Hi guys,
For some time I have been preparing backing tracks using Ardour 2/3 etc. Mixing down to
mp3 for live performance. We are having reliability problems during playback.
I have tried my netbook (Tosh nb200) my tablet (Samsung 10.1) & an ipad(not to hand,
not mine)
The playback fails at random point (if at at) & will often then replay
satisfactorily. The mp3s are created on a 64bit machine using Ubuntu studio as the base
setup & converted to mp3 in Audacity on the same machine.
I am lead to the belief that it is not the playback machine athough not completely due to
the randomness.
My thoughts are:-
mp3 conversion
mp3.
64bit conversion
Doesn't need to be mp3. flaac would be my choice. it does need to be fast loading
with random access (tablet is ideal). Don't mind spending money.
You don't mention what players are subject to this
stopping.
Since you have all your mp3 material already, why not
try all of the half-dozen mp3 players available?
I've always had good luck with mplayer, but there
is vlc, and even ffmpeg (or avconv as it's being rebranded)
can play mp3 files.
I've always found .wav file playback to be more stable than
mp3, and seeking behavior is better. The processor doesn't have
to do much, at the cost of storing a bit more data (One
hour costs 1 GB, roughly.)
Greetings,
Joel

scanner daemon that could affect any playback or erase any paused
position hold on a player.
But I think that's not your case (or at least your main problem).
Apart from this I'm telling, I don't have issues like that.

Hi Guys,
So far I re-output stereo mixes in .wav format, put them on my Android
tablet & random run them for as long as I can. It seems to be stable
in that form. I'm gradually, as time permits, adding to the list
without problems. What I'm doing is not complicated. it needs to start
on the button & keep going to the end.
I'm hoping it is now cracked.
many thanks,
Steve
