Wavfix doesn't fix the whole file

[ryeethere]

When running the program, wavfix only fixes a percentage of the file. For example, a 55 minute wav file (951.1 MB) only fixes 2:29 of it (also 951.1 MB) with the rest still lost.

Thank you for reporting back. Can you share wavfix output ?

Here is what I see:

Your file structure seems quite weird, maybe that's a bug or maybe it is a new recording error I haven't implemented yet. Can you send me your file so I can work on it ? I know it's quite big, but I wont be able to help otherwise.

@agfline output below for a failure - WAV file is able to open and has time, but inside hex editor shows massive chunks of 00s in data making me believe the audio is unrecoverable. any thoughts?

Re-ran the process with a different version of same file which I believe was the original (un-edited HEX) - still errors and fails but slightly different outcome
