Title: Converting sampling rates suddenly stopped working -- MC reporting "Skipped"
Post by: Butters on January 19, 2018, 07:03:52 pm

Greetings,

For the purpose of device compatibility, I am attempting to downsample various flac files to either 44100 Hz or 48000 Hz, via Media Center 23.0.91.

I was successful with 192000 Hz files, 176400 Hz files, and 96000 Hz files.

When I attempted to downsample 88200 Hz files, MC reported "Skipped" for every file in the queue.
Testing a hunch, while troubleshooting, I tried, again, with 192000, 176400, and 9600 Hz files, where minutes ago I had success, and sadly they, too, will no longer convert.

I rebooted my PC.  That did not help.

Does MC have a bug or limitation, when it comes to converting flac files?

This link is a screen capture of my effort:

(Sorry that the video is not sharp -- for reasons unknown, it got somewhat blurred after upload to youtube -- viewing in full screen helps a bit)

Please advise.

Thank you.

Simplistic answer:
Could it be that the files already exist in that folder and that they're being skipped because of that?

Good idea.  Unfortunately, the directory is empty.
I also created a new directory elsewhere, and pointed the output there.  Still got the same "Skipped" result.

I opened my older version (22.0.108) of MC.
That version worked -- it happily converted each tagged file's sampling rate.

Then I went back to my current version (23.0.91), using a new, empty directory.  Same problem.
Then I, again, went back to my old version (22.0.108), and it worked.

What is puzzling is that 23.0.91 was doing the conversions.  I did 3 sets of them.  On the 4th set, it decided to throw in the towel.
 ?

Has MC put the files into the "Bad" database for some reason?

The converter function has an option that reads:
"Skip conversion if the original and destination are the same file type"

I must have accidentally checked that option.  Once unchecked, all was well.
