Gapless multifile feature doesnt work with flac but works with mp3

[Jasonx]

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 sent an e-mail to the e-mail address you specified. Will be waiting for your reply. Also please include instruction on how to update the device profile. Thanks again for your support.

Hi Paul,

I just received the Updated Profile for my device. Will update it later. Thanks for the quick response and help.

[Paul]

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

[Paul]

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.
