4.5

Greetings,
I just updated and imported a game project I was making in 4.4 to 4.5. I get this error.

WARNING: modules/vorbis/audio_stream_ogg_vorbis.cpp:465 - Invalid comment in Ogg Vorbis file.

then this one on runtime

W 0:00:01:624 maybe_update_info: Invalid comment in Ogg Vorbis file.
<C++ Source> modules/vorbis/audio_stream_ogg_vorbis.cpp:465 @ maybe_update_info()

I’m not sure exactly what Godot isn’t liking or how to solve it , and since I have 400+ sound files this error spams the console every time and makes the console very sad.

If anyone has a hint on what I could do to fix my sound files to make Godot happy again, I’d appreciate it.

Thanks

It’s not an error, it’s a warning. The game should work without crashing.

The code tries to parse the tags of an ogg file which should be in thhe format <key>=<value> as specified in the OGG Vorbis spec

modules/vorbis/audio_stream_ogg_vorbis.cpp

          	Dictionary dictionary;
          	for (int i = 0; i < comment.comments; i++) {
          		String c = String::utf8(comment.user_comments[i]);
          		int equals = c.find_char('=');
          
          		if (equals == -1) {
          			WARN_PRINT(vformat(R"(Invalid comment in Ogg Vorbis file "%s", should contain '=': "%s".)", get_path(), c));
          			continue;
          		}
          
          		String tag = c.substr(0, equals);
          		String tag_value = c.substr(equals + 1);
          
          		dictionary[tag.to_lower()] = tag_value;
          	}
          	tags = dictionary;

I shall now learn about this. Thank you, I appreciate it.

If you added comments to the ogg files in another program like WinAmp that could be the issue.

I wouldn’t be shocked if you find the comments use : as a key/value separator rather than = and are out of spec.

I am very much enjoying this ongoing adventure of learning new things. Thank you for pointing me in the places to look.

Sound file comments (particularly ID3) are a rich seam of madness if you’re looking to have moments of staring aghast at your screen and yelling “HOW DID THIS EVER WORK?!?!”.

Here’s the PR that added the extra information to the warning:

Vorbis: Add details to warning about invalid comment header

I ran into this warning when opening https://github.com/KenneyNL/Starter-Kit-3D-…Platformer, so I added more details to debug it and fix the affected file: ``` Invalid comment in Ogg Vorbis file. ``` It now says: ``` Invalid comment in Ogg Vorbis file "res://sounds/walking.ogg", should contain '=': "Sony Ogg Vorbis 1.0 Final". ```
