Gstreamer mp3 playback broken

When I tried to play some mp3's today via Clementine, gstreamer gave me "data flow error"(everything worked yesterday,lol) , and then, when I reinstalled all possible gstreamer plugins(except "ugly") mp3 playback didn't change at all, some mp3 files were played but with (:03, :06, :09 second speed) like it is jumping, no sound of course. Does anybody know how to fix it, and why is this happening?

[root@celestary wengophone-ng-svn]# pacman -Qs MP3
local/lame 3.97-1
An MP3 encoder and graphical frame analyzer
local/mpg321 0.2.10-2
A commandline mp3 player
local/python-eyed3 0.6.12-1
A Python module and program for processing information about mp3 files
local/ripperx 2.7.0-1
GTK program to rip and encode mp3 files
Here it works perfectly. libmad and lame should be sufficient.

Mp3s playback broken in newest flash player

Hi
I've been developing flash sites for many years. Many of them
are dynamic.
Recently since upgrading the Flash Player (9,0,115,0
installed) in my Firefox browser, a flash site I've built for my
university work has broken. But the same site works fine in IE with
Version 9,0,60,235 installed.
Mp3s that are loaded dynamically from a separate folder do
not play. They worked fine before christmas, they played fine; the
swf has not changed; the files have not moved; the code is the
same. They simply do not play.
Have there been changes to the flash player security that
would disable playing mp3s that exist on the same server?
Do I now need a crossdomain file for my own mp3s on my own
server?
I feel strongly that Adobe must begin to respect and ensure
backward compatibility or risk losing its customers. I will have no
interest in developing in Flash if my sites could all suddenly
collapse. (Another example of dead flash files due to change in
code:

All help appreciated, David
The broken-audio site is :
http://www.year01.com/jhave/Concordia_phd/HUMA888/

Hi Tiago,
Very basic setup.
Since I want the capability of using the page locally (not
always on a server with php) I generate a list of mps and write
that to a txt file using php once.
Then each time page loads, read in the mp3s.txt file and
assign a property "mp3" to a button-movieclip, then use a hitarea
rectangle mc within that button-mc to call on the first press of
the rect button :
this._parent.son.loadSound("mp3s/"+this._parent.mp3, true);
Since the buttons appear, i know the txt file is being read
correctly....
Since the sound plays in IE browser with the other version of
player i know the basic setup is correct.
all suggestions welcome,
david

MP3 Playback

I'm having issues trying to get MP3 playback capability on my Arch x86 - Xfce4 install. I have all of the gstreamer plugins installed and my sound card is configured properly (I can listen to audio in swiftfox), but Banshee Audacious and Totem will not play MP3 files. Has anyone seen a situation like mine? I have not found one after taking some time to search these forums. Thanks in advanced for any help.

Rhythmbox -- which package needs to be installed for mp3 playback

Hello,
A quick question here:
Which package needs to be installed for mp3 playback in Rhythmbox?

Player 10 - Slow and Distorted MP3 Playback.

I began experiencing this problem once I download Flash
Player 10. The mp3 playback is slow and sounds very distorted.
This only seems to occur with mp3s at a 48k sample rate. Mp3s
at a sample rate of 44.1k sound normal. Is there a way to fix this
without converting the sample rate? Is Adobe working on a solution?
Thank you.

I'm getting the same thing. Are all of you on Apple platform? It seems to be the only place this is showing up.
Macbook Pro - OSX 10.5.6
When I uninstall flash player and reinstall 9 it works fine. On another not when using CS4 at work the same thing happens locally when I test the movies.
It's sounds like music on nitrous in hell. .. . .

E55 - improve sound on mp3 playback?

mp3 playback on my E55 is dissappointing; you need to add Bass enhancement just to get a flat frequency response and the music lacks detail even on simplet tracks.
I know it's not a dedicated mp3 player/'comes with music'/Walkman phone but how can I improve music playback?
- Is eACC format easier on the processor?
- Is there a 3rd party mp3/ACC player for E55 that sounds better?

