RPCS3
(NHL 14) Custom cellMusic Only plays once, then LPCM decode failure
Please do not ask for help or report compatibility regressions here, use RPCS3 Discord server or forums instead.
Quick summary
Using a few .mp3s to make custom goal horns in NHL 14, a goal horn (or a menu music song I add) only plays once before all of the custom music fails to play again until I relaunch.

I believe the error occurs at line 65694. it's near the end of the log and i paused the game and quit right after the goal horn failed to play. Thanks megamouse!
Please try again and post another log if it still doesn't work
Hey Megamouse- I updated to the prompted version RPCS3 v0.0.23-13871-4b787b22 Alpha on launch and the same issue. First goal it plays, every goal after no dice. I quit as the second goal was scored, assuming the error is at line 39009.
Did you want me to manually merge the change you made to cellMusicDecode.cpp as opposed to just updating the client on launch? Just let me know. thanks again so much. this is incredible to even get to play this game on PC. RPCS3.log
@Megamouse One thing i just noticed. After the first goal horn plays and I quit the game (but leave the rpcs3 menu up). I can't modify or delete the mp3 file i have in hdd0\music while rpcs3 is open (but only after the goal horn plays once). Maybe this issue is something related to the game reading and locking the mp3 when the goal horn is first called, and doesn't unlock it for the second + time?
Please try again and post another log if it still doesn't work
@Megamouse Let me know if there's anything else I should try or if there's an update on this ticket. thanks!!
The problem is really simple to understand and should be capable of being solved.
I just got a couple questions. When you say custom music do you mean that on an OFW PS3 you'll be able to select your own mp3's to play during these events. Or do you mean that you've modified the game from is original content to use what you want it to use? Does your PS3 like these modifications? Or does your PS3 have the same issues as RPCS3.
@camsterguy try with #12324 Its probably not gonna work but the log will help

Yes! Believe it or not, EA used to allow custom music and sounds. The OFW, real PS3 process for NHL 14 was put an mp3 on a usb, copy it to the music folder on XMB on the Ps3, then in game you can select the song or playlist and assign it to an event (like a goal song for a certain team) in the custom music settings. The game appears to treat additional folders in the hdd0/music directory as playlists, so a folder full of mp3s i called "Generic" inside the overall music folder will show in game during selection as a playlist called "generic" . It works fine on my real ps3. it plays without fail every goal, as well as the generic music in between.
This is pretty much what im trying to accomplish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H-hvpRSHbE&t=198s
i want to use this music pack which also details the setup process https://forums.operationsports.com/forums/ea-sports-nhl-sounds-forum/670769-cycloniacs-nhl-14-music-pack.html
Thanks!
It's a possibility that the issue could be that the emulator grabs a mp3 file and locks it to play it and forgets to unlock it after it's done playing, because even after I close the game I cannot modify the mp3 file that plays once
Thanks I'm hoping custom playlists start working in my games too. I wasn't quite sure if you had modded the game or not. That's an amazing feature for your game to have. If this issue gets resolved I'll test my games again see if I can get them working with custom playlists.
@camsterguy try with #12324 Its probably not gonna work but the log will help
Visual studio is straight up refusing to build for some reason. I'm not sure if you merged it in with the new update (I saw cellmusic stuff in the changelog) so here's the log for that. (v0.0.23-13956-086afbba Alpha)
you can just download the build from the PR. I'm not gonna tell you how to navigate there though xD
Scroll to the bottom of pr page and click Show all checks -> Windows -> View details -> View more details on Cirrus -> Artifacts -> Download the larger file.
Got it! Thank you. I never knew this existed..... LOL
Loading up the game now!
@camsterguy try with #12324 Its probably not gonna work but the log will help
line 81602 i believe (second goal), same issue. worked fine first goal. thanks everyone! RPCS3.log
please try again with the latest build from https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/pull/12324
please try again with the latest build from #12324
i just tried again with a different mp3 file, compressed, same issue- plays only once before all cellmusic interaction dies
Please try again
I'm using the master branch with autoupdate since it seems you merged 12324 into master- same issue (line 48940)
Is there an updated commit you wanted me to try?
Log here: RPCS3.log
Thanks again @Megamouse !!!
What jumps out to me right away, is that it seems to think there's only 1 track in the playlist, from the very beginning:

Of course, now my tracks usually aren't playing at all (with an up-to-date build), and I'm getting:

~~The issue is that the Qt decoder can't play certain files due to some idiotic metadata issues. It's not really our fault, it's some windows thing. You can probably easily play the song on linux.~~
oops, this is using ffmpeg. so no idea why it would fail to decode. probably still garbage files.
Alright, well the decode issue aside, all of the logs in here seem to show a playlist size of 1.
It seems that this whole problem is probably caused by the creation of the playlist. No matter how many (or few) tracks I have in the music folder, the playlist is always 1 track long. I manually added a second one to the file, and set it to read-only, but the emulator just created a new file with 1 track.
Version: 1.0 FileType: Music Playlist ContentType: 1 ContextOption: 1 RepeatMode: 0 FirstTrack: 0 Tracks:
- /dev_hdd0/music/All/Inevitable Struggle.mp3
I have a feeling that if the playlist creation was fixed, the files would play.
The PS3 does not appear to make playlists inside a physical path. You can create Playlists inside of VSH on RPCS3 just fine. But in my tests, I created on my real PS3 and used Webman mod for browsing paths where I just didn't see anything new created. On RPCS3 I created a playlist called ASDFGHI and then used the Everything app to search for this unique Playlist folder name and no results turned up at all. I believe what might need to be done is multiprocessing support anyway cause I don't think the games actually have any media player capabilities independently and they're just asking the PS3 interface to use its media player as apart of the system's firmware not the game.
