Deck 2 Crashed on Auto DJ Mode

[Randy Odish]

While DJing at a local venue in Auto DJ mode, suddenly the 2nd deck became completely unusable. I couldn't insert a new track, the disk wouldn't populate, and I could only fix it by cycling MIXXX.

I'm unsure of what the smoking gun in - in the interim I'm running the program in admin mode, compatibility mode set to W8, & I've lowered the FPS on the Eq. from 30 to 24.

[Be (be.ing)]

I suspect this is a duplicate of 1490580, which has already been fixed in the master Git branch. Does the bug happen whenever you try to play the file C:/Users/rfodi/Music/01 Red Mud.mp4 ? If so, try a master build from http://downloads.mixxx.org/builds/master/release/

[Randy Odish (rfodish)]

Thank you for the prompt reply. I have tested "Red Mud" with a simple
audio configuration using my laptop as primary speakers - no issue. The
configuration when this occurred was different however.

Please verify this is the latest master build for windows 64x edition -
thanks in advance!

Disregard - I got it, thank you!

Thank you for the detailed bug report. Unfortunately any issues with decoding and playback of files in version 2.0 are not relevant any more. We have rewritten the backend almost completely.

I will close this bug with status "Fix Committed", because it is very unlikely to provide helpful information.

Testing the new version is very much appreciated and I even recommend to use it instead of 2.0.

[Randy Odish (rfodish)]

Thank you for your response. I will continue using the latest master build
for my DJing needs and will happily submit any bugs I find in the interim.

The bug happened AGAIN on 7/29:

System - W10 Surface Pro 4 64x
SW: mixxx-2.1.0-alpha-pre-master-git6329-release-x64 (Run as admin mode + W8 compatibility)
File type of all music is .mp3- not FLAC.

Same scenario, left Auto DJ running and all of a sudden the music stopped with Deck 2 unable to operation normally. The fix was cycling Mixxx.

This bug was reported as fixed: https://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/troubleshooting. It needs to be fixed ASAP.

[Randy Odish (rfodish)]

Adding additional logging of above incident.

[Uwe Klotz (uklotzde-deactivatedaccount)]

This is not a decoding error and also none of the issues that have already been fixed.

I don't see any errors or noticeable messages in the logs.

[Randy Odish (rfodish)]

I just noticed "Red Mud" and "It Girl" were .mp4 instead of .mp3. Both
occurences of deck 2 crashing was when these songs were being played, I've
since then converted them both to .mp3.

Hope that fixes things.

As explained on the wiki at https://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/troubleshooting#a_deck_randomly_stops_playing , converting from one lossy format like AAC to another like MP3 is not recommended. Instead, it is recommended to either use prerelease versions of 2.1 or convert the MP4 files to FLAC and keep the original files around, then delete the FLAC files when upgrading to 2.1.

[Randy Odish (rfodish)]

Klotz - Where can I find the release notes for master builds?

Seems like there's an extreme gap between July/Aug builds.

The closest thing to release notes for the master builds would be the Git commit history:
https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/commits/master

We're currently having issues with the build server and website. There indeed have been changes in the master branch since July, but somehow the master builds since July 10 were lost from https://downloads.mixxx.org/

[Randy Odish (rfodish)]

Understood - thanks for the update.

I do not see any x64 .msi installs for the latest build - is this being
worked on or omitted intentionally?

We're aware of the issue and working on it. There have been changes to the Windows installer recently. The installers will be EXE files from now on instead of MSI files.

[Be (be.ing)]

Builds are back! https://downloads.mixxx.org/builds/master/release/

[Randy Odish (rfodish)]

Yay!

Thanks for the follow up.

I have installed/played with this version today - is there a bug that
outlines the pitch issue?
I am unable to increase or decrease the pitch from the GUI - see below:

Are You sure you are using the latest version linked as above?
I am asking, because I have fixed a similar issue before. Now it seems, it is back.

Please attache a mixxx.log file of a faulty run.

[Randy Odish (rfodish)]

See enclosed. And yes - this issue actually existed in the previous
version I had installed.

Just installed git63378 x64 - same issue - this happens on both decks 1/2.

See enclosed for logs.

This has drifted away from the original topic. Please report a new bug for this pitch fader issue and attach your mixxx.cfg file as well as the logs. It may be related to Bug #1631393.

[Randy Odish (rfodish)]

Done. Thanks.
