I've been getting "Audio Streaming Error" on some audio files when trying to stream from MC to Remote on an iPad (i.e., the MC's Zone, as set from JRemote on iPad, is "This Device"). The error, in an alert as soon as the file should start to play, is "Audio streaming error / There was a problem playing the current audio file". The file plays fine on MC itself, i.e. Zone is set to "Player".
I've been seeing this with several .m4a files I get from Apple's iTunes Store. There does not appear to be anything wrong with the files, as evidenced by the fact the MC itself can play them, and other tools like Fission and Metadatics can read the files fine. I've seen this multiple times recently, and the common thread seems to be: large embedded artwork. The case I'm describing has artwork that's 2k x 2k pixels. Remove the artwork, and JRemote can play it fine.
There are two files in this folder on Dropbox:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xvcb0smewd634zt/AAD01Rwsrz1te5cxMy16N56Ra?dl=0One has artwork, one does not. The filenames and song names tell you which is which. Other than the names and the presence of the artwork, the files are identical.
To repro:
-- Add "12 Hallelujah artwork.m4a" to MC library
-- Connect JRemote on iPad to that MC
-- Select Zone = "This Device"
-- Play song "Hallelujah artwork"
-- See "Audio streaming error" on iPad
Now do the same with file "12 Hallelujah no artwork.m4a". It plays to the iPad fine.
Log file from MC including the erroneous event is attached.
