Some music doesn't play on Linux (fix)
« on: March 28, 2021, 15:34 »

This bug has already been mentioned here, years ago: https://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,7188.0.html

I had this issue on Linux too. I fixed it by running the following script, which strips all the metadata and cover art from the mp3s:

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p mp3_fixed
for f in mp3/*.mp3; do
  ffmpeg -i $f -vn -codec:a copy -map_metadata -1 "mp3_fixed/$(basename $f)"
done

Then configure the musichq.lua file to point to the newly created directory with the fixed mp3s:

Code: [Select]
-- High quality remixes of the original Doom music are a courtesy of Sonic
-- Clang ( http://sonicclang.ringdev.com/ ) used with permission.

-- Doom the Roguelike theme, Unholy Cathedral, Final Showdown, Hells
-- Weapons, Something Wicked, Of Skull And Bone, The Brick Song, and
-- Too Hot Down Here tracks composed by Simon Volpert (thanks!)
