What you get - Volume control via phone/tablet/web for FLAC and MP3 - It should be possible to set this up for Spotify too - TBD. - You must avoid volume control via IR remote or client controls - Volume change is not immediate but takes place on: - a new track being played - next/previous track selected - time skip within the track - Volume control via Sox dithered at 24 bits, no player attenuation. - Each volume step is 0.5dB. - Volume 0 is -50dB (not off).
Notes: - The server volume level will try to return to 100 every time you use the IR remote's volume buttons, or on system start. For this reason - VolumeLock plugin (first step below) is important. And you must use phone/tablet/web for volume control. - You won't be able to time skip with MP3. - The files are patched based on 7.7.6. If you need a patch for a different version, PM me and I will provide them. Steps (assuming Linux) Install the VolumeLock plugin and set the maximum volume level to a safe level Install VolumeLock via Settings > Plugins Set volume to the desired maximum (don't choose anything above 90). Set max volume level via Settings > Player > VolumeLock player settings > 'Set current volume as maximum' > Apply Set player volume level fixed to 100% Settings > Player > Audio > Volume Control > 'Output level is fixed at 100%' > Apply For MP3 support you should install the package 'libsox-fmt-mp3'. Patch convert.conf(s) - see below. Patch perl files – see below. Restart LMS. Verify. Settings > Advanced > File Types Check that FLAC-FLAC says 'flac/sox', others in the group disabled Check that MP3-FLAC says 'sox/sox', others in the group disabled Apply. Where can I get the files? https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4oshksnzgrys7af/AABfwj-LYo4qY0VWcyvLNWe6a?dl=0. convert.conf should replace that found in /etc/squeezeboxserver (copy original first) The *.pm files found under the structure in Slim, should replace those found in the equivalent locations in /usr/share/perl5/Slim (copy originals first) Regards, Darren Check it, add to it! http://www.dr.loudness-war.info/ SB Touch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darrenyeats's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10799 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104629 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
