Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] PlayWMA Fix
Those aren't the build option I meant. Mplayer has a huge number of options and the ones listed are just broad categories and not the more fundamental ones whuich in turn set the defaults on output. I google the issue and it has popped up a few times over the years so it looks like a side effect of some choice of build option chosen by a particular user who is creating their own version of mplayer. Since the mplayer has been built by Andrew for Vortext box the question should be bounced back to him - why change mplayer default settings compared to standard version ? I haven't done much checking but the following are places I would suspect. * It may be related to DVD or Blu ray support. * It may be some choice in libavcodecs library build. * Another slim possibility is that it has been set up in the mplayer config files ~/.mplayer/conf or /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf The command "mplayer -format help" lists all the support output format but doesn't state which is the default. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101352 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

VortexBox 2.3/Fedora 20 uses a squeezelite-1.6 rpm that was built by Andrew Gillis, the VortexBox developer.

That makes sense. I had actually downloaded an updated squeezelite binary for the Vamp, and looking at the squeezelite page, it seems that the pre-built binaries do not include the ffmpeg libraries. So that would explain it. tdurdenj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62804 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101352 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] PlayWMA Fix
Thanks for this plugin, bpa! Yes, definitely an mplayer issue. It looks like I'm running MPlayer SVN-r36573-4.8.2. I'm sure that my previous VortexBox build was probably running a different mplayer, which might be why it worked there. Too bad mplayer isn't more consistent. I'm coming to the squeezebox game a little late, and don't actually have any hardware players. I'm running the VortexBox to serve a couple Android devices running the SqueezePlayer app as well as a PogoPlug VAMP running squeezelite. The built-in squeezelite player on the VortexBox played my wma's without any trouble, but the others weren't able to do it. I thought it was odd that squeezelite on the VortexBox could handle them, but the squeezelite on the Vamp could not. tdurdenj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62804 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101352 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] PlayWMA Fix
This sounds like an mplayer issue. To help others you should also include the mplayer version and build as different buidls have used different options. Are you using a SliMP3 or SB1 player ? For Vortexbox players, I would expect Vortexbox to have added the WMA as a "native" format to its player. PlayWMA which should only be necessary for older h/w SB players. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101352 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] PlayWMA Fix
I just installed VortexBox 2.3 and noticed that my WMAs were not playing with the PlayWMA plugin like they did on VortexBox 2.2. After some digging around I found that when PlayWMA invoked mplayer, it was sending what I think were 32 bit float PCM files for conversion by flac, instead of the 16 bit PCM that flac was expecting. Conversion to mp3 would work, as apparently lame doesn't care what kind of PCM files it gets. Conversion to PCM/WAV produced sound, but it was all staticky and tdurdenj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62804 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101352 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
