the tarball?

    It includes each of the most recent logs in the pypo folder and is 480 Kb
    tarred and gzipped. If you only want the pypo.log, it would probably be
    half that. If I pulled out the part of the pypo.log related to the 80
    minutes of the tracks I took notes on, it would be significantly less.

    Thanks,

    I have tested this now with v2.3.1 and it seems like the BBC Pips work with this version!

    Thx for bugfixing!
