[FIXED] a playlist promblem about cue flie

Post by chineseholmes » Sun Jun 17, 2012 4:10 pm

I have saveral albums are whole ape or tta files with cue files, I would like to pick songs from those albums to creat a playlist.
I Enqueue the picked songs in the Queue and EXPORT to a playlist. But in the playlist there are the whole ape and tta files, not just the songs which I want.

Thank you for a good question. Such playlists with exported CUE entries will work only with Neutron unless other players decide to support the extension of M3U which I made specifically for Neutron to add ability to export separate CUE entries:

Here is an example of how it looks:

Code: Select all

#EXTINF:324, A-Ha - Minor Earth Major Sky
#EXTALB:Minor Earth | Major Sky
#EXTPOS:0
\Music\2000 - Minor Earth, Major Sky\A-Ha - Minor Earth _ Major Sky.flac

#EXTINF:273, A-Ha - Little Black Heart
#EXTALB:Minor Earth | Major Sky
#EXTPOS:324533
\Music\2000 - Minor Earth, Major Sky\A-Ha - Minor Earth _ Major Sky.flac
As you can notice there are additional information descriptors: #EXTALB (name of album) and #EXTPOS (offset in milliseconds).
#EXTALB:Minor Earth | Major Sky
#EXTPOS:0

To export songs as you wish requires re-encoding of one big file to smaller chunks. This is not done by Neutron.

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U

#EXTINF:254, Kalafina - to the beginning
#EXTALB:to the beginning
#EXTPOS:0
/mnt/sdcard-ext/[EAC][120418] Kalafina - to the beginning[wav+cue+log]/Kalafina - to the beginning.wav
Use the playlist above as an example.The promblem is that when I open the playlist with Neutron, it plays the whole wav file instead of the first song (the song length time shows 13:46.880 not 04:14.480)

Well, I'v tried the new version 1.60 NEON 64, and found that the problem is not resolved completely.When the song is not the first one in the cue, it is OK.When the song is the first one in the cue, it plays the whole ape file.

Thank you very much for your notice. Will check implementation again and fix it for 1.61.

I'v got a temporary solution when the song is the first one in the cue:
Edit the m3u files, change #EXTPOS:0 to #EXTPOS:10 (the value should be at least 10)
