One whole album of mine does not play. They’re individual high bitrate FLACs. I don’t have a problem playing them with any other music players. I can send the files themselves to a private email, but I cannot post them on this public forum. As far as I can tell, they files are not corrupted or malformed, but I only have a problem with this album in particular.
The play button just either sits there spinning or the play button flickers between pause and play rapidly on occasion.
I cleared my playback cache and it did not fix the problem. It does not appear to be a playback cache issue.
I just noticed that the channels on the album are “3F2M2R/LFE” according to VLC which may be a factor. Strange that FFmpeg might have an issue decoding that.
Debugging this might be a PITA so it’s not a major issue, but it would be really nice to fix if there’s a straightforward solution.
Samsung have a mostly working FLAC decoder so you can confirm it’s ffmpeg by disabling the option prefer internal decoder in the settings and force kill the app to be sure to use the phone decoder.
