Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Inguz EQ/DRC
After a lot of reading through these forums, and finally working out how
to get C3PO working I was able to get Qobuz running through Inguz.
Qobuz streams in flac, and I found that when I changed the file types
for flac to stop LMS transcoding to mp3 or PCM then no music played
C3PO has a handy feature which allows you to see the command last run
for trancoding a song. This allows you to definitively confirm that the
setup is working and Maroc had posted a config to convert from Qobuz to
DSD. I am not using DSD - but in the post marcoc1712 indicated that the
flac settings for Qobuz needed to be different to regular file streams.
I ended up finding this entry in the Inguz Plugin.pm perl script. the
first 3 lines are the original command (starting flc flc*..) I commented
out the client parameter to stop the command being applied to any
player. The second command (also starting flc flc *) is the command for
trancoding and piping flac to Inguz.
flc flc * CommentedOut
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [$CONVAPP$] -id "CommentedOut"
-wav -wavo -d 24 | [flac] -cs -0 --totally-silent -
flc flc * $CLIENTID$
# FRI
[flac] -dcs --totally-silent $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [$CONVAPP$] -id
"$CLIENTID$" -wav -wavo -d 24 | [flac] -cs -0 --totally-silent -
I also found the equivalent entries in the custom-convert.conf file also
located in the Inguz plugin folder. The time you need to replace both
$CLIENTID statements with the PlayerID. You may need to repeat on the
server cache too. The entry will look like this
flc flc * 84:39:be:67:5c:ea
# FRI
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [InguzDSP] -id
"84:39:be:67:5c:ea" -wav -wavo -d 24 | [flac] -cs -0 --totally-silent -
So this definitely works, but there is a downside. The flac streams are
no longer interactive. You can play and pause, but if you try and click
on the playing progress bar to move further down a track then the player
simply moves onto the next track ( I like exploring new music through
auto-plalylists so often find boring/annoying music and want to see if
it gets better).
So I may need to do further tests to see if I can fix this.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] USB Cables
When I moved to the UK I been with ntl for a brief period before Virgin took over. Service was OK for a price but then I've moved to house without 'cable broadband' so been given Virgin ADSL.. Omg this was worst nightmare.. It took 7 months and ombudsman to escape theirs contract and get money back for shocking 0.3 mbps service ..later with Entanet(under old ownership) same ADSL line supported 4.5mbps (mind you house was quite a distance from exchange) but yeah Virgin support were absolutely useless bunch of liars. Few years ago Vodafone came close in terms of hopelessness when they couldn't provide static IP. 3x Squeezebox Touch, 4x Squeezebox Radio, Squeezelite (RPi 3B with HiFiBerry DAC+Pro on OSMC), Material Skin Apk, Squeeze Commander, Logitech Media Server Version: 8.2.0 with Material Skin (Docker in DS218+) Jaca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58187 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114088 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
