When playing a file, the ogg player cuts out about a second before the end, or, at least, does on my system (Using Firefox 3 and Windows XP). It's particularly noticable on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Charles_Gounod_-_Petite_Symphony,_Opus_216,_Movement_I.ogg Is this general, and can it be fixed? It's a pretty major problem if it's general, less so if it's just some browsers.
Confirmed, test file seems OK.
*** Bug 15614 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The test file consists of 335.9 seconds of music, followed by a 4.3 second chained vorbis stream, presumably added by the encoder to represent the silent gap between tracks on the source CD. Due to a bug, Cortado cuts off the buffered first stream when decoding of the second stream begins. The workaround is to remove the second stream, say by re-encoding.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_video_tutorials_making-of_(high).ogv chokes for me in both Opera 9.63 and 10 preview, but plays correctly in IE 7. Is this the same bug, or unrelated?
Unrelated.
solution is for Wikipedia to upgrade to the new cortado build available at http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/cortado/cortado-ov-stripped-0.5.0.jar Opera 9 and 10 are fine now on Windows and Linux. Overall reproduction is improved for both audio and video in all browswers.
We had upgraded to a version of cortado slightly before the 0.5.0 release. Since then there has been a 0.5.1 release. We should deploy that as it uses compression and is (170K instead of 300K) and has a few other minor bug fixes. It is available either from the xiph site: http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/cortado/cortado-ovt-stripped-0.5.1.jar and or I have copied that release into the OggHandler svn. I am cc'ing Fred with a request for him to deploy the newer version of the applet.
Just tried http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/cortado/cortado_latest.jar and works like a charm. This should solve some problems. Am thinking of some mods to OggPlayer.js to avoid some of the complaints/whining received about having to install plug-ins on IE in particular. IF this new version of Cortado is really solid after all, it might be a reasonable idea to force the applet if the needed plug-ins aren't already installed. Opera 10 on Linux defaults to the applet BEFORE the installed installed plug-ins. Need to think about this one.
The updated cortado was pushed out a while back. I am going to close this bug as it appears people are no longer having trouble.
