No .aif playback for files bigger than xGB?
« on: February 18, 2017, 09:13:35 am »

I've got an aif file slightly bigger than 2GB which doesn't play. Is it a JRiver limitation? It plays in Windows media player.

Do yourself a favor.  Don't try to play to a JRemote device.  Or DLNA.  Don't use an experimental version of MC either (like QNAP).  Use MC for Windows, or Mac, or Linux, playing to a local device.  Then you'll have good testing data.

Well, might be it's connected to one of them (can't check the PC version currently), but these are the main reasons to use JRiver at all for me. Loosing the QNAP version would be very bad, but loosing JRemote would make me leave JRiver generally.

I think that the problem is that MC uses 32 bit signed integers in its HTTP media server for ContentLength and Byte range Seeks etc. (the largest 32 bit positive number is 2 gig).

This could probably be very easily fixed by switching the code to Int64 values.

I've said this before..

 Thanks, I hope someone sees and acts.
 It's rare, but I've got one album which has only one song and is Hires and over 2GB the file

Maybe you could covert these rare exception albums to FLAC?

Sorry that's not the case. I just played a flac file from MC using cURL. 2.7G...
curl -D /tmp/foo http://199.242.131.131:52100/Music/F118163.flac >/dev/null
cat /tmp/foo

Playing around with this more, the only way I could get it to not play is to play with JRemote with transcoding off.
It appears the http reader in JRemote (or Apples API) can't deal with files >2gb.
