v2.1.43 b486 no Auto Determine Cue points?

[Vincent Volmer]

Hello Torben,

I installed the latest version and snap (v2.1.43 b486) and the auto determine cue points isn't working, or am I missing a 'new' setting? All software is clean installed on this comp.

On a other computer mAirList crashed (computer reboots) when I try to PFL a track from the playlist (v2.1.43 b484)..... with no error report (oke, on this case I don't trust this computer).

  Vincent.

Hm, no problem here on my machine. Can anybody confirm this.

Does auto cue work when you hold Shift while clicking SET in the PFL dialog?

Hello!

Yes it does.

How do you import the files? By drag & drop from the browser into the playlist? If so, what kind of browser?

I'm importing the hourly playlist with the 'load next hour' script.

Ohw..... I think, only the first track of the imported playlist is correct (don't know for sure because I'm not in front of the system now).

Sorry, didn't try drag & drop

What the format of the playlist? M3U?

  Next time I'll give you all the information

Yes it is M3U

Hmmmm I also have inserted an command (start recording). Maybe that created the error?

[Torben]

Can you please try whether it works with drag&drop and compare the behavior?

1. Drag a single file into the playlist and see if it gets auto-cued.

2. Create an M3U playlist with only this file and load this playlist.

3. Create another M3U playlist with the some more files added before that file.

I'll look for it this evening (~20:00uhr)

Insert/xx.mp3   No auto-cue settings

2. Create an M3U playlist with only this file and load this playlist.

Saved the above as test.m3u
Load/test.m3u  No auto-cue settings

3. Create another M3U playlist with the some more files added before that file.

Saved the above as test_2.m3u
Load/test_2.m3u  No auto-cue settings


From config/mAirList.ini

Code: [Select]

[FileImport]
AutoCueIn=on
AutoFadeOut=on
AutoCueOut=on
ImportComment=on
ImportTags=on
MP2OutroAsFadeOut=off
TildeAsStartNext=off
TildeAsOutro=off
TildeAsFadeOut=off
StripWhitespace=off


At least I downgraded to 2.1.42 b461 and all is working fine...... also the last build of 2.1.42 was ok  Don't have that one now.

Vincent,

The [FileImport] section is literally only half the story.  Do you have a [General] section in your mairlist.ini—probably the first section in the file?  Mine looks like this:

Code: [Select]

[General]
PlaylistCount=2
Locale=
CueInThreshold=-207.94
FadeOutThreshold=-35.00
CueOutThreshold=-207.94

If those (dB) Threshold values are not set, mAirList will not automatically set the cue points.  (Incidentally, which values do other people use for these?  I find that the ones above work very well!)

I am using v2.1.43 b486 here and the automatic cue points work AOK.  During the time a file is being auto-cued, you should (briefly!) see a small dialog box centred on the main mAirList window, with a title bar which reads Preparing file ….

I hope this helps you solve your problem.

Hello CAD,
These settings are present in the mAirList.ini :

Code: [Select]

[General]
PlaylistCount=2
Locale=nl
CueInThreshold=-207,94
FadeOutThreshold=-12,00
CueOutThreshold=-207,94

It's very strange that it works ok with version 2.1.42 b***  and not with 2.1.43 b484

And I don't see a "Preparing file dialog box" (it is only a small playlist).


Vincent.

[Charlie]

You've got commas instead of full-stops in the dB settings

Umm … that is normal in European mainland countries, and because locale=nl (Goedemiddag, Vincent! ) I expect that Vincent's Windows Regional Settings (Nederlands? ) specify , as the decimal separator and . as the 'thousands' separator—the exact opposite of the standard for USA and UK.  So to sum up, Charlie, that is a red herring.

The non-appearance of the 'Preparing file …' dialog is more puzzling, because here, that dialog appears for every file dragged from Windows Explorer (or a mAirList Browser Directory pane) and dropped on to the Playlist!  It doesn't matter whether or not the file has previously been tagged with cue points: the dialog is (ik denk) informing you that mAirList is trying to load the corresponding MMD file, so the dialog should always be displayed when a file is added to a Playlist.

Vincent: have you tried this with build 486 installed, which is the mAirList.exe currently in the Snapshot download directory?

[later] Oops!  Looks like you have tried this.   I admit I'm stumped by this one.
