mt-daapd crashing on initial scan

[indierocksteve]

Just installed mt-daapd for debian (mt-daapd/testing uptodate 0.2.4+r1376-2)
and while running the initial scan I get the following error:

Found /MythTV/music/MyRips/Blues/T-Bone Walker – Original Source/T-Bone Walker – Original Source – 26 – She Had to Let Me Down.m4a

Yes, that file I have. Haven’t looked at it, as I’m trying to get one of the branched merged back into trunk, then I’ll start bug cleanup.

That debian package is very old. You could give the dapper .deb file in the nightlies page a try? I find svn-1586-dapper.deb works for me well.

Of course that file could also be currupt somehow.

Don’t think I’ve touched m4a scanning since the official debian package, though, so I think even nightlies would explode on that. Betcha a nickel it’s a division by zero. Doh.

Ron,

The scans that crashed on me occured after I added some music to my DB that include some M4A files.. are you saying these will cause a problem..

I’d have no idea, coding (or atempting to) caused my brain to melt into gloop 😉

I’ve only ever gotten .flac and .mp3 in my collection. I suspect theres some apple DRMd files on one of my machines mind.

Now to read up and see about cron jobbing replaygain, etc.

If I can manage it, naturally I’ll write it up on the wiki 🙂

Nope, just pathalogical ones. I don’t hear too much about crashing .m4a files, so I suspect it’s something particular to those. I’d bet most of yours are fine.

Updating to nightlies wouldn’t hurt though.
