Win/Linux: Corrupt OGG starts to import then quits instead of reporting sequence number gap
Last modified: 2019-05-29 09:22:29 UTC
The bug was initial reported in Launchpad [1] and confirmed by me. Here's the description from the reporter: I can not open a certain ogg file with audacity. When I try to open the file it displays the import dialog but closes it after some progress. Same happens if I try to import it. It does not show me any error message. The file plays fine with any audio player i tried so far. I can also open different ogg files with audacity. The file was recorded with gnome-sound-recorder (ubuntu default) in the ogg-format. I tried with audacity 2.0 and Audacity 2.0.3-alpha-Oct 7 2012. Same result. The file is 72 MB at about 80 min. Information about the file Vorbis Audio Stereo, 44100Hz, 160kb/s The file is attached to the second comment in the Launchpad bug [1]. [1] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1063298
IMPORTANCE changed to P5, Repeatable. Confirmed on Windows 7 but the file is corrupt. oggdec.exe crashes trying to play it, hence probably why the import aborts. oggenc.exe reports: New logical stream (#1, serial: 3d051edb): type vorbis S Vorbis headers parsed for stream 1, information follows... Version: 0 Vendor: Xiph.Org libVorbis I 20101101 (Schaufenugget) Channels: 2 Rate: 44100 Nominal bitrate: 160.000000 kb/s Upper bitrate not set Lower bitrate not set Warning: sequence number gap in stream 1. Got page 1247 when expecting page 1246 . Indicates missing data. Warning: discontinuity in stream (1) [repeats until...] Warning: discontinuity in stream (1) Warning: EOS not set on stream 1 Vorbis stream 1: Total data length: 72668428 bytes Playback length: 79m:50.160s Average bitrate: 121.362821 kb/s I suggest user installs FFmpeg, then in Audacity does File > Open or File > Import, and selects the "FFmpeg-compatible files" filter. The file will then import using FFmpeg providing user has not unchecked "Attempt to use filter in OpenFile dialog first" in Extended Import Preferences.
I downloaded the ogg test file from the link provided in Benjamin's comment #0 Testing on W10 with audacity-2.3.3-alpha-252-88dc11f525215cea57f7a89b0038fc7d40a50149 This formerly problematic ogg file I can now import properly into Audacity with drag&drop and File>Import. I can also File>Open the test ogg file. So there no longer appears to be a problem on Windows with is particular ogg file. This should also be tested on Linux before closing this old bug
On Linux, the file https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacity/+bug/1063298/+attachment/3383394/+files/H.ogg imports correctly, and error messages are correctly logged in the Audacity log (as shown below). Closing this bug as fixed.
