I cannot help anymore as this worked for other users of SlimP3. Please do some reading and try to understand what the files are about as if you want to do more experiments to find correct settings. Unfortunately, the problem persists - SLIMP3 keeps rebuffering and it converts to 320kbps This means you changes are not working - either the conf file is not the file being user, it is syntactically incorrect or you have not restarted SBS (i.e stop SBS totally. make sure your conf file is changed and saved and editor closed before restarting SBS). Read the lame documentation - Use -b 64 the following is not valid -b -b 64 Use -b 64 and not -b -b 64 Get it working with the standard conf file lines before trying adding a new one with slimp3. When trying to solve a problem making two changes at the same time is never a good idea. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63124 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Hi bpa; yes, lame should be installed, as it is part of the SSODS package. (And FlipFlip confirmed it.) How can I verify correct installation? As for WMA - MP3, it says WMAmplayer.sh/lame in the settings. Note: I also tried to change wmamplayer.sh to pinpoint it to the install location of mplayer.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC, mplayer, Napster SB1 ?
I've tried searching for answers but I'm guessing there are not too many of us left running SB1 and even less that want to stream Napster to it:) As per the title, should I be able to play Napster streams on an SB1 ? I'm assuming that it would require AlienBBC with mplayer with an appropriate convert.conf file to transcode the WMA stream on the fly to MP3 or FLAC ? I can play Deezer, BBC streams and other internet streams but not Napster. No matter what I do I always get an invalid credentials message. I have set up my napster account in Squeeze network, I can browse my personal Napster library on the SB1, so I know the credentials are correctly set up but it refuses to play any tracks. Is there a fundamental incompatibility or just incompetence on my part ? I should also say that I'm running Squeezecenter 7.3.3 on a Synology DS NAS using SSODS - is the fact I'm not running windows the problem ?
