That would allow remote streams to be transcoded? I mentioned this before: I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if that simply was unimaginable back in the days when that convert.conf was created. Would it work for you? I know that some people are having issues streaming Radio Paradise flac stream to some of your bridges, as it would require transcoding. Feel free to play with that file (you can use a custom-convert.conf to override defaults). I'd be happy to modify it if I knew it was working fine.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Ultralight LMS skin v0.3.2 released
For server duties, I really would not recommend using the audio version, but if it's working for you, great. The 4.0.0 beta might be a bit more stable too. Anyway, this is pretty straightforward. For pCP, we have defined a special plugin directory for manual plugins.Make sure LMS is setup and running. Open an SSH session to your device.and do the following. Note the the Cache folder is a symlink to persistent storage, so your directory will look a little different.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Why no transcoding wav & flc on stdin?
Is there a reason why there is no rule in main convert.conf like:
Code:
flc mp3 * *
# IB:{BITRATE=--abr %B}D:{RESAMPLE=--resample %D}
[flac] -dcs - | [lame] --silent -q $QUALITY$ $RESAMPLE$ $BITRATE$ - -
wav mp3 * *
# IB:{BITRATE=--abr %B}D:{RESAMPLE=--resample %D}
[lame] --silent -q $QUALITY$ $RESAMPLE$ $BITRATE$ - -
That would allow remote streams to be transcoded?
I hit that issue with Shairtunes2/Group, using bitrate limitation. I
realized that when setting a limit to say 128kbits, on a large group,
and sending from Shairport, the limitation was ignored if the source was
flac (was using flc-flc empty rule) or streaming was failing if the
source was wav (no wav-wav rule).
I had a few other mistakes corrected in Shairtunes2, but such rule was
obviously needed.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Podcast streams are interrupted every ~10m recently. How do I diagnose the issue?
Interestingly, the problem seems to have gone away. I was able to listen for a couple hours this morning without a glitch. Yesterday afternoon after flashing my router, I did retry and had the problem again. However, I was still fiddling around and at one point my router would no longer get a DHCP address request from the cable internet provider. I pinged their customer service but hold times were too long and I gave up waiting after 30 minutes. However, later in the evening, the Internet was restored. I wonder if something on the provider side was rebooted and contributed both to the DHCP issue *and* the streaming glitch. Dunno. Will see if it holds together. I don't like that it just magically seems to work again without getting a root cause of the issue. *Kitchen:* Squeezebox Touch > Cambridge Audio DacMagic > Rotel RC-1070 pre > Rotel RB-1080 amp > Axiom M100 *Basement:*Squeezebox Classic > Sony integrated amp > Paradigm in-ceiling speakers *Upstairs:*Squeezebox v2 > Athem AVM 60 > Bryston 9B SST > Totem Forest *Computer:*Squeezebox Classic > Tapco S5 monitors *Bathroom:*Squeezebox Boom arthurc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68291 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109258 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Gain Reduction:3, Loudness Gain:0, Loudness Reference:60 just reduce the gain by 3db, this could sound a bit smoother, but to enable the loudness effect you should provide a loudness gain. Is the tick at every strat end of a track or only at the first track in a new playlist? If second, try to remove -C from squeezelite command line, if is there. If this is not the case or it does not solve, please post the C-3PO last executed command and the squeezelite command line please.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Dropped packets on server
Quick update. I got rid of this weird behavior, which was b.t.w. not only occurring with the LMS clients but also when I did a service scan on the server from my phone, by enabling IGMP snooping on my router. I was pointed in this direction by reading about comparable behavior (although not the same ethertype) on some other website. I have no clue why it's working, but the dropped packets on my LMS server are gone now. vco1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68036 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109279 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] C-3PO plugin, a trnscoding helper.
I see where you are going Marco. I tried the different combinations and could see the difference. My equipment is quite transparent and resolving: Vortexbox server (Squeezelite) ->Lynx AES -> Yggdrasil DAC -> Yamaha As2100 amp -> Yamaha NS1000x speakers. The DAC and Speakers provide tons of details and resolution. Hence after trying the different combinations, i settled on the following setting: Gain Reduction:3, Loudness Gain:0, Loudness Reference:60. I also like the combination number 6 above.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Ultralight LMS skin v0.3.2 released
Hello, I've been in the throes of trying to get the LMS ultralight skin running on PiCorePlayer 3.5 (audio optimised). If possible, could you please help with a detailed outline for installing ultralight LMS skin ? A "for dummies" approach would be fantastic. :D >From the online how to's, i've managed to get piCorePlayer up and running with LMS playing files from a USB drive. And unfortunately thats where it all ends. I've downloaded the LMS ultralight files, extracted them... On a micro SD card, i've put the files / and another folder (with the files) in: cache/ templates/use/local/slimserver/Slim/Pligin to no avail. It was not picked up in the settings -> plugins tab. Its been like a learning abstract math in a foreign language class. :eek: hifix's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68362 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109190 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
