I switched my server over to use faad. sudo apt-get install mplayer faad then copy the 3 attachments to /etc/slimserver (remove .txt custom-convert.conf.txt and custom-types.conf.txt) (will require sudo :) Then restart slimserver with: sudo /etc/init.d/slimserver restart This will enable AACplus and AAC support. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: custom-types.conf.txt | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3281| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38310 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
