Title: FLAC_STREAM_DECODER_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM
Post by: HiFiTubes on September 25, 2010, 12:26:29 am

I have 24.96 FLAC files my buddy made, and they are playable, but they won't allow cover art tagging.

Then I ran them in Flac Tester and they report:

FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM

I'm reading about others who have encountered this but can't even play the files, I can play these.

Any ideas?

From 2006 in the FLAC changelog:

Quote

Changed FLAC__StreamDecoderState: removed state FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM
Changed FLAC__StreamDecoderErrorStatus: new error code FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM
The above two changes mean that when the decoder encounters what it thinks are unparseable frames from a future decoder, instead of returning a fatal error with the FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM state, it just calls the error callback with FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM and leaves the behavior up to the application.

He says he has been using Foobar to tag his files, except for adding cover art.

When I decode the files, and re-encode, FLAC front end reports "type is set to 1, but file is 24 bits".

And, I get the same error:

[1/1]   C:\Users\kitchen\Documents\On The Corner... .flac...FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM
1 files, 1 errors [1

Is this normal? I'm using 1.21B (newest).

Jim - should this thread be moved?

I get the same error on officially released HDTracks downloads? Is J. Coalson still part of this forum?

I'm curious how we are supposed to future-proof the integrity of our FLAC downloads if they all throw the same error? If the files are actually corrupt, is this the same error message; that would be quite problematic.

Can you send me one to test? bob (at) jriver (dot) com

So are saying that the files play even though the checker says they're bad but they won't take cover art?
