[SlimDevices: Beta] Slimserver hangs when transitioning to an .ape file

[Phil Meyer]

My slimserver crashed today (repeatable) whilst trying to transition from one track to the next.  I use cross-fade, so it crashed with 11 seconds remaining.

It took me a while to figure out what was going on - I run slimserver.pl as a service via srvany.  When it crashed, I tried to stop the service and restart it, but the slimserver log reported that slimserver was already running.

Using Process Explorer, I couldn't see any slimserver process, eg. perl.exe or srvany.exe, but I found the following was running:

cmd.exe /x/d/c ""P:\Music\SlimServer\trunk\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\mac.exe" "M:\Music\Phil's Music\Downloads\Beatles\Abbey Road\01 - Come Together.ape" - -d | "P:\Music\SlimServer\trunk\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\flac.exe" -cs --totally-silent --compression-level-0 -"

I killed this and then I could restart the service.  I tried to play the same track transition again, and it all hung up 11 seconds before the end, just as before.

I tried to run this in a cmd window, at which point I got a firewall popup requesting access for Explorer.exe to run mac.exe.  I never got this when slimserver was running, so perhaps there's some socketwrapper issue again?
