Sorry for diverging... You are right on, I did the bin link as you mentioned, and I can call VLC correctly as I mentioned and I saw it coming up ( tried back the other way just for the hell of it and you are absolutely right does not work).... My model: Squeezebox firmware 40 Squeezecenter 7.3.3 That is why the Flac did not work.. But I had no idea... What confused me is that the file that you gave me a while ago ( and is working) for XPLAY is Code: -------------------- # Xplay - unix version # # # XPlay xplay pcm * * # F:{PATH=%f}R:{PATH=%F} [mplayer] -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -rtsp-stream-over-tcp -af format=s16le,volume=0,resample=44100:0:1,channels=2 -ao pcm:nowaveheader:file=#PIPE# $PATH$ xplay wav * * # F:{PATH=%f}R:{PATH=%F} [mplayer] -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -rtsp-stream-over-tcp -af format=s16le,volume=0,resample=44100:0:1,channels=2 -ao pcm:nowaveheader:file=#PIPE# $PATH$ xplay mp3 * * # F:{PATH=%f}R:{PATH=%F}B:{BITRATE=-B %B} [mplayer] -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -rtsp-stream-over-tcp -af format=s16le,volume=0,resample=44100:0:1,channels=2 -ao pcm:nowaveheader:file=#PIPE# $PATH$ | [lame] --silent -q -r -s 44.1 --bitwidth 16 -m s $QUALITY$ $BITRATE$ - - xplay flc * * # F:{PATH=%f}R:{PATH=%F} [mplayer] -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -rtsp-stream-over-tcp -ao pcm:waveheader:file=#PIPE# $PATH$ | [flac] -cs --totally-silent --compression-level-0 --ignore-chunk-sizes - -------------------- So as you can see, I modified the flac line per your instructions, but it was not calling that section! I tested the file just to see what is calling VLC ( by eliminating sections), and the only two options that worked were Wav and mp3. I think you probably know best what to do from here, maybe transcode to PCM as they do up there... Here is what I did, either I am close or that should make you laugh! Code: -------------------- xplay mp3 * * # F:{PATH=%f}R:{PATH=%F}B:{BITRATE=-B %B} [VLC] -I dummy --dummy-quiet $PATH$ :sout=#transcode{acodec=s16l,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:standard{access=file,mux=wav,dst="PIPE"} | [flac] -cs --totally-silent --compression-level-0 --ignore-chunk-sizes - -------------------- that did not work obviously! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mitrih's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97542 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
