[solved] Music playback hangs (3 Viewers)

[ajs]

Try turning off settings one at a time:

• Gapless playback
• Fade in / Fade out
• Replay gain

I can’t find it, but it seems to me which of these settings is not supported normally in WASAPI mode.

With the following steps I can reproduce the issue:
1. Enable WASAPI
2. Add the previously attached track and another track to the playlist and play it
3. Wait for the first track to end

That worked ok for me too, see attached screenshot, at the end of the first track the Bon Jovi track played to end.

Yes that is interesting.. If Fade in / Fade out is enabled and you then set Gapless playback, the Fade in / Fade out is disabled automatically (like it is either or) but it is then possible to re-enable Fade in / Fade out so not sure.

Please put the Jefferson song at the second position.
In my case Bon Jovi track hangs and the second track is not played.

The issue happens if Gapless playback is enabled in WASAPI mode and only with some tracks.
I will leave this setting disabled and keep on testing.

Confirm that is the same for me with the Bon Jovi track the 1st play.

In this case it makes sense to disable and grey out the Gapless playback option when WASAPI mode is selected.

Who can schedule this change?

[MP1-5000] Disable gapless playback when WASAPI is enabled - MediaPortal Jira nice number

Now I had the same error with another audio file (see attached file), although all mixing options were disabled:

Although Fade-in / Fade-out is disabled, MediaPortal fades in and fades out when I skip to the next track.

It looks like MediaPortal ignores the setting:
<entry name="crossfade">4003</entry>
<entry name="buffering">10</entry>
<entry name="useSkipSteps">no</entry>
<entry name="fadeOnStartStop">no</entry>
<entry name="gaplessPlayback">no</entry>
<entry name="enableReplayGain">no</entry>
<entry name="enableAlbumReplayGain">no</entry>
<entry name="streamOutputLevel">80</entry>

<entry name="upMixFiveDotOne">0</entry>
<entry name="enableResume">no</entry>
<entry name="resumeAfter">10</entry>
<entry name="resumeSelect">
</entry>

Setting Buffering to low or max levels doesn't help.

If I set the Cross-fading value to 0 there's no fading on track skip but the error remains nevertheless.

The "Fade-in on start / fade-out on stop" option takes no effect at all, also in normal BASS mode. Regardless if enabled or disabled, the volume always fades in at start but never fades out on stop.

"GCHandle of Musicstream not found in Dictionary -2147483346 The key was not specified in the directory." What does that mean? What's GCHandle?

I still have the suspicion that there's a dependency between WASAPI mode, the Fade-in/out option and/or the cross-fading option.
Can we do a test and completely disable these options in the code?
