Time remaining WAY too large

This is a request for help with winamp. I am sure the problem is not with eJ so it is not in the bug forum. I asked once a long time ago and no one had any ideas. I still have the problem.

I let the time count down to zero so we know when the next song is coming. On some songs (small amount), the time will jump up to 50 + minutes and continue to count down from there. Somewhere near the 50 minute mark the song ends and a new ones starts and the time remaining is ok. If I am going to get the "eJ gets stuck on one song thing", it happens more often here. Anyone see this problem? Is it just me?


To continue on from Dyno Dons original post which I was also getting in Winamp - I have just realised I am getting in eJukebox. If I leave the jukebox playing for a considerable amount of time (well overnight) then the "current time" is on "406:16" (or other large amount) and counting and "remaining time" is stuck on "400 : "(not showing seconds) in Winamp it shows the same. Added to this eJukebox doesnt show the tracking (the thing that shows the position in the song).

Nothing major but curious nonetheless

Any ideas?

Winamp 2.91
eJukebox 3.4

ochristmas,

It is/was different. It always jumped to between 55 and 59 minutes and counted down from there, hanging the song after, (last one in queue in winamp). winamps time remaining at the same time was zero and stayed there, even as the song played. Visualizations stopped too. Mine was definatly caused by Sqrsoft crossfader.

Where these files VBR by any chance? You know that there are 2 VBR headers in a MP3 file and it could theoretically be that one of them got slightly damaged. This could result in the behavio(u)r you are describing here.

In my case no. That was suggested before, but it is not always the same song. Or songs from the same album (rip) don't have problems. After disabling sqrsoft crossfader it stopped. ochristmas' may be a vbr problem tho.
