Subsonic Forum

I'm running subsonic 4.4 on windows server 2008 x64 (which is a virtual machine running under hyper-v server 2008 r2). Everything seems to play fine except for wma files. FFMPEG gives me an error of:

Error while decoding stream #0.0
Last message repeated 1 times
[wmav2 @ 03346160]block_len_bits 6 out of range

What's your transcoding?

Stage 1:
ffmpeg -i %s -v 0 -f wav -

Stage 2:
lame -b %b --tt %t --ta %a --tl %l -S --resample 44.1 - -



It fails on stage 1

That looks correct. I've seen others have trouble with WMA's before, but I've never had trouble with mine. Do all WMA files give the same result, or do some work?

All wma files do. This only happened since i moved my subsonic install from an old desktop to a vm that i use to host all my web applications.

Java up-to-date?

Other users use

wmadec %s -
lame -b %b -r - -

successfully.

Here are some other option that others use:

Step 1 : ffmpeg -v 0 -i %s -f mp3 -acodec libmp3
Step 2 : lame -ar 44100 -aq 0 -ac 2 -map_meta_data 0:0 -

Another one:

Step 1: wmadec -b 16 %s -
Step 2: lame -v -b %b -r - -

another claims removing the v helps

Step 1: wmadec -b 16 %s -
Step 2: lame -b %b -r - -

One step settings:

ABR:

ffmpeg -v 0 -i %s -f mp3 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 44100 -ab %bk -ac 2 -map_meta_data 0:0 -

VBR:

ffmpeg -v 0 -i %s -f mp3 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 44100 -aq 0 -ac 2 -map_meta_data 0:0 -


Not having problems myself, I have not tested these transcodings, nut others claim these settings work on their systems.

Java is up to date. When i changed the decoder this is what came up in the log:

Forgot to say, when i tried the first suggestion, it worked up untill the last line:

[4/19/11 11:08:11 AM EDT] DEBUG InputStreamReaderThread (c:\subsonic\transcode\ffmpeg) At least one output file must be specified

Here's what Sindre posted last year:

Sounds like that ffmpeg doesn't support wma lossless. If it worked with your previous setup you can change the transcoding settings for wma as follows:

Go to Settings > Transcoding, and specify:
Step 1: wmadec %s
Step 2: lame -b %b --tt %t --ta %a --tl %l -S --resample 44.1 -x - -

The OP got it working using:

Step 1: wmadec %s
Step 2: lame -v -V 0 -b 96 -B 320 -x - -

Neither worked. The second gave me an error message of invalid file type.

I'm guessing it is a problem with windows media player. Since the vm does not have a sound card, maybe its causing issues with Windows Media Player.

I looked up the error message I was getting: error code 0xc00d0bbd. It said there was a problem with DRM (assuming its because the audio was ripped with windows media player.)

One idea, can you rename one of the files you're having trouble with to test.wma and place it in a directory that is very simple in it's structrure, e.g. C:\WMAtests\tests\test.wma

Reading the log output, I'm wondering if you may be having issues parsing the filename.

Still nothing. If i try to play the file on the server it fails due to not having an audio card. These files played when i had subsonic installed on a vista physical computer.
