[slim] Re: Linux x86_64 and AAC heartache....
Can you provide "technical" info. Nobody can help unless you provide better information. What becomes "dog slow" - the audio sounds like it is being played at half speed or slimserver web interface repsonds slowly or SB interface becomes slow or there are large gaps between tracks or something else ? What is jumping - you jump items in the playlist or it jumps within a track ? What are these playlists ? How large are these playlists ? After how many items does the problem show ? What version of mplayer did you install ? Are you still on 6.5.0 or have you upgraded to 6.5.1 ? Did you check what processes are running when the system is running slow to see what using most CPU, memory , disk activity ? Mplayer will be restarted for each track so the "dog slow" problem could be either - something in slimserver (e.g. scanner) or lots of mplayer processes not being killed when finishing a track. If there is a jump within a track and if you using wireless - I'd advise running tests to see how good is your wireless connection. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27811 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Ok, I may have been a bit hasty. Using Mplayer seems to work fine, but as you go further into the play list it starts to jump and becomes dog slow. This is really frustrating Will they ever include support for AAC out-of-the-box?

Alternative approach - try mplayer instead of faad.

To get AAC working in 6.3.1 (on Gentoo) I had used the older version of faad2 from the CVS repo and compiled and installed it. Modified the convert.conf file (changes to slimserver-convert.conf or custom-convert.conf didn't seem to make much difference). Everything seemed to go fine. However, new machine, different OS. The CVS trick isn't working for faad2, as now it fails to compile. Here are the steps I have taken to get it working in the past, that fail now: ## Begin Paste # 1. Build/install faad2 as per: http://robinbowes.com/article.php/2004080319394853 Here's what I did to build a version of faad2 that can sucessfully play .m4a files from slimserver on my Linux system (Fedora Core 2): CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/faac export CVSROOT cvs login (Hit return when prompted for a password) cvs co -D2004-03-03 -dfaad2-CVS faad2 cd faad2-CVS autoreconf -vif ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-mp4v2 make sudo make install The "make" fails with the following errors: make errors ### mp4property.h:61: error: invalid pure specifier (only `= 0' is allowed) before ';' token mp4property.h:77: error: invalid pure specifier (only `= 0' is allowed) before ';' token mp4property.h:78: error: invalid pure specifier (only `= 0' is allowed) before ';' token mp4property.h:82: error: invalid pure specifier (only `= 0' is allowed) before ';' token mp4property.h:84: error: invalid pure specifier (only `= 0' is allowed) before ';' token mp4property.h:87: error: invalid pure specifier (only `= 0' is allowed) before ';' token rtphint.h:38: error: invalid pure specifier (only `= 0' is allowed) before ';' token rtphint.h:39: error: invalid pure specifier (only `= 0' is allowed) before ';' token make[3]: *** [atom_co64.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `faad2-CVS/common/mp4v2' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `faad2-CVS/common' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `faad2-CVS' make: *** [all] Error 2 ### So, what I really need is for someone to show me what they have done, step by step, to get it working. Any takers?

If you used a file called slimserver-convert.conf to get AAC working in 6.3.1 - then it should be renamed to custom-convert.conf for 6.5 Otherwise - describe what you did in 6.3.1 to get AAC working. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27811 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
