Current Behavior

navidrome version:

deluan/navidrome                                                              latest    589cdcd5bc90   7 months ago    153MB

started with docker compose

version: "3"
services:
  navidrome:
    image: deluan/navidrome:latest
    user: 1000:1000 # should be owner of volumes
    ports:
      - "4533:4533"

Problem:

Most song works fine,but some song stuck there, mostly wma file, could not find any error in server log while this happen, looks like a client issue, for a working flow, after rest/stream call there should be a api/song/ call, but for the stuck one, there is no api/song/xxx call.

Expected Behavior

song should not stuck, a better way would be even if a song is stuck, skip it play next song, otherwise the playlist is useless.

Found this note: "Transcoding can be required in some situations. For example: trying to play a WMA file in a webbrowser, will only work for natively supported formats by the browser you are using. (so playing that with Mozilla Firefox on Linux, will not work. Mozilla even have their own guide about audio codecs)."

If it's not possible to get it played on linux client, maybe it's possible auto skip the file in the playlist?

Since wma isnt supported by browsers, you need to either:

• use a client that supports wma (F.e. Sonixd/feishin)
• enable transcoding for the webui Client
• wait until navidrome can detect which Formats are playable by a client #2051
• convert wma files to something universal supported (not very desireable I agree)

[aaronsuns]

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation, transcoding works very well, but it does transcode all files, it should really be able to choose what format to transcode, such as for wav and flac I want to keep the original one, only transcode wma.

[metalheim]

Yeah, i agree that it would be better if you didn't have to transcode "all or nothing" . That's whats discussed in issues #351 and #2051
