Re: [slim] WMA files not playing back
The base picoreplayer install does not include the ffmpeg libraries to save space in the image. In this state, squeeelite can't play wma or alac files and relies on LMS to transcode those formats. LMS on Windows includes transcoding support (wmadec) for wma files all other platforms include linux (picoreplayer) require either bpa's PlayWMA plug or a custom-convert.conf with transcoding rules for wma wmal and wmap.

Re: [slim] WMA files not playing back
This issue is with ffmpeg wmalossless decoder in 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. Which are the versions I currently use to build SL. Upgrading to 3.4 and all the wma lossless files I tried play fine. Back porting the changes to 3.2 fixes wma lossless playback as well. Unfortunately, squeezelite is using a depreciated ffmpeg api call so I can't upgrade to the latest ffmpeg until I change that and upgrading to 3.4 has caused stability issues with wma and alac playback.

I have reproduced this problem with Squeezelite on Win10 and Ubuntu. AFAICT The problem only affects WMA lossless files - the problem happens with some other WMA lossless files I have. WMA lossy files are not affected and play OK. I think the issue maybe a "recent" one due to a change in the ffmpeg API as I believe my WMA lossless test files used to play OK but I am not certain as earlier builds often didn't include wma support - so LMS may have been doing the transcoding. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109884 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Hi Ralphy, Happy to see you monitoring the threads, and complements on the great product ! I'm testing out the PCP, impressed by its potential as both a Player and Server for WMA.

Re: [slim] WMA files not playing back
Having booted up a LMS Win10 system - I did some test with problem file. Players - Boom (no WMA lossless) , Radio (native WMA Lossless), SqueezeliteX (on Win10 & native WMA Lossless), Squeezelite (on Ubuntu/Linux & native WMA Lossless) 1. Boom - plays OK with LMS transcoding (wmadec/flac) 2. Radio - plays OK with no transcoding. 3. SqueezeliteX - plays Noise with no transcoding. 4. Squeezelite - plays Noise with no transcoding. 5. SqueezeliteX - plays OK with transcoding (i.e. WMA Lossless filetype native disabled). 6. Squeezelite - plays OK with transcoding (i.e. WMA Lossless filetype native disabled). This tells me the problem is Squeezelite use of ffmpeg libraries - doesn't matter which OS platform Squeezelite is on - the problem still appears. Transcoding from WMA Lossless with LMS on Linux (or OSX) will depend on ffmpeg libraries - so caution. Transcoding from WMA Lossless with LMS on Windows is OK using wmadec. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109884 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I played on a PC (Ubuntu 18.04) which has squeezelite which is statically linked with the ffmpeg libraries - so exactly same code as runs on Pi. Looking at Squeezelite issues - there is an open minor issue about using old ffmpeg library interface. I think the problem is really squeezelite not handling the feedback from ffmpeg gracefully.

Re: [slim] WMA files not playing back
Hal Bregg wrote: > So, in essence, the piCorePlayer is unable to play WMA format ? No - the answer is more nuanced. Squeezelite (all version not just PCP) cannot play YOUR WMA files. Up to now, Squeezelite has been able to play all types of WMA files of LMS users. There is something in your WMA files that seem to break the WMA specification as posted by MS but it can be tolerated. There are applications such as mplayer and VLC which use the ffmpeg libraries and can play your files. Squeezlite also uses the ffmpeg libraries but cannot handle your WMA files. So the issue is probably squeezelite is not using the ffmpeg libraries "properly" and some sort of result from libraries is producing the error message and squeezelite is breaking the decode process. The long term solution would be an update to Squeezeliute to handle your WMA files in the way VLC and other users of ffmpeg libraries. Short term answer might be to get a copy of ffmpeg on your LMS system to transcode WMA (i.e. modify PlayWMA plugin to use ffmpeg) and not have Squeezelite attempt the decode. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109884 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] WMA files not playing back
You mention a DAC board in an earlier thread. What is it? If you disable said DAC and play through the Pis onboard audio do you get the same issue? I say this because the price point of nearly all the Pi HAT DACs is such that you will get the odd faulty board.

Re: [slim] WMA files not playing back
Hi. Very impressed with piCorePlayer and hoping it plays WMA files. It does, but with huge distortion, even on a DAC audio board. FFMpeg libraries installed and reinstalled, backed up and rebooted, with various settings. As a first-timer I'm likely missing what an experienced user figured out long time ago. Will so appreciate any suggestions, Thank you in advance !

Re: [slim] WMA files not playing back
On the main page in the web gui, you need to install the ffmpeg libraries for squeezelite for wma and alac decoder support.

[slim] WMA files not playing back
Hi, I am using a Raspberry Pi Model 3 as a host for piCorePlayer. Today I downloaded the latest version, 4.1which I understood now supports WMA files. However, when I try to play them it just freezes. I had the impression that eh system would ask me if I wanted the extra files to support WMA when I installed, but there were no choices..just a download and burn. I must be missing something obvious...can anyone point me in the right direction . short of converting he WMA to Flac?
