Stutter/skips in Android client

[sindre_mehus]

I have a feeling that this problem started when I upgraded from Android 2.1 to 2.2. Anyone else?

I have only used subsonic since I've had 2.2 on my evo so I'm not sure how it would have acted on 2.1.
The sputtering problem has stopped recently. I think I just had too many apps and widgets on my phone. I deleted sportstap (sports tap) from my phone and the skipping has stopped in subsonic and the HTC music player.
However I still have the problem where it will get to the end of a song and then restart. This apparently only happens when the next song is in the middle of downloading. if the next song is done downloading then it will move on.

Good news! I've discovered two problems, both of which can be fixed.

First of all, I found I bug in my Android code which may cause the song to restart in some situations. It's an easy fix, and I'll release a new version to Android Market in a few days.

Number two: Seems like Android doesn't like mp3 sample rates different from 44.1 kHz. When testing on my phone (Nexus One, Android 2.2), configured with a max bitrate of 96 Kbps, the LAME encoder (on the Subsonic server) produces mp3 data with 32 kHz sample rate. This doesn't seem to be very well supported by Android. For example, you can notice that the song progress bar is moving too slow. This also causes the last part of the song to be played twice.

Anyway: a work-around for this is to go to Settings > Advanced on your Subsonic server. Then specify the following as "Downsample command":

Code: Select all

lame -S -h --resample 44.1 -b %b %s -

This worked for me. Please let me know it it helps!

Good stuff Sindre! I plan on using the android app tonight. I'll let you know if my results differ from yours. Thanks again for your hard work.

Doesn't sound like either addresses the skipping issue on the Droid X. Hopefully you can find that bug soon as well!

Also, have had this problem on 2.1 and 2.2

I just released version 1.7.2 in Android Market. It should hopefully fix some of the skipping problems (see my post above).

I installed the new version. At least it plays the first song all the way through, but it won't skip to the next song on the album. (Select all & Play checked). It just repeates the first song over and over, even thought it has already downloaded the next 5 songs. If I force skip to the next song, the album will play normally.

Hey Sindre thanks for looking into this for us. I installed the newest android client today and i still have the same issue. I even tried changing the downsample from lame -S -h -b %b %s - to lame -S -h --resample 44.1 -b %b %s - without any luck. Maybe the logs below will able to help you.

I noticed that when the problem happens i also get 10-13 18:12:35.198 54 86 W AudioFlinger: write blocked for #of msecs error but not always. I'm running android 1.5 on the Motorola Backflip.

Thanks again,

Sean, thanks for the log.

Now, the player restarting is "supposed to be like that". It's the way progressive download is implemented in the app. Are you hearing stutters (small pauses), or does the song skip to the wrong position when this happens?

I also experienced stutters in Android 1.5, but it disappeared in later Android versions.

Hi Sindre...

After I downloaded the Subsonic update on the Android client 1.7.3 today.

Now when I play a song, it will buffer and start playing. After the song plays for 15-20 seconds it stops and buffers some more, then it continues playing.

My home connection is 30mbits Down and 5mbits Up. So I don't think is my connectivity, plus this began happening after the update.

I have the latest version of the server as well.

My phone is Droid 2 running Android 2.2.2

Any Thoughts? Thanks

Skipping has resolved itself. I'm pretty sure it was just a sign of my system lagging in general. I uninstalled sportstap (sports tap?) And this seems to have improved Android as a whole, and to have stopped the skipping problem. ESPN scorecenter is better anyway.

However I'm still having the problem where the song will restart if the next song isn't done downloading. I'll probably start a new thread or find another one ti solve this problem.

Hey Sindre,
I'm hearing the small pauses every time the following happens and only once in great while does it start from the incorrect spot. It normally restarts from where it stopped from. Hopefully it's just a android 1.5 problem because i'll be getting upgraded to 2.1 any week now.

Oh no! NOW I'm getting the first song skip/download/play/skip/ download issue again. Don't know which of the two recent updates did it, but I'd been flawless up to those on my N1 running Froyo, and CM6-stable. I tried killing all tasks and resuming playback, but to no avail..had to wait for the entire song to d/l.

[technics2000]

After the market update I'm also getting buffering at about 20 seconds in on every track, I'm still getting stuttering as well.

Can you take a look at the logs I posted on the previous page, maybe there's something in there that could lead you to the problem.

[seanpkeown]

Good News. I tested this on my brothers phone who is running android 2.2 and it no longer skips. ^_^
