Audacious - OLD, PLEASE USE GITHUB DISCUSSIONS/ISSUES

"Show time scale for current song" adds a progress bar into the pop-up when hovering a playlist entry.

What you want can be done with the arrow keys ("<-", "->").
With Audacious 4.0 the default value of 5 seconds will also be configurable in the settings.

1) Doesn't allow me to move the pointer on the popup though.
2) Yes, that's great, that may convince me to switch from Clementine which has a nasty little time bar which was my reason for looking at Audacious.
3) I've only got 3.10.1 but I can do this already.

When I started the thread I had only found files for which there is no time bar in the header bar, so no movable pointer. I've now found some files for which there is a nice big time bar in the header, which is much more convenient than in a popup. Any idea why it doesn't always appear? They are all FLAC files.

Can other audio players read the track length properly?
You may file a bug report at https://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/projects/audacious/issues.
Attach a broken file to be able to reproduce the issue.

Done. Interestingly they are from AudioRecorder so it may be something that application is doing. I await the ping-pong.

I have created a short example and uploaded it. Interestingly the problem files I have found so far come from AudioRecorder, so it may be to do with the way that application creates its files - missing a file-end marker perhaps. If someone could define the problem I could report it as an error to AudioRecorder.

Removed

I have also reported this to the Audio-Recorder team.

Audacious support team states that "The file does not have a valid STREAMINFO block (https://xiph.org/flac/format.html#metadata_block_streaminfo)."
I have reported that to AudioRecorder.
Thanks for your help Thomas!
