[SOLVED] Something seriously wrong with Squeezelite.

[davem]

OK - an interesting update. I have been on a boring session for work that I was supposed to be listening to.... Great time to do something else.

I was thinking about AK's ideas on bit rate as a possible cause to the mp3 issue with squeezelite so I did some tests with files of different bit rates.

320 kbps CBR - Worked OK !!!!!
256 CBR - Worked OK !!!!
160 CBR - Failed. Squeezelite crashed immediately
178 VBR - Failed. Note the VBR..

With just this very small sample size it seems like Squeezelite has trouble with the lower bit rates..Not sure what this means but it is further characterisation. The details of the files are below for reference.

Tim/CoachArnold - are you in a position to see if you see similar behaviour ?
