problem with DSP:/dev/audio and Schuffling...>

[Scoobsky]

Hi everyone,

Newbie to DJ'ing on the net and I'm having a problem configuring sc_trans_linux.
I'm on Fedora Core 2.

I've got my playlist.. and I can successfully send my show to my broadcast server but I have a problem when switching from DSP:/dev/audio back to the next mp3.

that's what my test playlist look like:
/23092004/Fun_Loving_Criminals-Scooby_Snacks.mp3
/23092004/Fun_Loving_Criminals-Scooby_Snacks.mp3
DSP:/dev/audio
/23092004/RATM-Renagades_of_Funk.mp3
DSP:/dev/audio
/23092004/Manu_Chao-Je_ne_taime_plus.mp3

it plays the first tune ok... then give me a line so I can talk, but when I kill -WINCH {ProcessID}, instead on moving on to the next MP3, it just gives me another line recording.
Output from sc_trans:
<09/23/04@22:10:40> [DECODE] Opened Fun_Loving_Criminals-Scooby_Snacks.mp3
<09/23/04@22:10:41> [MAIN] Title Updated
<09/23/04@22:11:37> [MAIN] SIGWINCH; Next Song
<09/23/04@22:11:37> [DECODE] DSP (/dev/audio) opened (16,2,44100)
<09/23/04@22:11:42> [MAIN] SIGWINCH; Next Song
<09/23/04@22:11:42> [DECODE] DSP (/dev/audio) opened (16,2,44100)

As you can see... it opens up the mp3, then goes to line recording just fine, but when I finish talking and send the WINCH signal, although it says SIGWINCH Next song, it just opens up /dev/audio again :-(

now... I found something interesting... it only does that if I set Shuffle to 0 in my sc_trans.conf file. if I set it to 1, then if does play a mp3 fine after /dev/audio... the problem is that it opens up any mp3 and does not follow the order in the playlist (which is no good to me).

here's my sc_trans.conf file:
PlaylistFile=SDR23092004.lst

; ServerIP/ServerPort are the target server to send to
ServerIP=MyIP
ServerPort=xxxx

; Password is the password on the sc_serv you're sending to.

; stream info.

; Logfile optionally denotes a text file to log sc_trans to. a kill -HUP
; will force a close and re-open of this file (but will also cease logging to
; the console)
LogFile=sc_trans.log

; Shuffle the playlist
Shuffle=0

; Bitrate/SampleRate/Channels recommended values:

UseID3=0

Hope someone can help.. I have my first show next week and need to make it working :-)
THanks in advance for all your help.

Hi,
Just an idea : assuming that the first line in the playlist was never played (it's a bug) can you try to add two mp3s after a DSP:/dev/audio in the playlist.
My idea is perhaps that the problem is caused after the WINCH because it acts as if it was reading the playlist again. Just an idea, not sure.
