Hey, wondering if someone can help me with something: Recently, my computer started not playing audio for like the first second of video/audio files, be it on a web player, on a media player on my computer, et al. I'm guessing this is a codec issue, but I'm not really sure to word it in a Google search. Anyone familiar with this?

It doesn't always happen, and if I jump back to the start I can hear the first second of audio, but it just randomly started happening.

have you tried it with different audio devices

so speakers builtin speakers headphones etc

also try updating audio drivers maybe

and if usb audio does it as well

Fuck I hate living in the south

It happens with both the television and the headset.

Headset is a 3.5mm plugged into a USB dongle, because my computer doesn't have a dual stereo/mic 3.5mm jack, and the splitter either works for audio or mic, never both

All my audio drivers say they're up to date, as well

is it every type of audio, even if you run a midi with the microsoft software synth?

also is it actually from starting playing something or is it going from no sound to sound

like if you have something playing then start something else is there a delay then

Sorry, forgot to check back here. I haven't tried it in depth, but it's with MP3s, MP4s, FLVs, WEBMs, not sure what else I've used. It doesn't always happen, and it's going from no sound to sound. Like, if open a Youtube video and hit "Play," I sometimes won't get audio for the first second. If I jump back to the beginning of the video, I can hear it fine. Same in VLC, same with MP3s in Musicbee, etc.

ok here is my genius solution

have 50 cent's in da club playing on loop but at an essentially inaudible volume, at all times

so you always have sound andn ever get the problem

Spooky had to take it down for upgrades

then got ill

okie

rip spooky

wait, did HE get ill, or the server? >_>

spooky is sick

and twisted

but also ill

I got not covid

it's not covid because I didn't get tested

smart man

but yeah, I've just not had the energy to get everything put back together and get it back online

This weekend prob

just ignore your sickness?

feel better.

ty

Go fuck a bat while youre sick anw

I am about to have over 40 TB or storage on a debian server (I got a good deal on 16TB drives) so I may be able to mirror it?

ooh nice

actually that gets me thinking, I could probably seed or peer or whatever the site too

it's not webtorrent based, it's all direct HLS streams afik Mint

ah

and yeah, I really feel bad that it's down, I've gotten a lot of DMs about it

iirc the site just had like some mention of like one seed or something when ya on a video

oh dang

then that makes surprised no one joined the discord due to it yet

there is a built-in way to mirror the site, if you just want your own copy of it (once it's back up)

or I could just setup a torrent of all my master copies

I think the total site size isn't even that big, just a few TB

Rob's stream archives 2018-Present are the real space hogs

I think all-in that's like 12TB

Yea

The yt shit is tiny

I have most of it too and its like sub 1tb

which is why I never got them up on Rawb.art

I think what I have to do for the streams is get 2, 8TB SATA SSDs

and just pool them

Ew

Why would you go ssd

hence, why I haven't done it

speed

you know what, that's fair Regi

I could test with some of my drives

You dont need it once its on there

and see what the hit is

Theyre video

PeerTube doesn't like local-remote mountpoints is my main problem

As long as you arent putting them on smr shit 5600 drives

So I'll need another drive for the streams either way

and since it won't be an array, or will be a 1-2 drive array

(this is all unrelated to why the site is offline fyi)

Just get 2 nice hgst heliums and call it a day, they read well

I'd still want to test that performance

especially when you have multiple users pulling off that drive

Yeah thats what i was about to say, but still

Sata SSD fixes that for sure

it's on my list of things to add eventually
