Bug Description

I have a Mac with OS 10.6.8 (and access to 10.10 as well). I have loaded Mixx and used it successfully (on 10.6.8) to broadcast both live and with auto DJ. However, everything appears properly tagged (song, artist, album) in the library and autoDJ. It also appears on the decks properly. When transmitted to the station the tags are not transmitted.
We have several DJs using the software on PCs and this is not an issue.
Are there any special settings or patches to fix this problem?

I have verified all the metatags are present by streaming the same tunes unmixed in iTunes. This is a consistent, repeatable bug on my Mac. I'm using 10.11.5 and Mixx 2.0. It's the only real thing I have found that's wrong - it's an incredible piece of software otherwise

Unfortunately this high rates bug was not picked up since a while.
I assume there is no Mac + broadcasting user among the contributors and our mac build server is broken for a while.

For a fix, we need one who is able to build Mixxx from source and is willing to investigate the issue more. Are you?
You may try it using: http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/compiling_on_os_x

Else you may try our latest alpha build found here:
http://downloads.mixxx.org/builds/master/release/
It includes some more debug messages.

Please do a test run and provide your mixxx.log:

Hi - I tried out mixxx-2.1.0-alpha-pre-master-git5868-release-macintel64.dmg - the latest alpha Mac installer - and can confirm that the metatags are not streamed in this either. The outcome of all this is that I have to type in each tune manually into the chat interface in my DJ environment, while the giant shoutcast board above the stage fails to display a thing. Everything else works very well.

OK, I was planning on compiling, streaming, and posting the log, but when I built the app, to my surprise, it actually worked sending the metadata. I compiled it with

scons hss1394=0 mad=1 faad=1 coreaudio=0 modplug=1 verbose=0

to use alternate mp3/mp4 support. I will recompile it and try it with core audio. Perhaps that will point someone in the right direction.

That's great news dj-blue!!! Can we get our hands on that build? It would appear you have a working alternative. Is there some reason that would be an undesirable build on MacOS?

Blue (dj-blue) wrote :

@Christopher Johnson

I just built the app from source using the instructions provided by Daniel up-thread. Specifically these: http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/compiling_on_os_x

The trick appears to have been including the MP3/MP4 internal support via the compile command I posted. This would seem to indicate the problem is in the "core audio" support. Let me know if you need more instructions on how I built it.

Revision history for this message
Daniel Schürmann (daschuer) wrote :

Did you cross check that a coreaudio=1 build still suffers the issue?

It is an interesting result, since once the track metatdata is in the library, it should be independent from the used sound source.

If ther is actually a difference, could you add a debug message here:

https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/blob/030519932e2d376ee6481048985230a7a6b7f5eb/src/engine/sidechain/enginebroadcast.cpp#L627

Something like:

qDebug() << "EngineBroadcast::metaDataHasChanged()" << pTrack->getArtist() << pTrack->getTitle();

And here:
https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/blob/030519932e2d376ee6481048985230a7a6b7f5eb/src/engine/sidechain/enginebroadcast.cpp#L700

qDebug() << metadataFinal;

And verify if it is reached when changing the track?

Blue (dj-blue) wrote :

I've now tested with both core audio and the alternate mp3/mp4 builds. Both send metadata. Perhaps this is not so much of a bug as a bad build of the official distribution? Or perhaps a compiler upgrade between the release of 2.0.0 and now has corrected the issue? I haven't bothered adding your debug prints for obvious reasons.

I've attached my build script if this helps anyone else build a working version.

Unfortunately, I am not a developer and found instructions rightfully geared towards people who have a clue.

Blue (dj-blue) wrote :

Repeat, this does not appear to be a bug. A build from source produces a working version. One of the devs needs to build this and re-release it, or you can build it yourself. I attached my build script up thread. You just need to follow the build instructions on the wiki page, selecting the Home Brew method, and then execute my script (you may need to change the versions at the top to match your library versions).

