I have some albums that were ripped using OGG Vorbis. These play fine in Plex (MacOS, in Chrome), but PlexAmp just skips over them. Guess my questions are – why is it that one app supports it but another doesn’t, and, might this be something supported in the future?

I believe this log is from the time when the files would not play. I tried two separate albums, both which had been ripped as OGG Vorbis. Plexamp.2.log (4.8 MB)

Huh, I see this: BASS: Error reading first byte in stream The error is “the channel/file has ended” which seems to indicate some sort of error processing/decoding the file. Want to pass over a sample?

Plays fine in Plex, but not in PlexAmp. 11. DVA - Tralala.ogg.zip (7.9 MB)

media info in plex.tv says this file has both vorbis (audio) and theora (video) … mpv media player indicates same … this might explain why Plexamp won’t play it?

Huh, good eye, I wonder if that is related. Does Plex play it as a video, or audio?

Confirmed it works if I take out the video stream. Also while converting FFMPEG spewed a ton of errors: [libvorbis @ 0x7f780c005240] Queue input is backward in time My suspicion is that something is messed up here in the encoding.

Plex plays it as audio. I was able to convert it to FLAC using a converter, and that solved the problem. Not sure how that video layer wound up in the original file…

Post Plexamp logs, we do support that codec.