I should have explained;
- Yes, I'm using same pair of headphones to compare same tracks played back on E55 and laptop. Laptop is satisfactory and I'm used to what it 'sounds' like, E55 mp3 player is poor.
- Source is mp3 so ACC/eACC would require an additional conversion (rather than ripping CDs to ACC in the first place).
Seperate headphone amp is nice idea, but my sound quality expectations aren't quite that high for a phone. Would only bother with headphone amp for CD line output or similar cheers.
Further testing;
- Internet Radio on E55 is quite acceptable and dosn't need any bass re-infocement. I conclude the problem is with the mp3 playing software on E55 or the source mp3 - not the S60 OS or E55 hardware.
- Playing further albums on proved that BOTH the laptop and E55 did justice other mp3 and WMAs including Opera, Rock and Dance.
Conclusion: "The Haçienda - Acid House Classics" mp3 album is a bit quite and not a great source. But the E55 still needs bass turned on for the music player (but not Internet Radio!) so could be solved with a software update.
Other sources sound as good as you could expect on the E55: rubbish in ribbish out.
Now to see if converting from mp3/WMA to ACC/eACC can actually improve the sound. I used to think it impossible to improve a signal with additional processing, but my Sony Hard Disk TV Recorder actually plays back better than the original(!) so maybe converting to ACC will to.

Stop Streaming MP3 Playback

Is there an action script to stop the streaming mp3 playback
in a proceeding frame navigated to?

SM6601,

If that sound is initiated by ActionScript (e.g. an instance
of the
Sound class), the Sound.stop() method will do it. If not, you
can always
try the stopAllSounds() function.

Palm Pre - MP3 Playback skips

Haven't had any troubles with mp3 playback on my Palm Pre until yesterday. Every song I listen to skips intermittently.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I only had 2 or 3 other cards open at the time of the malfunction (gps, email, phone, and music player). Would that be enough to cause this? I understand that memory is memory, but since multitasking is the cornerstone of the device's design philosophy I think it's fair to expect 4 or so apps to all work at the same time.
That said, I usually have something closer to 8 apps open, and that has never affected my listening experience.

Instantaneous MP3 playback...

MP3 playback used to begin immediately even with very large files, but no longer does. What am I missing? It seems there may be some type of "helper" file for other browsers (read Safari, Chrome & Opera) that isn't being taken advantage of to facilitate this "starting play before the download is complete" type of thing...

The playback time would vary based on any number of factors:
Temperature, volume, other operations, how long the screen is on, how many times you change the volume, eq settings, if airplane mode is on or off, any calls, e-mails, push on or push off, how often to fetch mail, screen brightness, 3g on or off, wi-fi on or off, location service on or off,etc.
The 24 hours is based on a specific situation and is not likely to be reproduced with normal use.
Just use it and see what you get.

Mp3 playback battery life /w headphones

Does anyone know if the mp3 playback time changes if your using a set of headphones, or is the 24 hours assuming you are using headphones?

MP3 playback cutouts, Firefox plug-in

I've got Firefox 3.5, with QuickTime selected as the MP3 playback plugin. When I click on an MP3 link targeted at a dedicated browser window, Quicktime comes up to play it back. Unless I keep that window in the foreground, and keep sending it events (e.g., hovering the mouse cursor over it and moving it around), the playback audio cuts out. Quicktime's progress indicator proceeds, but there's no audio unless I move the cursor over the window again.
This happens on TWO different machines (including a MacBook Pro with Windows XP under BootCamp, and a Dell Inspiron 530 with Windows Vista).
Is this a known bug? Are there any solutions other than installing an MP3 playback plugin other than Quicktime?

So, after 2 weeks without any response, how do I report this as a bug, and somehow get Apple to look into this?

Is Voice Playback broken in AIR?

