Wacup does not play the whole songs

[Gizm0]

Hello everybody,

I have one issue with my songs when playing through Wacup and would need a help with that:

I noticed that some songs are being chopped off little bit before the end. At first, I though my conversion from whatever files to .mp3 got corrupted - I am using JetAudio for converting to .mp3 and since I haven´t updated it in a while I thought this might be the culprit, so I updated it. The issue persisted.

Only then I noticed the same behaviour with songs and playlists which I haven´t touched in ages, so then I knew JetAudio´s conversion is not the issue.

I picked one song as an example: if you will notice in pic.02, it correctly displays in Wacup its length as 4:14, that is correct, however, if you look at the slider, song is almost finished, yet it´s on mark 2:19 - it always chopps off at that point for this particular song (for others on some other).

When I open the playlist, it correctly states that EXTINF length is 254. (pic.03)

I tried to update to latest stable release of Wacup - same issue.
When i upload that very song to some online player (https://jumpshare.com/viewer/mp3) it plays correctly in it´s full length.

So it seems playlists are correct, displayed length is correct, but Wacup does not play the whole songs for some reason.
I never had this problem with Winamp before, and I switched to Wacup 3 months ago or so.

Can somebody help me out with this? Is there a setting I should have look at, or is this a regular bug?

My current Wacup version is 1.99.45.23518 (latest stable) (pic 01)
Win 11 64 bit Pro 25H2

1.99.45.23518 isn't the current build (there's also no stable wacup build & everything provided is a preview build to set expectations) & isn't even the 1.99.45 build that's still provided on the site as part of the old build archive.

1.99.47.23960 is the current build (as shown to be updated to) & is the one that would need to be tested against.

With the file seemingly not playing correctly, I don't know what output plug-in you're using, if things like silence skipping has been enabled or if it's a case of the mp3 header information being wrong for which I would really need a small example file if the suggestion below doesn't help.

Otherwise the only obvious thing to try without a file is to go to Preferences -> Plug-ins -> Input -> MP3 | WAV -> check the option for exact checking of mp3 length. As the build you're running turned that off by default after the one before it having it on by default & it causing a slew of performance issues. However the build that's still being worked on has a hybrid mode that tries to deal with badly formed files (e.g. vbr encoded files without some of the expected header which will clip playback in a manner that seems to seen) but that prefs option is the quick fix to see if that might be what's going on.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply, I quickly tested the fix with the option on the installation on my work machine (which has the current build - 1.99.47.23960 and I had the same issue there) and it worked!

I will update my home PC in to the current build and then try to change the settings there as well.

EDIT:// Thanks, it works, that was it
