Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] 32bit WAVE files Little endian do not play on LMS - any tips?
as a follow up: got it rollin by adding the squeezelite option "-W" (read actual wave headers, ignore format delivered by server) and switching off Wave conversion by LMS vie C3PO helper. didnt crosscheck, but i think both is needed. thanks for your help mate! daFlow's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68812 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109995 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Be careful when reading the player.source log - conversion only take place when you see a command line log with the various application such as flac and sox with full paths detailed. This can seem to be in the midst of other conversion attempts and so be confusing. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109995 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

No - LMS can understand WAV just that some more recent additions (higher res, 32 bit setc may not be fully supported by players. If format is not natioveky supoprtred by a player then LMS has to convert but if no convert rules defined - LMS doesn;t know how to convert. > thinking about it, i'll try a different OS on the player.

WAV is package format not an audio encoding - supporting WAV does not means it supports all audio encoding within that packaging. Your first issue is to determine what formats does squeezelite say it natively supports (i.e. DAC capability is not enough but also audio subsystem reporting back to squeezelite). Enable squeezelite logging to find the formats. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109995 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

"unexpected edn of stream" usually measn one part of the transcode is
not working but since you are using c3po - it could be something else.
C3Po does some weird/clever stuff and anybody using it should post on
the c3po plugin thread to get authors attention.

Pobably - floating point PCM is a very odd format. Are you sure it is a
PCM file and not something like DXD ?

A question for the VLC forums.

LMS conversion to flac is usually for bandwidth but also it means more
time can be buffered in player and so result in less chance of
rebuffering.
IIRC 32bit wav fixed point is handled. Floating point is unusual - I
recall there have been a few time it shas comes rectnly and they seem to
related to DXD and user conversion of DXD file confused LMS. (example

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] 32bit WAVE files Little endian do not play on LMS - any tips?
thanks that was very helpful indeed.
Have to catch up on my c3po transcoding now; i get converted flac files
(sox wav-flc commands) out of my wavefiles when trying to initiate
playback, and i seem to have some weirdness there ("unexpected end of
stream"-stuff).
allow me to fire some questions before doing my reading :)
- LMS does not read/scan/import/playback PCM WAVE little endian 32bit
floating point files (s32fl)?
- a general PCM WAVE format question:
VLC tells me my file is CODEC: PCM S24 LE (s24l), bits per sample: 32
-> i was thinking that S24LE means "signed, little endian, 24 bits", so
how come the 32 bits?
- LMS converts wave to flac for network traffic reasons, or does LMS
know that my sparky board - allo Piano DAC isnt capable of handling the
32 bit wave?

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] 32bit WAVE files Little endian do not play on LMS - any tips?
It seems to imply that either 1. LMS has not understood the file type (drill down on the the track in WebGUI to see what format LMS thinks the file is ) 2. LMS does no have any rule to convert the format suitable for a player (i.e. sox) Enable logging player.source to INFO to get a log of how LMS is trying to process the file. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109995 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
