sc_serv crashing / stopping on debian 6 without error

[flieshunter]

Hello, I am having problem with my sc_serv process closing itself after some time. Is there anyway to debug why it does that?

Last line of my sc_serv.log was:

code:


2012-08-20 04:02:20     I       msg:[SRC 127.0.0.1:37479 sid=2] Got complete metadata message type=3902 [1671 bytes] id=1 span=1 content=

Transcoder logs:

code:

2012-08-20 04:03:11	W	msg:[UVOX2] 782478178 Error connecting to stream host [waiting 30s]

I had found out that there is a known issue with wrongly formed metadata (from transcoder). Is it because of bad id3 tags?

If so, what should I filter from them? Any special characters cause that?

Or maybe next public release is close and I should just wait?


Thanks for your help.

the DNAS and Transcoder both have issues depending on what is being sent or not as well as the size of the metadata (as an issue was found with sc_tran's handling of large metadata updates which can cause it to drop it's connection to the DNAS).

the only way to debug the issue is to enable _all_ of the debug logging output and then track back from the last lines if that is when things stop.

if you are hitting issue #3 from http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?p=2790357#known then you would be getting a segfault just after the title is noted as happening (what you've posted is not making it clear if that is the case). the characters which generally cause issues are in the extended ascii range from 128 to 159, though for everything to be sorted needs DNAS and Transcoder update (the DNAS update will prevent the crash but it can still act weirdly / drop the Transcoder due to the Transcoder having it's issues).

i'm trying to get a new DNAS release out soon but i cannot say a specific sate as it depends on how long it is going to take to fix the remaining issues which need to be fixed (along with the remaining documentation updates which need to be done). and a Transcoder update is further down the road from that.
