Subsonic cannot play wma files

[mxgods]

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?

[mxgods]

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

[GJ51]

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?

[mxgods]

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.

[GJ51]

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 - -

http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtop ... hlight=wma

The OP got it working using:

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

[mxgods]

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

[mxgods]

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.

[mxgods]

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.)

[GJ51]

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.

[mxgods]

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.
