sc_trans xfade strange behaviour with <APIC>?

[helios399]

HI ALL,

I have a problem with the xfade parameter in configuration file of sc_trans
Some files don't fade in/out...

sc_trans.conf
xfade=5
xfadethreshold=30

After many tests I noticed that the cover art include the ID3V2 ( <APIC> tag) causes a strange behaviour of crossfading.

Debug sc_trans

When I remove the <APIC> tag, the fade in/out is functionnal again.
and errors E (debug) messages disappear

Is this the normal behaviour of sc_trans ?

Thanks

it's not the normal behaviour with the current version of sc_trans (as i'm guessing you're using build 39 or 40 as the <APIC> tag in the metadata was changed to be done differently with build 48 to prevent such issues (though still needs to be finished off to relay it correctly for sources).

only thing is that AAC DJ support and absolute playlist handling on non-Windows versions of the current sc_trans doesn't work (if you give that ago).

You're right I use drop 40
I did'nt see the 2.48 release of sc_trans, great news

Many thanks

Have a nice day
