new tracks have random loop out position

[Owen Williams]

Whenever I import new tracks into my library, there is always a loop_end_position set, but it is random and not helpful. Initially there should be no out point set.

[jus (jus)]

Noticed too that some tracks show a disabled loop overlay in the waveform overview at very first load but could not see a pattern.

I can't reproduce this. How do you import the tracks (drag-drop? external track source?) ?

[RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan)]

I think I found the problem -- it might just be a UI issue. The overview waveform draws a shadow for the loop that covers from the loop-start to the very beginning of the track because when the end point is disabled its value is -1 so the loop went from <loop start> to the -1'th sample.

Owen -- did you see the bad loop end point on the big waveforms or the overview waveforms or both?

Potential fix is in lp:mixxx/1.11 r3409. Please let me know if this is what you were talking about or if it's still an issue.

I see a disabled-colored-highlight in the overview, and an out point in the big waveform (but no highlight). I import tracks by copying files into my library and doing a rescan.

I'll see if that patch fixes the problem -- will it be fixed for files that have already been imported but not loaded/scanned, or just new files?

[RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan)]

I believe it's only a display issue so it should be fixed for all files.

If you do find that it's still there, could you find the id of an affected
track in the library table and then

select type,position,length from cues where track_id=X;

and post it?

Owen -- could you try out the latest 1.11 and verify if it's fixed?

[Owen Williams (ywwg)]

I think it's fixed. I'll reopen if I see it again.
