Songs skipping / restarting in Instant Mix

Issue description:

Recently, if I choose to make an Instant Mix, the first song will olay for a few seconds and then restart, sometimes twice. Songs may also be skipped at random points.

@itm how do you handle the transcodedContentType answers from getSong?

@Bigmack3000 you can enable the option ignore server side transcoding in the provider settings to workaround this.

It is the mime type of the default transcoding output format set by the user (it does not check if the user enabled transcoding by default or not)

Any reason for not checking? Currently Symfonium relies on that to decide if it should force request a transcode on server side with unsupported format. And assume that if this is present the server will do it by default.

No special reason, this was like that before I added the option I guess. So will fix!

Hey, i uploaded new logs as bigmack3000v2. I selected “ignore server side transcoding” but the issue kept happening. I then cleared my rolling cache, and that fixed it for now.

Strange. Anyway you might want to press cleanup internal state in advanced settings to force an optimization of your db as some queries are really slow.

Ok, I’ll clean that up.

I’m probably off, but I think my rolling cache filled up but then didn’t keep rolling over new files? Idk if it shows in the logs, but the one song that kept skipping after a few seconds was Eric Clapton - Change the World. That’s a larger aiff file, probably around 40mbs. But the rolling cache listed it as only 1.3mb.
