Hi all, I need a clarification about streaming AAC files in native format, from the slimserver. We are planning to stream AAC files in native format without any transcodings. Does Slimserver support streaming AAC files in native format without any transcodings? Could you please clarify me regarding this. -- b_prem b_prem's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2119 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25053 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

File Format Stream Format Decoder Apple AAC, Lossless or Movie File AIFF mov123 Apple AAC, Lossless or Movie File FLAC mov123/flac Apple AAC, Lossless or Movie File MP3 mov123/lame I chose an AAC file, ending with the extension .m4a, and clicked Play.

[slim] WMA streaming in native format.
Hello all, I try to stream a WMA file in native format from Slimserver. We are using a custom written client for that running in Windows. For this in the convert.conf, we added the line wma wma * * - But still, the slimserver is not sending the start command in the strm message and it is not streaming the file. 1. Are there any other options available to do this? 2. What are the WMA file type (lossless/ lossy) supported now? If so, shall I get any file / file specifications, which has been tested by you? Please give your suggestions. -- b_prem b_prem's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2119 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20766 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Playing WMA in native format.
Hello Ceejay, The problem is streaming WMA files in native format. I donot want transcoding the WMA files into MP3 format. I could not download Slimserver 6.2.2, because, when I tried downloading from this link, I get only 6.2.1 version for Windows. (http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html) I chose the following settings to stream WMA files in native format into the SoftSqueeze 2.2, from Slimserver 6.2.1. For this, I chose the following settings: ServerSettings -- File Types --FileFormat=Windows Media, StreamFormat =Windows Media, Decoder=Windows Media. Now, I tried playing the WMA file in the softsqueeze2.2, by clicking the Play option for the WMA file. Now, I get the following error message in the softsqueeze User Interface. - PROBLEM: CAN'T OPEN FILE FOR: (The media name) - -- b_prem b_prem's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2119 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20460 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Playing WMA in native format.
Thanks Ceejay. 1. Apart from the using Softsqueeze 2.2, i have also used a client written by me, with which I read from the slimserver. When ever I clicked a WMA file, I get a stop slimproto command. Also when I read the HTTP stream, i get only zero bytes. Slimserver is not at all streaming this WMA file. Have you tested this scenario.( ServerSettings -- File Types --FileFormat=Windows Media, StreamFormat =Windows Media, Decoder=Windows Media; ) 2. Does it mean that, Slimserver does not stream in native AAC format?
