I think I have got as far as I can without input from those more knowledgeable, and probably wiser, than I. The state of play now is that:
- I have cleaned up the logs so that they aren't full of trace callback errors whenever the player/renderer is restarted - spare flac/sox programs (usually) aren't left lying around - there are a few configuration additions from the versions published here up to now, such that the python program shouldn't have to be edited - I've sprinkled a few hopefully helpful comments in the scripts - I am finishing up some documentation on how to set it up. However: 1) wavs play fine up to the limit of a single wav (> 3 hours for CD quality) and then stop - reselecting the playlist on the player/renderer restarts it 2) flacs play providing there is something has already started playing when the player/renderer selects the stream URL. However if you pause a track and restart it, and sometimes when changing tracks, you often have to reselect the stream URL on the player/renderer. I suspect the problem is that when nothing is playing, flac (from the flac or sox programs) produces no output (unlike for wavs from sox when there is a constant stream of data) and the stream protocol fails. I am not quite sure if there is an absolute upper time limit on the flac stream but it's > 3 hours at 24/192 provided the music doesn't stop! So, should I publish on the "3rd Party Software sub-forum" and see what follows? LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi running Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. Wired Touch + EDO, coax to Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC. Wireless Xubuntu 14.04 laptop controls LMS via Chromium. Meridian Explorer USB DAC to listen via Squeezelite on Vortexbox & other PCs as required. Spare Touch in loft. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101622 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
