v2.2.5 message "Invalid cross duration: 0.00 <= 0.!"

[ArvyRogerio]

Hi, I'm having problems using "annotate" in version 2.2.5. Previous version that I was using (2.1.4) I had no problems.

Error [cross:1] Invalid cross duration: 0.00 <= 0.!

Request: annotate:liq_cue_in=0.,liq_cross_duration=1.67:/path/11451.mp3

And I feel a little "skip" in the very beginning of the song, a small "jump". If I don't use "annotate", songs play perfect.

The error still appears if I change liq_cue_in to 0.01 for example.

Any ideas?

Hi @ArvyRogerio,
I can't say for sure, but it seems that something changed between 2.2.x and 2.3.x, so it would probably be fixed in the next release.
Consider creating a complete issue anyway.

@ArvyRogerio Have you tried using liq_cross_start_next (float seconds from start of file) instead of liq_cross_duration?

Nevertheless, I’ve also heard about problems with liq_cue_in being very short and typically use a value of 0.1 myself (or whatever Autocue calculates).

[ArvyRogerio]

I'll try soon, thanks!

@Moonbase59 No difference using liq_cross_start_next ...

Hi! Do you have more extracts from the logs?

The "skip" that I mentioned is not confirmed, I need to test more.

Well, I returned to the format annotate:liq_cue_in=0.,liq_cross_duration=1.67:/path/11451.mp3.

Now I realized something: the songs are not "mixing" smoothly (overlap). When liq_cross_duration triggers, the "old" song is cutted, and the new is inserted. So, my question is, something related to this changed since version 2.1.3?

So, for version 2.2.5, what are the correct combination of liq_* parameters to smoothly mix the songs? Or need any operator, or change?

@Moonbase59 Any ideas? Thanks.

I have some "stations IDs" and now I have a new message:

But "64.mp3" is >5 seconds. The trigger point is 2.57s before the end of the station ID with >5s.
