However since squeezelite is the player - there is no need for QNAP to do AAC transcode into Flac. However VLC is needed to transcode DASH transport protocol from source to ADTS protocol to send the AAC stream to the player which is not a compute heavy task. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109261 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Version of LMS is not an issue as you need to use a transcoder. However I don't know if VLC with DASH is available for a QNAP - before doing any more work - you need to confirm what version of VLC (if any) works on your QNAP bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109261 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

My LMS version is 7.7.6 running on a QNAP TS-212P, QTS 4.3.3. I can't tell what Linux distro QTS is based on, but seen reference to Busybox. LMS 7.7.6 seems to be the latest version running on this platform. gc George_C's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64770 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109261 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

With DASH the is the ability to stream at a variety of speeds/resoution etc some depending on the client (e.g. PC, phone, tablet) - so how you got the URL can affect how it is to be played. The precedent is where the URL came from and to some extent the device the being used and application - which seems to be a Web Browser and PC.

I don't care for the visualization associated with the audio which comes as video. In the case of Nile TV International, I recognize that the quality of the video stream is very poor, but it is what it is. You can compare the quality playing the stream on vlc with the same stream on the player in the hosting page so I don't think there is anything incomplete about the URL *So how to setup a transcoding application. ?* The ability to use a transcoding application depends on the source URL MIME type - it needs to be consistent and also the trasncoding application has to be able to discard the video. Also for DASH - you need to tell application play not to adaptively change bit rate during playback as LMS playback device cannot acceptable variable bitrates within a stream but looking at the manifest and this does not seems to be an issue.. At the moment VLC looks to be a only possible application - what is hosting LMS - Linux (which distro) , Windows 7/8/10 or OSX ? If it is Windows - there could be problems. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109261 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] MPEG-DASH (Audio embedded in Video)
So I have an audio stream embedded in a video stream This is it: https://msertupoc.streaming.mediaservices.windows.net/2a9cfb90-d75c-4ecc-976a-4df4af14f91e/12ab7ccc-da6e-497c-abf6-099dabf44329.ism/manifest(format=mpd-time-csf) It is ERTUs (Egyptian Public Radio) Song Channel. The player where the video stream URL is extracted from is at https://www.maspero.eg/wps/portal/home/radio/stations/radio-songs I have no idea why they embed an audio stream in a useless video stream, but they do. With some digging, I gather that this stream is in MPEG-DASH format... (see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/previous/media-services-deliver-content-overview) Now, I can play that stream directly on any browser or using VLC, and can record it using VLC or Applians Replay Media Catcher. The challenge is to play it (and similar streams) on the Logitech Squeezebox Radio. Adding the URL as a favorite in Logitech Media Server (LMS) fails to play. Questions: Is there a way for LMS and the Squeezebox Radio to play the audio and ignore the video? or Can a playable audio only direct stream URL be identified? All help is appreciated.
