CD Cover skins fall over on some jpegs

(1/2) > >>

wwwombat:
Whilst I like the look of the Old-Style "strip" jukeboxes my son prefers a more visual approach... i.e. the album cover approach. Having a wide-screen (16:10) we decided to utilise the cd6-1-ws.skn

However Wincab will fail when attempting to display pages with a supposedly "corrupt" jpeg on it (I manage to quickly see which picture isn't being displayed and then remove it so the default image is used instead). Logging did not appear to trap or identify the error.

Now, I can't see any difference between these ones in error and the ones that work... they display all right in Windows/ThumbsPlus/Internet Explorer and I can't see how they differ from the majority (I've resourced some new ones from cdnow but even one of theirs (Bachman-Turner Overdrive) caused a similar failure.

If I can I'll attach a folder.jpg here (it's the Outkast one) that caused Wincab to fall over in case someone (or Chris) wants to have a look at it.

Chris:
WinCab definately doesn't like that one, although I can't see what makes it different from any other.  I'll throw some tools at it and see if I can figure it out.

Yeh, got me stumped too. I'm not sure if it's gonna help but I have stored away a few other jpegs that also cause it to fail in the same fashion. If you want 'em let me know.

Until then I just flip through the pages, noting where it falls over, and replacing as necessary  :P (come to think of it, this is probably the reason my post of ages ago where I said no skins but default worked for me.... it wasn't all skins failing, just the ones that depicted album covers ... when I reverted to the standard "strip" skin or used a different test bed of music (with "correct" jpegs) then all was okay!)

That would explain it.  I use a third-party jpeg loader... I'll look to see if I can find a different one.

just a shoot:
- mightbe a bad header or such, caused it to crash by the jpgloader. it's is just like id3 tags, if they are bad tagged?

There exists jpg header fix software like below to checkout if it that, that is the problem:
