trackfs.flactracks.FlacSplitException: failed to extract track #1 from file about trackfs

[andresch]

Hi,

the error indicates that trackfs is not able to extract the first track from the flac file. Without access to the flac file the root cause is hard to diagnose. Any chance that you can provide me access to the flac file (or even better one just with white noise, so that we don't run into copy-right issues? Then I could have a look. I'm only using flac with embedded cue sheets, so in general it works.

Best,
Andreas

Hi,

Thanks for giving me a bit of your time. Since my message, I did a bit a investigation, helped with the debug messages of trackfs, and understood that the command flac was indeed in cause. The issue is that my locale LC_NUMERIC is set to fr_FR and flac expects times in the format mm:ss,ss (note the comma, used in French as decimal separator) while trackfs passes times in the format mm:ss.ss whatever the locale is.

I fix the bug by temporary changing LC_NUMERIC to en_GB in the terminal. Maybe could you force the value of LC_NUMERIC in flactracks.py?

Best,
