Issue playing FLAC files

Loving the new VLC guys, really great job.
I have come across an issue on Madonna's new album, MDNA in FLAC format.
On track 1 at 1 min 33secs it skips, I have tested with Nero Kwik Media, WMP and MPC and its does not skip with any of them.

Any ideas?

What is your OS ? What is your VLC version ?

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of a problematic file to either http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ or to MirrorCreator.com or to EmbedUpload.com, so it will upload the file for you to several other hosts, and then post the link to the file here.

OS in W764bit Ultimate

VLC Version - VLC media player 2.0.1 Twoflower

I have set it to Verbosity to 2 but nothing appears in the note pad file

I ran it through nero waveEditor to send you the FLAC clip but once put through that the error disappears

The only way to send it to you would be untouched for you to duplicate the error, its 26mb

Also on the upload page it says Track ticket, what do I put in there?

26MB is not an issue.

Yes, I can reproduce the issue at 1'33:

Code: Select all

flac warning: the decoder was aborted by the read callback. flac warning: an error in the stream caused the decoder to lose synchronization. main warning: buffer way too early (-160078), clearing queue main warning: timing screwed, stopping resampling main debug: audio output is starving (-318161), playing silence
Changing the number of threads and/or the SRC algorithm has no effect. And this does not occur with any other combination of player and decoder I've tried, including MPlayer and FFplay.
It also does not occur with VLC v1.1.11 so it seems to be a regression.

You should create a ticket on the VLC Trac with the messages log and the name of the problematic file you have uploaded.

I also have problem of NOT playing FLAC files on version 2.05: "Play" button even not press-able! Log on verbose level 2 is empty.

How to solve this issue?

"Play" button even not press-able!
Reset the preferences.

No, it appears the problem is not VLC.
Got error code 0:FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_LOST_SYNC

Weird, because not only me downloaded the file from tracker. But all others play it without any prob.
