Unable to play audio CDs

[BeOSR]

After mounting audio CD's, these are not recognised by any audio app and MediaPlayer is unable to play them (stops after a second or two)

I'm afraid there is not enough information in this ticket. What errors do you get? Start MediaPlayer from Terminal and see what it outputs there.

Can you play it in ffplay? pkgman install cmd:ffplay

Output from ffplay

[BeOSR]

It's very weird: I tried several apps, and the results vary wildly: ffplay: works without a hitch. MediaPlayer: zilch, doesn't work at all. Audacious: reads something, but is completely hacked up, as if every frame is read and rendered a dozen times before going to the next frame and doing the same. Fre:ac: works fine, apart from getting track info from internet. QMMP: doesn't work at all, same as MediaPlayer, but completely crashes the app (Shift-Ctrl-Alt click required to kill it). Clementine: doesn't play, buffers during 4-5 seconds, then advances 1 second and buffers during 4-5 seconds again before advancing another second and so on.

Maybe the issue is some Linux library, but that wouldn't explain MediaPlayer, right?

Attached is the output I got from ffplay.

It appears cddafs does not use the file cache at all. That might explain some of the stranger behavior here.

Issue still persist in case Audio CD playing.

Mediaplayer plays the tracks, but no sound output at all, however it does not muted, and Mediaplayer appears in Mixer.Main amp is also not muted.

CDPlayer just runs through all tracks when play button clicked. When reaches last track - disappear all and empty its display. Only pause enlights and that's all.

VLC ?? It used to be play anything on windows and Linux as it has codecs, devices in libraries .. at least on Windows, Linux distros it worked for me. Here, on Haiku it is a bit tricky, as does not handle well Haiku devices. It cannot interpret both the mount point directory, or the scsi device in the df command output. VLC cannot play this MRL error messages comes at trying playing as Audio CD - when opens as optical device. Both the mount point or the mounted scsi raw device. I do not know vlc how could use the cddafs to read the disc.

QMMP was a huge disappoinment, could not handle to play tracks in the /Audio CD directory from desktop icon - adding as a directory.. It had crashed when I clicked on first track in the playlist of the Audio CD

thread 2989: Qmmp (main)

state: Exception (General protection fault)

Clementine - does nothing when clicking on Audio CD reading feature under Devices, but gives an error message as CD drive cannot be read.

Strawberry is similar - it reports 'Unable to open CDIO device.' It is strande, as libcdio and libcdio_paranoia is installed an is the newest version.

Would strawberry need an alternate version of this library to get device with CDIO ?

QMPlay2 does nothing with optical media.

Cantata,SkyMPC only for networked stuff, Audio CD is locally attached device. , OpenCubicPlayer list tracks in the mounted directory, I accepted that I can navigate only with keyboard, but unfortunately no sound after I hit enter on first track. ... and after a while it stops reading the CD. I closed this terminal-like program finally.

I tried out ffplay, that works, but a bit unconvenient to play all tracks with it.

Finally I tried out a media converter program - assuming as ffplay works, it might use ffmpeg and will play them as well from a list.

It is freac : that can read in the tracks, it have control buttons to play/pause/stop/skip forward and back tracks.

Well, I assumed in Beta4 I can play Audio CD, Video DVD with a media player -- native or ported -

DVD Video seems work vith VLC using - at least a drag'n'drop of the icon. Open still opens the drive as a data DVD, showing the directories, not launching the play. I can live with it.

Audio CD still can't playable just as is.

Could you fix it, please ?
