Re: [slim] lossless internet radio streaming in FLAC!
Testing Absolute Radio UK's 60s, 70s, 90s, and 00s streams today, I found only the 60s stream to be lossy. Looks like it's time to bug the station with another report, as the 60s stream has been lossy for weeks, if not months.

There is no set schedule for when Absolute plays these streams. As I say in the title of this reply, supply follows demand. Unless more of us tune in, there is less incentive for them to turn on (more regularly). I prefer late night and the wee hours of the morning (London time), only because that's when they play more of the off-beat and just plain cool.

Hopefully the server would be configured to refuse connections if the number of users exceeds the local capacity of the host. So the main issues will be with internet performance between you and the streaming provider. In the case of the Absolute streams they peer direct to my isp at the local internet exchange (linx) - so the performance is only down to their network and my isp's network. Cesnet.cz also look to be directly connected to my isp at the Prague internet exchange (nix.cz).

Re: [slim] lossless internet radio streaming in FLAC!
Be careful about multiple "flc flc" lines. The second line "# F" , "# R " or "# I" relate to different types of traffic - remote, file and stdin respectively. If one of the "flc flc" rules does not have a "#F" type 2nd line then it will apply to all Flc->flc and may override an earlier "flc flc" with "# R". I don't think the "flc flc" rules will be applied if you have the ogg rule implemented. However, to be on the safe side I think you should have 3 sets of "flc flc" rules - one for each type of traffic and so you are sure which rule will be applied to a flac file vs a flac stream. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65553 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

At quick look at what is happening so it may be wrong. It seems SC is ignoring the application/ogg MIME type and just using the extension and has decided the stream is a Flac stream and not an OGG stream and so the new rules is not applied. Earlier version of SC used the MIME type application/ogg to trigger the OGG-Flac rule. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65553 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] lossless internet radio streaming in FLAC!
Unlike http/icy streams, mplayer doesn't seems to decode the metadata. That said, feeding mplayer metadata back into SC is v. hard. Prior to 7.3.3 for AACplus support - I used a trick where SC stripped the transport protocol and extracted metadata for display on players and then fed the raw audio stream into mplayer to decode into PCM. I quickly tried the same approach with the ogg/flac.

Nope, firmware doesn't have libogg or OggFLAC support. :( The flac binary can handle this stream but requires the --ogg switch for decoding (it doesn't auto-detect). -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65553 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] lossless internet radio streaming in FLAC!
Looks like the FLAC decoder has built-in support for OggFLAC. It may just be a matter of getting SC to detect it and tell the player to decode with FLAC instead of Vorbis. I'm curious now so will look at that soon. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65553 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] lossless internet radio streaming in FLAC!
That's pretty cool. Unfortunately we don't support OggFLAC :( Can you file an enhancement request? Would be cool to support that in firmware, but probably a lot of work for one station. A transcoding solution is more realistic. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65553 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] lossless internet radio streaming in FLAC!
The stream identifies its types as "application/ogg" which SC type.conf has been set up to play as OGG. As OGG/Vorgis is a supported format - your stream will be sent to SB which will try to decode it as Vorbis not flac. If you disable native OGG/Vorbis decoding in Setting/Advanced/Filetypes - then your stream will be directed to the OGG decoding rules which will try to use sox to decode. Howecver I don't know if sox supports playing streams (it doesn't support ogg/flac files) so unless you play OGG/Vorbis streams - your best chance would be rewrite the OGG rules to possibly use flac from stdin or MPLAYER from the URL -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65553 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] lossless internet radio streaming in FLAC!
All I understood is that there is FLAC coming in an OGG container, so I've been messing around with types.conf and convert.conf. I don't have a clue what I'm doing, just trial and error. Without success so far... But I'm afraid that it's not that easy. Can anybody confirm that it's not possible to stream FLAC by URL? Like this I could stop wasting my time ;-) -- Quad CD => EAC => FLAC => SC 7.3.3 => SB Duet => DacMagic => Quad77 pre amp => Quad707 power amp => Quad 21L speakers Quad's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65553 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
