Skipping tracks

[utopian]

sometimes when i hit play all it skips to track 2..any ideas anyone.. this is very annoying...

Have you tested other servers, or had someone else test yours? Does someone else from outside get the same issue?

I ask because I get some wierd behaviors and connection issues with IE9 beta that I don't get with Chrome.

don't have anyone else accessing other than myself from inside/outside LAN.. using Firefox.. are there any known issues with this browser possibly ??

I have SS ver 4.1 set up on my WHS.

Browse in and see if you have any problems. If you don't, then we know the problem is on your server.

thanks for that.. tried a few tunes and they didn't skip.. noticed they were mp3 whereas mine are all m4a.. is this causing the problem then...

[GJ51]

Very possible. I do have some m4a's in there somewher. I've never had a problem with them, but it does seem they do cause difficulties for som SS users.

How is you're transcoding set up?

Do you want me to test your site on my phone?

One step with a fixed bit rate (all tags transferred to MP3)

Step 1: ffmpeg -i %s -f mp3 -ar 44100 -ab 320k -ac 2 -map_meta_data 0:0 -
Step 2: none (blank)

or two step transcoding (above is a better choice)

Step 1: ffmpeg -i %s -f wav -ar 44100 -ac 2 -
Step 2: lame --preset cbr %b -S --tt %t --ta %a --tl %l - -

PP: Mark check boxes right from Step 3 and check players settings (log as admin to see all players).

Try this for the transcoding.

Thanks to Stozher for the info. He da man when it comes to transcoding!

not sure whats happened but my skipping seems to be cured.. running with the latest version (maybe that sorted it somehow...)