Ian Vince (ixn) wrote :

Hi Blue - I have tried to compile this myself (using your script) and just get errors I don't understand how to fix - I've even looked up those errors, but I find that most of the help out there presumes a level of knowledge of compiling that I don't have. I don't have much experience using Terminal and CLI, so if things work with a couple of tweaks it's fine, but deep troubleshooting stops me in my tracks.
I understand that it isn't a bug so much as a mis-build and that it's a question of one of the devs re-compiling and releasing it. In the mean time, I'll try to hunt down what is going wrong with my builds, but there are only so many hours in the day...

Ok, as the non-Mac guy here I'll ask what is likely to be a very stupid question. DJ Blue indicated that "...tested with both core audio and the alternate mp3/mp4 builds.
Both send metadata. Perhaps this is not so much of a bug as a bad build
of the official distribution? Or perhaps a compiler upgrade between the
release of 2.0.0 and now has corrected the issue?"

possible reasons suggested there are 1) bad build 2) compiler differences

But as a 40 year sw eng, instinct suggests some other possible causes...
3) OS dependency
4) sound system setup
5) sound system software or mixer dependencies

are support for these subsystems, like coreaudio, mad, etc provided in mixxx via statically linked libraries? are there assumptions that an expert Mac sound use might make that the rest of us wouldn't know about?

just some thoughts

Revision history for this message
RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan) wrote :

The difference between CoreAudio and libmad/libfaad (internal MP3/M4A decoding) is only at the point we read the metadata from the file to load it into the Mixxx library.

Ian: can you confirm whether the file you tested shows up with the correct artist/title in the Mixxx library? Based on your log file, you are loading both MP3s and M4As -- can you test one of each please?

If the metadata shows up in the library correctly, we can rule out CoreAudio/libmad/libfaad as causing the problem, since they are unrelated to broadcast metadata publishing. Mixxx's broadcasting system uses your library metadata, so if you change a track's title in Mixxx to be "Foobar", we will broadcast the title "Foobar" -- not whatever CoreAudio/libmad/libfaad decoded from the file.

Blue: Can you please confirm the version of libshout you have installed via homebrew (the output of "brew info libshout"). On the buildserver, we use libshout 2.4.1.

Everybody: Are you using Ogg or MP3 for your broadcast format? If you are using Ogg, do you have "Dynamically update Ogg Vorbis metadata" selected?

Revision history for this message
RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan) wrote :

If using Ogg, and "Dynamically update Ogg Vorbis metadata" is not selected, then it is expected that metadata is not updated. We don't do this by default because some streaming clients have bugs that don't deal well with receiving frequent Ogg metadata updates.

See https://www.mixxx.org/manual/latest/chapters/livebroadcasting.html#live-broadcasting-preferences

"New in version 2.0: Dynamically update Ogg Vorbis metadata option

Dynamically update Ogg Vorbis metadata: Due to flaws in some streaming clients, updating Ogg Vorbis metadata dynamically can cause listener glitches and disconnections. Check this box to update the metadata anyway."

Thanks for the info Christopher -- Windows M4A and Mac M4A are entirely different beasts :) but that is really troubling indeed. It would be great to get more information about that issue but this bug isn't good for that since we're mostly talking about Mac here -- have you already left info on a different bug? I would love to hear if the latest Windows builds have this problem, since we have done significant amounts of work on the decoders since Mixxx 2.0 has been released that Mixxx 2.1 will include.

The files I am testing - M4a & MP3 - all show up with the correct artist/title in the Mixxx library but the tags don't get passed to the shoutcast server. These files will also play fine AND pass on the tags if played from any other music app.

The only thing I can add - which may be of some use(?) - when I connect the stream to a Shoutcast board in Second Life, it displays the title / artist of the last song I streamed with - say - iTunes - as though it hasn't been updated at all - even with a N/A. I wonder whether this might be a clue?

Hi Ian,

Could you please let me know the answer to these two questions:

* Are you streaming with Ogg Vorbis or MP3 as your encoding format?
* Do you have "Dynamically update Ogg Vorbis metadata" checked?

