Failed parsing 'N/A' to get FORMAT duration

[msarker3]

Describe the bug

I am analysing large numbers of .flac files. I've successfully run 406 minutes ( 6h 45 min, 1.99GB) and 122 minutes ( 2h 1min, 611MB) audio segments. However, I am getting the following error running other recording which are 240 minutes (4hrs, 164 MB) audio segments.

System.FormatException: Failed parsing 'N/A' to get FORMAT duration.

and there was just a 1 minute audio file in the output folder which is also corrupted.

Expected behavior

I'm using audio2csv and Towsey.acoustics.yml script so I would expect acoustic indices calculated with FCS images, as happened with the previous audio segments. I would need the FCS image to detect frog calling in the output folder

Hi @msarker3.

Thanks for filing an issue.

Can you provide a sample file?

I'm going to take a wild guess and say this is the FL010 bug we've previously documented at https://openecoacoustics.org/resources/known-problems/frontier_labs/fl010/

I make another tool called EMU: https://github.com/QutEcoacoustics/emu/. It can repair the files with certain problems too. See https://github.com/QutEcoacoustics/emu/blob/master/docs/fixes.md#check-if-a-file-is-affected-by-the-fl010-metadata-bug

Let me know if I guessed correctly, otherwise send a sample file please.
