Since the SB1 doesn't support WAV only PCM section should be invoked. The conf file I sent you was edited for Windows but never tested. Technically the "nowaveheader" should be "waveheader" on the WAV section. I suspect there is some backward compatibility for SB1 as the SB1 firmware was frozen before the change in 7.4 (2009 http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?57918-Transcoding-changes-wav-gt-pcm&p=381628&viewfull=1#post381628 ) changing WAV section to PCM and adding a true WAV section in config. > I was surprised how inefficient VLC was in playing HLS. Play the stream in VLC GUI and look at message windows set to level 2 - VLC sepnds loads of time just trying to figure out how these stream should be played as they are not what HLS was intended. ffplay is not transcoding MP3 into flac nor fixing mono/stereo bug (after having to decode from flac and then sending through sox) so it is missing some CPU processing there. HLS was intended to plays 5-10 sec chunks of HD video - these broadcaster are doing 5-10 secs chunks of mono MP3 (each chunk requires about 3 HTTP request with playlists) - there must be more time spent processing headers and playlists than actual audio. The amount of data in mono audio compared to HD video is tiny. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 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