Note, encoding format doesn't refer to whether the files you are playing are Ogg or MP3. You can check this in Preferences -> Live Broadcasting -> Format (in the Encoding section).

thanks!

I do NOT have "Dynamically update Ogg Vorbis metadata" checked?

RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan) wrote :

I just tried Mixxx 2.0 (the release binary from our website) and it properly sends metadata on my machine using a locally running Icecast server in both MP3 and Ogg Vorbis encoding mode (with dynamic metadata update enabled). The latest code (master) also works for me in both modes when built from source or built by our build server. So I can't reproduce locally yet.

Blue -- I don't think you ever explicitly mentioned trying Mixxx 2.0 in this thread, just that you built from source and it worked. Just confirming, are you able to reproduce the issue with the Mixxx 2.0 release build?

Blue, Ian, Christopher, James -- can you please let me know what server (including version number) you are streaming to with Mixxx? (Shoutcast, Icecast, etc.) I am testing with Icecast 2.4.99.1.

My machine was using homebrew for libshout so my version was 2.3.1. I uninstalled it and installed 2.4.1 from source and now my local builds don't send metadata correctly. I'll dig into the code changes between 2.3.1 and 2.4.0 to see if I can find the problem and report a bug upstream.

Fine bit of detective work RJ. My version here is 2.4.1 also, so even if I'd managed to compile anything, it wouldn't have corrected the problem either. I'm guessing a rebuild using 2.3.1 is probably bad practice.

RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan) wrote :

Ah, looks like the key differentiator is being built with TLS mode enabled or not (the build server's libshout build has TLS enabled). If I build 2.4.1 with TLS enabled then the bug occurs but without TLS mode it works.

This switch statement doesn't consider SHOUT_TLS_AUTO (the default mode):
https://github.com/xiph/Icecast-libshout/blob/74c1979aa77616c4271801c97ff6208937904a4f/src/shout.c#L381
which results in shout_set_metadata failing.

Wow, that's great work RJ. If the bug was fixed, what does that mean for the dumb user like me who doesn't want to do my own build? Are there any builds, beta or otherwise that support the newer libshout? Is there a way to turn off TLS being enabled by default at runtime that would allow the current 2.0 to work? Worst option would be perhaps some way to patch the existing 2.0?

As to the earlier question, Mark and I are using the same server, its shoutcast 1. How do I determine the exact version, if that's still useful information?

For reference, here's the fix patch I deployed on top of libshout 2.4.1:
https://github.com/mixxxdj/buildserver/commit/d9c5c76144e07057c97168e4617da0db42752474

I thought this was fixed in libshout by:
https://github.com/xiph/Icecast-libshout/commit/4542dc2d7efd7b12ab80a45cfa4bb4ff6d03fc24
but I actually had to hack it a bit more.

In the "TODO: do something" block I put this:

++ if (self->tls_mode == SHOUT_TLS_AUTO_NO_PLAIN) {
++ self->tls_mode_used = SHOUTERR_NOTLS;
++ return SHOUTERR_NOTLS;
++ }
++ self->tls_mode_used = SHOUT_TLS_DISABLED;

which probably isn't the right fix, but it works around the problem. It seems that self->tls_mode_used is still SHOUTERR_NOTLS when Mixxx calls shout_send_metadata even though we use SHOUT_TLS_AUTO, not SHOUT_TLS_AUTO_NO_PLAIN. I think this is related to the state machine in try_connect that handles detecting whether the server supports TLS upgrade. I'm going to file another bug with libshout to try and get this sorted, and hopefully we can drop this hack when libhout 2.4.2 comes out.

Mixxx 2.1 (which the build is a pre-release of) requires OS X 10.7 or higher, so that's why it's not working on 10.6.8 unfortunately.

(Mixxx on OSX doesn't have an installer, the DMG contains an app bundle that you can drag directly into your Applications folder -- so you can have two versions of Mixxx side-by-side)

Christopher - I'm on El Cap - 10.11.6.
What I do to install is mount the .dmg and copy the app out on the desktop, rename it Mixxx-2-1a.app and then drop it in the applications folder.
