Tracks stop loading into either or both decks.

[Marshall]

I was running AutoDJ and after a few minutes it stopped loading songs into deck 1. When song in deck 2 ended it faded to deck 1(empty but with time of last song displayed) "played" about 8 seconds as it loaded deck 2 and faded back. Later both decks stopped working. AutoDJ was fading back and forth, playing about 8 seconds on either deck with nothing loaded but the last song times still showing. At each switch the top song was removed from the playlist as if it was loaded. I tried to manually load a song in to both decks and it did nothing.

That sounds scary..

Could you provide the log from the faulty run as well? By luck it still exists as mixxx.log.1 or any other suffix.

Can you recall which tracks where playing when th issue starts? Can you play them normally without auto DJ?

Are you able to reproduce the issue, or any idea how?

[Marshall (hammontree153)]

Here you go, all the other log files i have. Surely one of them has it.
Also i ran it for a while last night and it hasn't done it again so far. I
suspect it could be something to do with the skins as i would try to change
it and it would sometimes freeze and crash. These should also be in those
logs.

AutoDJ has always shown various kinds of weird behaviour to me and I try to avoid it. Maybe the whole implementation needs a rework.

The violated assertion in mixxx.log.4 might be caused by AutoDJ, although the logs do not reveal the actual cause:

   Fatal [Main]: ASSERT failure in QList<T>::operator[]: "index out of range", file c:\mixxx\environments\2.0-x64-release\build\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6\include\qtcore\../../src/corelib/tools/qlist.h, line 477

I see many failures of CachingReader trying to read audio data in the more recent log files mixxx.log.2/.3:

   Debug []: ERROR: Could not submit read request for ...

This might be the cause for the truncated files and the confusion of AutoDJ. The implementation of CachingReader(-Worker) gets a rework for 2.1 together with the new SoundSource backend. I've never seen any failure of CachingReader(-Worker) recently in my logs since I'm using 2.1 alpha.

Unfortunately those changes cannot be backported easily to 2.0. We need to find out the cause for the truncation and implement a quick fix for 2.0 until 2.1 is ready for prime time.

[Marshall (hammontree153)]

Thanks, all of that is pretty much over my head though. It hasn't done it
again though so possibly was a one off thing. If it starts again i will try
yo record what it does.

@Uwe: Any ideas how to catch this bug?

[Trevor Hansen (trevornhansen)]

I also have had this happen just this past weekend, I will attempt to send logs as well. I'm using 2.0.0 on a windows 10 with sufficient specs.

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

Yes, a logfile from a faulty run may help.
Which file type e.g. *.mp3 do you use?

Since 2.0.0 we have done significant changes in the engine.
By luck this issue is already solved.

Could you try the latest build from here, and report if the issue still exists?
http://downloads.mixxx.org/builds/master/release/
Unfortunately these are untested alpha versions
So please backup your %LOCALAPPDATA%\Mixxx folder before.

[Marshall (hammontree153)]

I haven't even done any dj stuff in over a year anyway.

Will become obsolete with introduction of the new SoundSource framework and many more internal rework in Mixxx 2.1.

[Marshall (hammontree153)]

I had completly forgot about this, turned out I had corrupted songs. When
they failed to load it locked up the track until the program was restarted.

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

Can you verify these tracks with the recent 2.1 release. Mixxx should now handle these issues gracefully.

[Marshall (hammontree153)]

Unfortunately not, I had a crash since and the music was unrecoverable.
Either way I haven't done any dj-ing in quite a while now. All I used it
for was to run a Playlist to stream online.

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

Is it still the corrupted track?
Does "crash" mean, you cannot load anymore track to any deck?
Are samplers also effected?

Can you send us the corrupt track?
My username at mixxx.org

[Marshall (hammontree153)]

No I meant my whole computer crashed. Hdd failed. Been over a year ago
already.

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

Oh sorry, I misread your first answer. So we can assume this is fixed or was a hardware issue.

[Marshall (hammontree153)]

I would assume fixed as i have no way to test anymore.

Mixxx now uses GitHub for bug tracking. This bug has been migrated to:
https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/issues/8374

[Marshall (hammontree153)]

Discovered it was corrupted music files causing it.
