VLC and Elisa (music player) skip while playing MP3s
Howdy,
I have been experiencing annoying brief skips, like on a bumped CD player, with my media players. Replaying the same song or same part of the song does not have the skips, so I don't think it's the files' fault.
Had the same problem in Elisa and VLC. I don't watch much local video, but streaming audio and video doesn't have this problem for me.
Watching the system monitor I see I have 10 Gb of free memory and only 5-10% CPU utilization.
System is Debian 12 with KDE and Xwindows. (Wayland doesn't like my Nvidia 1070)
Any suggestion for how to troubleshoot would be appreciated. I tried downloading more memory but that didn't help!
Off topic, is there a way to add thumbnails to mp3s automatically? Like CD covers or something.
what you're running into is the system stalling usually due to unoptimized or pathological edge cases. the system load doesn't necessarily matter. thats why it happens random and isnt repeatable.
as for your follow up question: many media players have builtin album art resolution. though not sure how to enable it.
I'll check on the second. On the OP, is there anything I can do? A better media player? Surely everyone isn't just putting up with this!
Thank you for the reply.
Happens in Ubuntu as well since several months in all players. Doesn't happen with opus and flac files.
Something compression related maybe. Hmm
