mp3 files played by server not working right
Posted: Tue 06 Mar 2018, 21:03
I hope its okay posting this in users/regulars puppy things. As it does fit kinda if one reads to the end.
This is a weird thing- just looking for any helpful feedback:
On my webserver (running puppy/hiawatha) I have a javascript mp3 player which plays a list of songs from a html page - the next song starts automatically when the last one finishes. example: (dont have to check it out) http://helledussen.com/groove/chill.html
But HERE is the problem: Sometimes that does NOT happen. A song will reach its end - and then it just stops. The next one does NOT start. (wtf?)
I researched like hell and wondered if there could be something in the html or js script but there ISNT.
I found the problem to be the .mp3 file itself (!)
To fix this problem I have done this: - and it ALWAYS works:
I copy the original mp3 file to somewhere else and I just edit it a little bit (like using audacity to cut away quiet time at end of song OR amplify everything a bit) - and copy it back - and suddenly the next song IS auto-played...
???
Could the original mp3 file be... damaged in any way?
Could it be the linux file-system (running ext4) be acting up?
Could the harddrive be faulty?
Any feedbacks would be greatly appreciated.
