Im demoing the mezzmo 3.4 and when i created a gapless multifile flac, it only plays the first file then stops after the track and doesnt continue to play the rest of the tracks. With mp3, it plays all gaplessly with no problem. Anything i need to do to make this work?
Gapless music streaming is dependent on the device you are streaming to (i.e. it has to be able to decode and play gapless music). Your device may be able to play gapless MP3s but may not be able to play gapless FLAC. What device do you have and what device profile is assigned to your device? Go to the Media Devices dialog to see this. We may need to tweak the device profile. Also, post the FFmpeg information for one of the FLAC files that you have inside your gapless FLAC. Right-click on the FLAC in Mezzmo and click 'Get FFmpeg Information'.
Hi Paul,
I'm using a Marantz NA-7004. Here is the info you are asking. By the way i'm using the Mezzo Feature Gapless Multifile(you select multiple files and make them play gapless).

Hi Paul,
I just received the Updated Profile for my device. Will update it later. Thanks for the quick response and help.
OK - let us know how it goes.
Hi Paul,
Tested it now. Replaced the Device profile with the one you guys sent me and issue still same.. It only plays the first track of the single file then stops after playing. Here is the info of the file.
I tried to transcode it then chooses the mp3 format and it plays gaplessly. I guess it's really flac's thats affected..

Hi Paul,
Just wanted to ask if there's an update regarding this? Thanks
Hi Jason,
Please turn on logging in Mezzmo (see http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...nostic-logging) and restart your Mezzmo server. Right-click on the gapless FLAC and click Properties. On the Properties dialog, go to the Transcoding tab and delete all transcoded files. Now stream the gapless FLAC to your Marantz and when it only plays the first track, stop your Mezzmo server and exit Mezzmo. Zip up all the logs and email them to us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com.
Thanks Paul, will do this later today after work. Will keep you posted. Thanks for the update.Quote:

Thanks - got your logs. We'll analyse them and report back via email.
Thanks Paul... will be waiting for that e-mail. Thanks for the support. I hope we can have a fix for this so i can buy the software as this is the feature that i really needed.Quote:

I have Flac Cue albums in a single file and i can see all the tracks when using an ios/android remote on some players out there. Can this be done as well here? I have not tested any android app remote here so i'm not sure what will i see, but do you get what i'm saying? I mean if i have an actual file (There is actually two files, one is .flac and the other one is .cue) with multiple tracks, remote apps from other players are seeing the tracks inside the single file instead of just seeing the single file. Will bubbleupnp see this as a multiple track file instead of a single one?
Hi Paul,
Gapless Multifile works, there's another issue.. I made a Gapless file again this time with 192khz bit rate, my Marantz is connected to a DAC and the DAC reads only 96khz.. anything higher than 96khz is being read as 96khz and not the actual bitrate if it's more than 96khz. If i play a regular non gapless single file that is 192, the dac registers 192.. it's only Gapless multifile affected

Anyway

Ok i thought everything is fine but my mistake.. here is what's going on..
To test all my files..
I created Gapless Multifiles with 192khz bitrate(All files in album are 192), 176khz, 96khz, 88khz, 44khz flac files..
I connected the Marantz NA-7004 to a DAC just to see if the Marantz is receiving the bitrate and passing it correctly to the DAC
I have two ways of playing the file. Via NA7004 remote and via Bubbleunpn Android remote app..
When i play using the NA-7004 remote and select the server and hit the file, all files greater than 96khz is being played only at 96khz(according to DAC display) but continues to play the rest of the track
When i use the bubbleUpnp remote, select the NA-7004 as Renderer and Mezzmo as Local Media Server from the device settings.. all Bitrate is being sent correctly to the Marantz and then DAC. The DAC displays the correct bitrate being played by the Marantz BUT PLAYS ONLY THE FIRST TRACK OF THE MULTIFILE AND STOPS..
I'm not sure what's the difference between the two..
Hi Jason,
Thanks for the detailed posts. We have emailed you an updated device profile to try. Let us know how it goes.
Thanks Paul, will test this as soon as i get homeQuote:

1. When using the Marantz Remote, and choosing the DLNA server, then selecting the Gapless Multi File.. It works.. Bitrate is now being sent correctly and it would play continously.. so problem on this part is solved..
2. ISSUE. If i use an APPS for remote (i use BubbleUpNp). I select Marantz as the Renderer and Mezzmo as the Library. I select the Gapless Multifile and Play. It will play with the correct bitrate but will not play the next track. It will just play the 1st track and never the rest. I also notice that it doesnt Transcode a newly created gapless multifile, i guess this is the reason the Marantz didnt play the next track..
So is there a difference with DLNA if it sense that the control is coming from The renderer or from a remote apps? Is there a difference using the Actual Remote of the Marantz or using an APPS as a remote like Bubbleupnp?
WIll send the logs again
Hi Jason,
Got your logs. Glad the new device profile works now. I have sent you an email explaining why the BubbleUPnP app does not work correctly. Our new Mezzmo (Android) app does overcome this problem and will stream your files properly, so I suggest you try this when it is released in the next 1-2 weeks.
