Audio5js's Flash cuts during a song about audio5js HOT 9 CLOSED

To elaborate, it doesn't cut the ending of the song, it 'skips' to the ending at 2:29, when the ending is really at 3:08.

I'll try to look into this asap. Can you send a code example please so I can reproduce? Or do I just need to seek to 2:29 to reproduce?

from audio5js.

From my tests, you just need to seek to 2:29 to reproduce it. 2:20 will show the ending and finish at 2:29, seeking past 2:29 to 3:08 will fail.

Thank you.

So i checked this out and indeed I can reproduce this in Flash player only (not just in FF, in Chrome as well). I checked with a different MP3 file and saw no problem which leads me to believe there might be a problem with this particular file's encoding. Do you have access to a different version of this song? Maybe try and re-encode it?

there might be a problem with this particular file's encoding

I agree, it happens with a minority of files but many mp3s are in existance which have the same encoding issues. I have found multiple bands with the same problem, ffmpeg doesn't detect a problem with them but flash still has problems seeking them.

I've just checked the encoding type of a few of the files known to have the same issue and they are all using LAME encoder, but I also have mp3 files using the same encoding which work without any problems.

That zippyshare link I have posted above has a flash player which plays the mp3 files like normal. I don't know how to code actionscript but I presume one could decompile zippyshare's player to find out how they're getting it to work?

I'm not an ActionScript expert myself but will try to take a look and see if I can resolve this

Thank you, I too will try to figure it out.

I've installed many open source players trying to find one which has fixed it, I have also tried to decompile zippyshare's player, but the decompilation was full of errors, and I couldn't find any open source players who have fixed it. Then I realized Zippyshare converts the mp3 files to mp4 mono/low bitrate for streaming, so that's why flash hasn't found any errors.

It's frustrating that the only way to fix this is to re-encode the files, I don't want to tamper them.

But I swear there must be a solution with Actionscript, if it can play the mp3 all the way through without any problems (but has problems with seek), then it shows that it can work with the ending, it just needs an alternative way to do the seeking. I'll continue to hunt for that solution

edit; I've given up, AS2 doesn't work as well as AS3.

from audio5js.

I'm sorry there's no apparent solution for this. Trying to find out if there are bugs in the AS3 code turned up empty. I guess there's simply a problem with the encoding which alas I can do nothing about.
