mplayer song length limit
 
(Raspberry Pi Model B)
I have a really long audio file I'd like to play.
It's 10 hours long (white noise)

However, when playing it with mplayer it only gets to 4 hours before determining it's now end of file.

Code:
A:14360.8 ( 3:59:20.8) of 36080.8 (10:01:20.7)  7.2


Exiting... (End of file)
I know the audio file isn't corrupted past this point since I can fast-forward to 3:59:00:0 and let it play and it works fine (at least for the 2m I let it play)

I could in theory break up the file into 3.5 chunks to stay below the limit but I'm wondering if this is a inherent limitation of mplayer (didn't expect 4hr+) or if it's a bug.

Sounds like a mplayer feature. Perhaps a 32 bit counter is overflowing?

Try the mplayer mailing list.

What type of file it is? What format?

Miati 03-05-2015 11:15 PM
It's an audio file ogg format (vorbis)

Did you tried ogg123?

And yea mplayer has very nice ui.

Indeed --ignorelength allows the processing of large files.

(The debian stable vorbis-tools package did not have a new enough
oggenc in it. Proper installation of the sources was not
straightforward, in that I could not generate a package using the
debian/rules coming with vorbis-tools.)
