I have seen this before and it usually/always happened when I had added info to the idv3 (or whatever flac uses) tag. But I'm using very old versions of TLH and this may be fixed in the current version idk as I haven't updated to it yet.

TLH has always finished working with any other files I had cued, but would not proceed to other tasks such as test decoded file for mp3 or delete source files. I guess if the program thinks there's a problem it shouldn't do anything like delete any files, but I do wish it would go ahead and do the mp3 check. (yes I know you had said that that was only really useful studio tracks but ..)

Still the best thing out there IMHO!

[roann]

Well, it took *much* longer than expected ... but now the final build of the v2.0.0 release of Trader's Little Helper has been finished. There are lots of new things (see the incomplete summary below). The new release is available here. Some of the new features:

- support of mp3 format
- support of mkw format
- support of flac v1.2.1
- re-encoding of flac files
- direct conversion ape/flac/shn/mkw to flac or mp3
- creation/ verification of sfv checksum files
- creation of single-file torrents
- torrent file checker
- sizeable interface ("request of the year")

Note (*only* for users of one the pre-releases): You cannot use the integrated 'Check for update' function to get the new installer because the download server used by the pre-releases doesn't exist anymore.

I was just going to post that.

Thanks Robert. Gonna give it a try this weekend.

[Patty Mac]

Thx for the update, can't believe it but the best just keeps getting better.

Is there a workaround for TLH requiring shntool in the command line apps folder? I need shntool in the windows folder because I use a lot of features of the program that aren't available in TLH.

Why is TLH trying to include the .txt file when verifying checksums?

[roann]

After installing the new v2.0.0 build 142 the icons of some audio files and the icons of all checksum files are messed up in Windows Explorer (nothing serious, just no and/or the wrong icons). Sorry, my bad! If you'd like to punish me for my inexcusable stupidity give me a call, young hot women preferred ;-) ... Anyway, there's a fixed release (build 143) available now via TLH homepage or 'Check for update' function.

Just *copy* shntool.exe to your Windows folder, TLH isn't "interested" (anymore) in what is happening in that folder. What features of shntool you'd like to see in TLH?

Files with .txt extension were always allowed in the 'Verify checksum files' section.

Excellent, thanks.

Yes, but now they seem to be in there by default. IMO, it was better to have to add those manually or at least to have the ability to remove them from the queue. It's a pretty minor problem overall.

I just wanted to say thanks!
Thanks for a great APP!
& Thanks for including Yeeshkul Tracker in the default announce URLs!!!

[Seth01]

At the risk of sounding like a me-too'er, I'm going to say that I echo beeer's sentiments above. I use TLH every single day and it is an invaluable piece of software to me that makes my hobby that much more easier and better so thank you very much for that. And what a neat idea with the torrent maker! I too am grateful for the inclusion of Yeeshkul.

Thanks for all your hard work.

You're welcome, thanks for your kind words!

Wasn't Yeeshkul already included with TLH 1.1.1.90? Anyway, just added a few trackers that I know of to the default list ... it you want me to add others trackers that allow uploading torrents and support lossless audio, just send me name and exact announce url and I'll add the data to the default announce URLs. BTW you can do this yourself on the 'Create torrent file' page of TLH ...

Press any key to continue . . .

The possibly truncated or corrupt files play fine on my PC. How can I help figure out what the problem is?

...

1) Decoding with TLH
The error message "flac fingerprint cannot be checked since it was unset in the streaminfo block." means that the fingerprint stored in the header of the flac file was/is zero-ed (and as such is invalid).

2) Verifying .ffp file with TLH
Due to 1) TLH detects that a) the fingerprint given in the .ffp file doesn't match the one in the flac file header and b) the re-calculated checksum of the decoded flac data doesn't match the one in the flac file header. Conclusion: flac file is corrupt.

3) Decoding/testing with FLAC frontend
TLH uses flac 1.2.1, FLAC frontend uses flac 1.1.2. I think v1.1.2 should detect such an error but I have to test it to see what happens.

Just to be sure: Is there a way I can get one of those files TLH reports as erroneous (show is still downloadable, or RapidShare, or ...)?

@wharfrat73 (in addition to my post above):

I did a couple of tests. Here are the results.

a) flac 1.1.2 (used by FLAC Frontend) is not capable to detect a zero-ed flac fingerprint in the file's header (or just ignores such a fingerprint). So if there will be no other error detected testing/decoding will be done without any error message.

b) flac 1.2.1 (used by TLH) is capable to detect a zero-ed flac fingerprint in the file's header and will show an error message when testing/decoding such a file.

c) If this "fingerprint error" is the only error you can decode the flac file with TLH using the option "Decode through errors". You'll get a successfully decoded file but you cannot be sure whether the decoded audio data matches the original wav data before it was flac-ed.

PS: No need anymore for a flac file to test.

I've just DL'd TLH 2.0.1 (143) and can't add files to process;
can't drag 'n' drop, no "browse" button, nada.

I assumed it might be a screen resolution problem and tried
several to no effect.
I removed TLH and re-installed (with re-boot in between).

Can anyone help?

thanks, subDK

....and here's a screenshot from "Format/Encode" that more clearly shows my problem. This is a full screen screenshot.
I've tried combinations of screen resolution & font size; nothing has helped.
