WIth apologies if you already know this (and I may well have missed a
post or 2) - are you playing flacs by any chance? One of my renderers
struggles with re-positioning unless I get LMS to transcode flac to
flac. I know it sounds crazy but there's something about the flac
headers on repositioned tracks that drives it mad. There are
instructions on how to do this in the upnpbridge user guide, but
briefly:
1. Create a custom-convert.conf file in /etc/squeezeboxserver (or
wherever convert.conf is on your system) containing:
Code:
--------------------
flc flc * *
# IR
[flac] -cs - -
--------------------
2. On the LMS Settings, Advanced, File Types page you should now see
'flac' being transccoded to 'flac', rather than 'native'.
3. On the upnpbridge settings page for this specific renderer I have
"Force reposition on resume" set to 'yes', "Accept byte seek" set to
'no', and below that "FLAC header" set to 'normal'
This works perfectly for me. I recently tried without it, to see if
things had changed over the last several releases, but it's still needed
for my system. I hope this helps.
LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi box, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit,
44.1->192kbps.
LMS plugin UPnP/DLNA Bridge to MF M1 CLiC (to 405/2 amp & ESLs) &
Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers.
Alternatively Minimserver & Upplay to same & to upmpdcli/mpd PC
renderers.
Squeezelite to Meridian USB Explorer DAC to PC speakers/headphones.
Wireless Xubuntu 15.10 laptop firefox/upplay or Android 'phone with
Squeeze-Commander/BubbleUPnP controls LMS/Minimserver.
Also a Touch with EDO, plus spare, unused.
