Stream periodically stops at client after track ends

[klen-list]

This happens randomly between different tracks. After reloading page stream continues.
I see the same problem when using BASS: http://www.bass.radio42.com/help/html/322b7ddc-a9f5-21eb-c78a-f5937cd0d2f2.htm

Failed to decode media resource http://localhost:8000/stream. x27 [stream]
Failed to decode media resource http://localhost:8000/stream, error: Error Code: NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_DECODE_ERR (0x806e0004)
Details: virtual mozilla::MediaResult __cdecl mozilla::FFmpegAudioDecoder<46465650>::DoDecode(mozilla::MediaRawData *, uint8_t *, int, bool *, mozilla::MediaDataDecoder::DecodedData &): FFmpeg audio error:-1094995529

Sometimes after page load the stream gives out the full length of the track instead of a per-second download:

And stops stream after finishing with the above error.

I even tried to export all the tracks to the same bitrate, but it didn't help.

const { PUBLIC_EVENTS, SHUFFLE_METHODS, Station } = require("@fridgefm/radio-core")
const http = require("http")

const station = new Station()
station.addFolder("./stream")

const reqListener = (req, res) => station.connectListener(req, res)
const radio = http.createServer(reqListener)

station.reorderPlaylist(SHUFFLE_METHODS.randomShuffle())

station.on(PUBLIC_EVENTS.NEXT_TRACK, async (track) => {
    const result = await track.getMetaAsync()
    console.log(result.title)
})

station.start()
radio.listen(8000)

It doesn't seem to be happening with your radio in the example. Maybe I'm setting something up wrong?

Hey, what are the contents of the stream folder? I assume there might be some issue considering synchronous folder walking

[klen-list]

stream folder just contains bunch of .mp3 files without any subfolders

[ch1ller0]

Could you try to use another folder with just 2-3 mp3 files in it and see if the problem reproduces? And also, are there any helpful logs from the server/client? And also, which version are you using? I had similar issue but it was fixed in #34

this is happening to apple devices listening to my streams too.

Wondering if this issue still exists, I'm too writing my own radio but in Go. I'm using ffmpeg for doing most of the heavy lifting like encoding, removing metadata (like idv3 tags etc). Occasionally, my client (<audio> tag) also disconnects while listening. It mostly occurs when the server is changing songs (like for example one song has ended and its trying to load the next song). @ch1ller0 did you encounter such issues after the idv3 removal fix? Let me know. Thanks.

A hacky solution that I use is reconnect to stream when error occurs.

// audio -> audio element
audio.onerror = function (err) {
    console.error(err)

    audio.setAttribute('src', '/stream')
    audio.play().catch(console.error)
}
