What happened?

Within the web audiobookshelf client, a small minority of audio files are unable to be paused and resumed, nor seeked through. If you pause and then resume, the audio does not play, but the progress indicator continues to increase indicating the content is playing. Pausing and resuming again does not seem to correct the issue. If you seek very close to the beginning of the file, it often works, but as you continue seeking, it will begin to fail to play the content again.

What did you expect to happen?

As with the vast majority of content that I play in the web audiobookshelf client, I expected the content to play as the progress bar and time advance.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Add the podcast guerrilla history to the web audiobookshelf client.
  2. Download podcast episode #6x23.
  3. Wait for it to finish downloading.
  4. Click play on that episode.
  5. Attempt to seek to any time beyond 2-3 minutes.
  6. Observe the lack of content playing as the progress bar and time advance.

Second, more realistic but harder, reproduction scenario:

  1. Add the podcast guerrilla history to the web audiobookshelf client.
  2. Download podcast episode #6x23.
  3. Wait for it to finish downloading.
  4. Click play on that episode.
  5. Wait for at least a few minutes of the content to play, preferably more like 15-30 to reflect a more common scenario.
  6. Click to pause.
  7. Wait 15 minutes.
  8. Click to play.
  9. Observe the lack of content playing as the progress bar and time advance.

Additional Notes

I reviewed the issues and could not find any mention of a similar problem.
I have tried other files from the same podcast and not observed the issue with those, so I'm convinced it's something very specific to the files themselves.
I have observed the problem with other content from other sources.

I suspect that there exists one or more production tools which produce audio output that is missing data that is required for the audio player to seek within the mp3 file.
I wonder if given the problem is exceedingly difficult (or outside of the scope of audiobookshelf such as a bug in firefox) to address, an automatic conversion tool could detect the problem and reencode the files using ffmpeg or a similar tool to produce a converted file that does not have the issue. That also could understandably be classified as outside of the scope of audiobookshelf, though.

This is almost certainly an issue with the files. Try encoding the files again.

I agree with your diagnosis, but the encoding is not something I have control over as a consumer of the podcasts.

You can manually encode the file and replace the local file for the podcast.

I can reproduce it. But ABS depends on the browser, and it works perfectly in Chrome.

It also works in Firefox after some time, probably because it needs to do some calculations or something similar.
Unfortunately, ABS can't do much about this. Maybe suggest to the podcast team to use different software, reencode, or use Chrome for this podcast.

I don't mind closing this bug ticket and writing something myself to reencode the files, but I'm not familiar enough with audio encoding to know what ffmpeg command to use to fix this particular problem. I can look up reencoding commands, but do you have any suggestions for ffmpeg commands that might work? Or a link to documentation that might have useful to me in finding one that might work? I'm also unsure how to detect this problem and I'd rather not reencode every single file irrespective of the presence of this problem, but I also don't want to do it manually each time I run into the problem.

Note

The "not" working file uses 48000 Hz instead of the "default" 44100 Hz. Maybe it has something to do with this.

I can also reproduce the issue by playing the file simply in the browser without ABS

@nichwall commented on GitHub (Jun 13, 2025):

I'm also unsure how to detect this problem and I'd rather not reencode every single file irrespective of the presence of this problem, but I also don't want to do it manually each time I run into the problem.

There is some more information in https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/2720 with a link to stack overflow and other related issues. I think there is another issue with more information, but I cannot find it at the moment.

There is a simple ffmpeg wrapper for books in ABS, but it has not been implemented for podcasts yet (but is planned eventually). This would allow you to fix the file when you encounter the problem file.

I think having auto detection of problem files is outside the scope of ABS. Files may only have issues with certain clients, and if a user does not use that client or has special libraries installed that adds support for the codec, how does the server know that?

Yeah that's totally fair, @nichwall. If the issue isn't affecting all browsers which is what @Vito0912 said, then it makes way less sense for audiobokshelf to do anything. I wish I could figure out how to identify the problematic audio files. I didn't see any meaningful difference in the ffprobes, though I don't know what to look for either.

I am having all kinds of trouble too lately. If I start playing a file from the beginning it works fine, if I slew further it seems that FFMPEG is going crazy.

Using v2.25.1 and Chrome. On the mobile app it's working fine, files are also playing in other players without issues.
Never had this kind of issue before, and it happend with all find of files from multiple sources.

This is a different issue and is not related to the issue above.

What you see is expected if the device is not compatible with the file.
File path does not exist /metadata/streams/282ecba4-4643-46cc-a63c-a63a305de38f/output-761.ts can happen if your machine is slow and takes time to transcode. But transcoding should only happen with "excotic" file formats

Since you did not mention which file format (container and codec) the file uses, and in most cases it is actually compatible, this often happens if you:

  • changed something in the database
  • moved servers without moving everything correctly
  • have corrupted files or unsupported codecs
  • Improper permissions (altough this should produce another erroir message)

It's standard mp3/mp3 (I think), for example this https://miroppb.com/b/rss/ASOT_Ep_1131.mp3

I'll investigate but I didn't change anything on my side.

If you can play the file in your browser there is some underlying issue with your abs instance. If so, it's best to open a new issue and provide more details about your setup etc.

I'll test that.
Thank you

Edit: recrating the docker container with a brand new library fixes the issue (with the same podcast files)
Something must have gone wrong with an update
