[Flac-dev] Help upgrading to 1.1.3 (MD5 sum issues, album art corrupts files)

[Stephen F. Booth]

Hello all,

I recently upgraded the libFLAC used in my application Max (http:// 
sbooth.org/Max/) to 1.1.3 and added preliminary support for album  
art.  During the upgrade I evidently made some coding mistakes with  
interesting results.  I've combed everything over and can't quite see  
the problems.  I've become somewhat frustrated because my code didn't  
really change significantly from my usage of the 1.1.2 APIs yet  
things don't work like they did previously.

My first issue is this: files generated by my application are  
reported as having "ERROR, MD5 signature mismatch" when tested with  
flac -t.  I am at a loss as to why!  When I set  
FLAC__stream_encoder_set_verify to true no errors are reported during  
the encode.  Has anyone seen anything like this?  The source for my  
encoder may be viewed at http://macaudiox.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ 
macaudiox/trunk/Encoders/FLACEncoder.m?view=markup if anyone is curious.

The second issue is likely more serious.  When I attempt to add album  
art to one of the FLAC files I've created (using the level 2 metadata  
interface), the files are becoming corrupt (in a sense).  Testing  
with flac-t indicates "ERROR, --until value is before --skip  
point".   Interestingly, the file seems to work with metaflac:

Obviously I am doing something wrong, but again I'm not sure what.   
The tagging/album art source code is at http:// 
macaudiox.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/macaudiox/trunk/Tasks/ 
EncoderTasks/FLACEncoderTask.m?view=markup for the curious.

Does anyone have any ideas?
