[slim] Re: Ignoring FLAC files
Sorry to dig out an old message but I have almost exactly the same problems as Ian. I have tracked back through the discussion that lead to this question and looked at the comments on bug 775. Ideally I want a single listing of each track and I want the best quality to be used for each particular player. In fact comment #16 on the bug summarises the situation exactly as I see it. If flac is commented out in types.conf is it possible to play the flac files or do they become inaccessible? Ian have you worked out an effective way to deal with this situation in lieu of a resolution to bug 775.

I don't want to derail this: are you guys talking about the problem when both .cue and .flac files show up on the squeezebox? -- JayNYC ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Ignoring FLAC files
JayNYC my problem (and I believe it is the same for Ian) is that I have both mp3 and flac files. I want slimserver to pick the best file format for the player,eg flac for squuezebox2 and mp3 for other mp3 players eg slimp3. I don't really want to do transcoding as I can have up to 7 streams running at the same time. I would like to see only one entry for each track in listings but I want flac or mp3 to be selected depending on the player.

If flac is commented out in types.conf is it possible to play the flac files or do they become inaccessible? Ian have you worked out an effective way to deal with this situation in lieu of a resolution to bug 775. I have been commenting all the 'flc' lines out of types.conf :). Works well, but it does make the FLAC files inaccessible (which is a suitable workaround for me at the moment).

I think you'll need to comment out the flac lines in types.conf instead of convert.conf -- jth ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I think you'll need to comment out the flac lines in types.conf instead of convert.conf Ah yes. I was nearly right. That seems to have done the trick.
