Hi danlock,
interesting report... I am quite sure that it's not Lame.exe which is to blame, but that it is something about the latest Alpha versions of LXP which causes the issue. I still use the current stable version 4.15, and because I never liked LoRd_MuldeR's approach to use Alpha versions of some helper tools even in stable LXP versions I regularly replace these tools with stable versions. In this case it was Lame v. 3.100 Alpha which I replaced with v. 3.95 stable. After your post I updated Lame for LXP with the current stable version 3.100 (I used the RareWares download), and it works flawlessly for decoding and encoding. No problems whatsoever, and for me this means that the fault you are experiencing is caused not by Lame.exe, but by the current LXP Alpha. Cheers manolito |

Right... the stable build has the older version of LAME and older versions of Opus and opusenc.
I want the newer Opus very much [from the unreleased builds] because it is a large upgrade in terms of audio quality when encoding certain files and fixes some bugs. The unreleased alpha/beta builds contain, as far as LAME goes, an update to "LAME encoder v3.100 Final (2017-10-13), compiled with ICL 18.0 and MSVC 14.1" ... I'm wondering if I lack a support file to run files compiled "with ICL 18.0 and MSVC 14.1". I'll check for a Microsoft runtime for MSVC 14.1 and see if my up-to-date system already has it installed. I'll have to search for ICL because I'm not sure what that acronym stands for. I'm too tired right now to verify that particular acronym, so I'll check it later... or it might pop into my head when I'm more alert. Thanks for the reply! I know rolling back to the most recent stable build is an option, but that would mean using libopus 1.x rather than the newest 2.1.1 [virtually identical to 2.1] for encoding, and 1.1.x and 2.x behave surprisingly differently when encoding audio. You can check opus-codec.org or the Opus RFC's most recent update at ietf.org as well as the Opus thread on hydrogenaud.io for a more precise Opus changelog... but I digress. I'm eager to read LoRd MuldeR's response... does LAME 3.100 Final support every variation of MP3-encoded file? It says Final so it should, right? Did any of the CLI options change that haven't yet been fixed in LameXP's code, or does its method of invocation/hooking differ in some way from the earlier versions of LAME and/or mpg123 which worked correctly? [This version might work correctly as well, depending on a few things on my end.] I still suspect it might be a missing dependency on my system rather than anything LM did. I keep forgetting to check for and validate certain things that might be responsible.... hmm. Last edited by danlock; 1st December 2017 at 05:00. |

I assume that you are familiar with the LXP method to replace built-in tools with different versions...
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...10#post1806010 Using this method it should be easy to replace the built-in Opus files (opusdec.exe and opusenc.exe) with newer ones. Of course only as long as the user interface has not changed. As for your concerns about missing support files for newer executables I don't think so. ICL means "Intel Compiler" and MSVC stands for "Microsoft Visual C". LoRd_MuldeR always made sure that LXP is self-contained so it does not need any additional support libraries. Cheers manolito |

I'm suspicious, because I can see no error there. Doesn't even look like it started doing anything Quote:
Instead, I suspect that it is somehow related to the recent MediaInfo changes. I will have to look into this ASAP... (but not tonight )

Only MP3 files seem to be affected, and the process of decoding aborts before it starts with a LameXP error window saying the file can't be processed and indicating I can click (double-click?) the filename for more details. The window displayed after clicking the filename is where the "This file is NOT supported!" error I quoted is shown. After that, I can close that window and continue using LameXP for other things or quit or whatever. I've tried both changing and removing tags/metadata (ID3 v1.1 and v2.x) in the problematic MP3 files LameXP has told me were not supported (despite my having used them as source files in older versions of LameXP without error before) and LameXP still reports the files as "NOT supported" and doesn't even begin the decoding process. I think you're correct in suspecting that LAME has not yet been invoked when the file is reported as being unsupported; in my fatigue when writing the initial message, I was confusing LameXP's error window with one reporting output from LAME. Admittedly, I've only tried converting Ogg, Opus, MP3, WAV, and FLAC files during the time this "no MP3" error has existed in the betas, so I don't know whether any other non-MP3 files abort prior to decoding (Ogg, Opus, WAV, and FLAC work correctly and as-expected). thanks!

http://mediaarea.net/download/binary...ndows_i386.zip and this does not introduce any problems. If the issue is related to recent MediaInfo changes, then it looks like it must be your MediaInfo build which comes with the LXP installer. Should be easy to confirm by danlock: Just download MediaInfo.exe from the above link and put the executable in the appropriate folder. If the problem disappears then it does not have anything to do with MediaInfo. Cheers manolito Last edited by manolito; 2nd December 2017 at 02:23. |

Hello LoRd_MuldeR, I have only just discovered this excellent tool. I was searching for a quick and easy way to convert 12,000 audio files to a much smaller size for streaming use. Quality is unimportant, it is to serve as a reminder of how the audio sounds (begins and ends) in a remote radio environment. Anyway I am converting to ogg with quality -2, I could cut my file sizes even further by switching to mono but that option is only available for mp3. Can I possibly override the ogg settings somehow? Thanks.

I think you misunderstood LoRd_Mulder's instructions. To add a custom option to the Ogg encoder there is no need to create a "tools\version" folder - this is meant for using a different encoder executable.
In LameXP under "Advanced Options" near to the bottom there are fields where you can add custom options to the internal encoders. Just enter "--downmix" here for the Ogg encoder. Good luck manolito Last edited by manolito; 3rd December 2017 at 14:07. |

Exactly. Also there is a small help button at that location, which will show you other "custom" options you may add.

Using the Custom Options available for each filetype as suggested by manolito and verified by LoRd MuldeR seems like a more precise method of doing so, however. @LoRd MuldeR: Thanks for the quick fix I wish all software were as easy to update as LameXP and other similarly-simple auto-updating programs! Vielen Dank! |
