Suddenly unable to play .m4a and .ape (Solved)
LilyAarseth:
That is really the worst case scenario if any of this really is the case. There is absolutely no chance that this could be the local database of MC27 that is running as server that can be causing it? I did a lot of sync with library server" in the last week when sorting/adding music.
chkdsk /r is currently running and from what I'm reading interrupting it is risky, it's gonna take quite a while to finish, so I won't be able to access/check the files until it completes. I don't believe I have most of the files backed up, but I'll look for a program that could possibly tell if something with the files are wrong.
I've used MP3Tag for years and years without issues, usually to add album artist and year to cue split flac files before importing to MC, but some of the files that doesn't play are also files I've never used that program with. And this is just a very barebone windows 7 pc running with lots of drives as a plex and jriver server. No other software on the computer have automatic access to the music folder that could write changes to the file or tag data as far as I know.
JimH:
If the drive or NAS is failing, I would try copying files to a new drive immediately, hoping to save as much as possible.
LilyAarseth:
I did a full check of the drive, no errors. What is strange is that if I play the files on JRemote 3.34 (on the Mac) it works just fine, seeking works, files that doesn't start playing at all in MC27 plays just fine in JRemote, so I'm still suspecting it could be something to do with MC27 and how it works over the network somehow.
I also checked the files I know I can't start no matter what in MC27 with an mp3 file integrity tool and, nothing was detected.
Playing these files that doesn't work on the mac MC27 (I checked with both intel and universal version of .61) works just fine on MC27 on my W10 machine : https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/658006776805064766/807349747249315850/2021-02-05_21-38-09.mov

Would you mind sharing one of the files you are having issues with just to make sure something hasn't changed here?
If you find one on the small side you could just email it to me
bob (at) jriver (dot) com.
Thanks.
LilyAarseth:
I managed to snag a log from when a flac song suddenly stopped near the end and gave an error.
Hopefully this could prove useful
