[slim] The bandwith limitation doesnt seem to work
Hi, first of all I want to say I just love your product! :) To my problem: I want to listen to my music from outside my LAN, and since my bandwith is somewath limited, i need to lower the bitrate on the stream. So far no success on that. Ive tries to set to the lowest bitrate (64kbps) on the player, but the stream is unchanged and my player reports 320 kbps if it is a 320 CBR mp3 file or whatever the source file bitrate is... Ive used Softsqueeze and other players, Ive tried to open: http://SERVERIP:9000/stream.mp3?bitrate=64 No effect at all, the stream is still at normal rate.. Any ideas? -- rayslim rayslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44729 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] The bandwith limitation doesnt seem to work
Well i know the bitrate is not reduced, i am pretty able to hear the difference between 320kbps mp3 and 64kbps for example, and the audio i hear (when i use 3.party player and set buffer size very big) is high quality, i.e. the stream is not downsampled. in adition the buffer runs out just as fast when i choose no limit as to when i choose 64, also my connection isnt _that_ bad... could you maybe give me more details on the player.source=debug thingy? i looked around a bit, but couldnt find out where i set that, maybe ill have to read some manuals :) It is pretty obvious to me that choosing a bitrate limit has absolutely no effect on the stream on my system. -- rayslim rayslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44729 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] The bandwith limitation doesnt seem to work
Here is the log output (edited away some details) If im not mistaken, lame isnt used at all... that would indicate to me that the system thinks it should stream unlimited (i.e. the config has no effect). But correct me if im wrong I must have done someting wrong down the line This is an mp3 file: file:///Y:/music/mp3/Ane%20Brun%20-%20Duets/08%20Such%20A%20Common%20Bird.mp3 file type: mp3 format: mp3 inrate: 320 maxRate: 0 command: - Opening file Y:\music\mp3\Ane Brun - Duets\08 Such A Common Bird.mp3 Seeking in 2205 into Y:\music\mp3\Ane Brun - Duets\08 Such A Common Bird.mp3 MP3 wasn't encoded with LAME, won't play back gapless -- rayslim rayslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44729 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Seems my selectino is registered, but lame is not executed for some reason... my gui tells me lame seems to be installed correctly. Hmm some quite basic that is wrong here This is an mp3 file: file:///Y:/music/mp3/Ane%20Brun%20-%20Duets/01%20Little%20Lights.mp3 file type: mp3 format: mp3 inrate: 320 maxRate: 64 command: - Opening file Y:\music\mp3\Ane Brun - Duets\01 Little Lights.mp3 Seeking in 2197 into Y:\music\mp3\Ane Brun - Duets\01 Little Lights.mp3 MP3 wasn't encoded with LAME, won't play back gapless Streaming with format: mp3 -- rayslim rayslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44729 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] The bandwith limitation doesnt seem to work
Yes i understand that, I deleted the log file first so it is not an old entry. Let me explain what i also tried: i opened the stream from winamp/mediamonkey and other apps. I set the buffer to 1MB which by the way should be sufficiant to buffer the entire song if it was 64kbps... but yet the buffer gets empty several times during a 3-4 minutes song. So there is definitly something wrong and the stream is not 64kbps. Also it is quite easy to hear if it is downsampled to 64... Im not sure where to look, i have tried reinstall the software, but no luck. -- rayslim rayslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44729 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] The bandwith limitation doesnt seem to work
That helped a bit : ) Thanks. Now i seem to be able to limit the bitrate - on my flac files at least... Now, mp3-files with high bitrate cant be transcoded? Dont seem to have any effect on those... In the gui i cant choose lame as the encoder for mp3 -> mp3 transcoding only 'native' or disabled. And the bitrate to the external player stays the same if i try to play a mp3-file... -- rayslim rayslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44729 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
