Re: [slim] APE problem
I had the exact same problem (terrible hissing / "white noise") while streaming ape files with http:://localhost:9000/stream.mp3 I just changed ape mp3 configuration in convert.conf. I replaced ape mp3 * * [mac] $FILE$ - -d | [lame] --resample 44100 -x --silent -q 9 --abr $BITRATE$ - - by ape mp3 * * [mac] $FILE$ - -d | [lame] --resample 44100 --silent -q $QUALITY$ --abr $BITRATE$ - - And make sure to check Monkey's Audio MP3 in FILE FORMAT CONVERSION SETUP.

I've seen annoying inconsistencies among versions of the codec. I have some files on my system, but haven't re-installed mac since my last OS upgrade. Perhaps check that the version used to compress the files is the same version of mac used to play back. On osx and windows, this is found in the Bin folder under the slimserver install folder. Otherwise it will be wherever you installed the mac binary on your system. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

You have to set that to no limit to allow FLAC playback, as long as APE->FLAC is also checked.

Re: [slim] APE problem
yes, the "silence" continues for a very long time (the length the track, I would guess).

It would explain the silence, but it should move past that. Since APE is a transcoded format, there may be a chance that the latest socketwrapper might make a difference. It was checked in today, so you could download tomorrow's build of 6.5.2 and give it a try.

It should be located where you installed slimserver. Open that up with your favourite text editor (use wordpad instead of notepad if you are on windows) Find the line: ape mp3 * * remove the '-x' from the line following, save and close. Restart the server and see if that helps. For streaming in the other formats, go into server settings->debugging and check d_source. Find the link for the log at the end up the description text near the top of the page, click on that to open a view of the log. Watch the log when you try to play using the ->FLAC or ->WAV options. See if there are any errors reported. If you have trouble interpreting the log, you can paste sections of it here. cheers, kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
