source_avcodec: error when sending packet

[friki67]

Hello

Archlinux here. Aubio 0.4.9, installed using package python-aubio.

I did aubio tempo "/mnt/storage/data/media/music/Compilations/Blondie-The Best Of Blondie [1981]/03 - Blondie - The Tide Is High.mp3"

and got

[mp3 @ 0x5655280635c0] Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate

RuntimeError: AUBIO ERROR: source_avcodec: error when sending packet for /mnt/storage/data/media/music/Compilations/Blondie-The Best Of Blondie [1981]/03 - Blondie - The Tide Is High.mp3

It was working, now it does this with every track I try.

Why? Can I fix it?

hi @friki67

can you read the files with another tool such as ffprobe? what changed before it stopped working?

cheers, piem

Hello! ffprobe gives me a curious reference to the initial message from aubio:

Most of the files are working, but some albums are failing. They play ok, but I cannot use aubio to get the tempo or beats.