Hi All,
As I reported previously (here) it appears that voice playback is broken in AIR, i.e. voices with certain frequency profiles are played back with a distinct and unpleasant ringing noise added to them.
I've created this bug, and included a 'simplest case demo' that clearly shows the problem:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=selectBug&CFGRIDKEY=3651790
The bug's status has been "ToTest" with a reason of "NeedMoreInfo" since mid-October. The demo that I included should make this issue quite easy to test and confirm, and I've replied to the one question that Adobe staff asked, so it's unclear whether "NeedMoreInfo" is accurate.
Perhaps Adobe has other priorities, and doesn't consider voice playback to be essential to a framework focused on games, but audio playback seems like pretty basic functionality to me. I'm concerned that it has somehow fallen off of Adobe's radar.
On the other hand, I'm also concerned that I may simply be doing something incorrectly in my code. Might someone on this list might be willing to take a look at the demo project attached to the above bug (demo is here) and either confirm the problem or tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Note that the audio file contained in the demo is the worst example that I've found, i.e. the voice's frequency profile causes significant ringing when played in AIR. If you listen to the MP3 file that is included in the project directly, i.e. without AIR, you won't hear the ringing.
Help?
Douglas

Bo - Thanks.
Justin - Thanks for the thought - and your theory makes sense, but I'm not using the flash library, so that's not the cause in this case.
I use Flash Builder rather than Flash Pro, and I can recreate this bug in two ways:
In my language learning app, I load an MP3 file that I've saved to the device's file system. (If I navigate to the same file and use standard Android mechanisms to play the file, it sounds fine.)
In the sample app that I attached to the bug I've filed, I compile the file into the app, then play it with the code shown below. (I use similar code in my language learning app, but I've distilled the code in the sample app into a "simplest case" example.)

2.0.1 video playback BROKEN!!!

after upgraded to 2.0.1, video playback is broken! there is no video but audio is coming through. This apply to online video playback as well like youtube. anyone facing the same problem? How can i restore to 2.0?
wan

Just completed my update to 2.01 and my movies and youtube play fine. Not sure how to go back to 2.0. When you go into iTunes there is a restore button that you might try. Don't know if you can select to reinstall 2.01.
Good Luck

Has anyone experienced this? Slow MP3 playback in Flash player

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced the issue I'm having...
Some of the mp3s that I'm pulling into my Flash/XML audio player, of songs created in Garageband, are playing at a slower pitch.
Because It only happens to some MP3s it makes me think that it's not Flash but something to do with the MP3. The one thing they all have in common is that they were all songs that were created in Garageband, then exported to iTunes as an AIF and then converted to MP3. I have yet to experience a problem with songs that I've downloaded or ripped from CDs.
Here's the link to the player and two songs. Both songs were done in Garageband and converted to MP3 the exact same way, yet while the first songs plays fine, the second plays back much slower that it's source.
http://www.theheavycoats.com/music/newstuff/testaudio.htm
Below are the direct links to the MP3s so you can see that the source MP3 plays fine on its own.
http://www.theheavycoats.com/music/newstuff/answeredprayers_new.mp3

I've also posted on Adobe's forum. What do you guys think?
Thanks.

Sorry for misleading information.
The first song indeed plays fine and the second Does Not. I
was checking the first one
all the way.
Anyhow, I still keep up with my Sample Rate suggestion.
Flash has preference when comes to sound:
best to use 16-bit 22 kHz mono sounds (stereo uses twice as
much data as mono),
Flash can import either 8- or 16-bit sounds at sample rates
of 11, 22, or 44 kHz.
Other samples rates result in playback problems.
The first Mp3 is 44Khz just as flash likes it, the second one
is 48Khz
I believe changing it to 44 will solve your problem. Try it
please and let me know.
Best Regards

Are there any known problems with Macs and the mp3 playback in Adobe Connect ?

One user using an Apple Mac has complained of not being able to hear the mp3 sound playback in a meeting.
Is this a problem with Apple Mac and mp3 compatibility or is it an individual soundcard issue ?

I use several Macs with Adobe Connect and I have even created MP3 files for playback in the room. Works fine on all my macs. It's basic Flash. Suggest they clear their browser cache, replace their host-add-in if using one. Run the audio wizard as well to make sure sound is working in Connect.
All of the Adobe Connect Government engineers use Macs all the time so we've never had an issue with MP3's.
