#192 splitting audiobooks: -t option together with -a does not work

[Anonymous]

I try to split audiobook files into roughly 20 minute chunks, but I want to use silence detection to adjust the actual length of the chunks. Here is what I try:

mp3splt -a -p gap=40,th=-40 -t 20.00 -d folder audiobook.ogg

The problem is, that this command splits exactly at 20 minutes, not regarding the -a option at all. Do I something wrong or is this a bug?

mp3splt -v

returns with

mp3splt 2.6.2 (09/11/14) - using libmp3splt 0.9.2

I'm seeing the same thing with:
mp3splt -t 1.00 -a -p th=-55,min=0.5,off=0.5

Splitpoints are being generated in the middle of words :-(

I just tried with:
mp3splt -s -p th=-55,min=0.5,off=0.5

same thing. So it seems silence detection in general isn't working properly.

Hi,

Please try by adding shots=2

mp3splt -s -p th=-55,min=0.5,off=0.5,shots=2

Yes, it worked! Offsets are sometimes still a bit close to the start of the next word, but overall much more accurate. I found these settings optimal for my file:

mp3splt -s -p th=-55,min=0.5,off=0.2,shots=2,trackjoin=30
