No, that is not possible at moment.
Seems to me is not C-3PO doing transcoding here, please have a look to
the log file and see what's happen, then please post the settings.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS Volume control

2018-12-13 Thread cfuttrup


Hi pippin

Many thanks for this info, and the tip to read up about Squeezelite. Is
this documentation in the wiki:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Squeezelite  ?? ... or did you
mean to look elsewhere?

Meanwhile, I found that bit-perfect volume control requires that you add
some bits ... so that if f.eks. Squeezelite uses 32 bit representation,
it should be able to do bit-perfect volume control, as explained here:
http://www.esstech.com/files/3014/4095/4308/digital-vs-analog-volume-control.pdf

Cheers,
Claus

No - only by having a RAM disk.  But why bother - depending on the OS
much of disk access is pre-fetched & cached and LMS/Perl also buffers of
lot of a file access in RAM. Some new drive have Intel Optane support 
and if you are really worred about motors  and heads moving use an SSD
or USB stick.

As iPeng is iOS based you need to recognise that PPTP based VPN is a no
no but I can confirm that L2TP is still ok but my preferred method is
SSL VPN Tunnel as I use a high end Draytek router that supports this
(along with PPTP, L2TP and Ipsec). You need a separate app on the iPhone
to set up the SSL connection but once done it appears in the standard
VPN part of Settings.

A decent router is a very worthwhile investment.

My best guess is that some very aggressive anti-virus program is taking
over when trying to browse these files.   As suggested, try and use LMS
in the normal manner (scan your library to ingest the files, then browse
using the artist or album LMS menu rather than the music folder.  This
is just as a test to see if something odd is going on with "music
folder" approach.  

Also, make sure you don't have the "custom browse" or "custom scan"
plugins activated (at least for testing purposes).

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] C-3PO plugin, a trnscoding helper.

2018-12-13 Thread Valky


Strange situation. 
I always used C-3PO plugin only for transcoding DSD files. Recently I
set up C-3PO for transcoding 32/384 to 24/192 too. 
It works, but LMS shows that bitrate from 10726 kbps is converted to
'705 kbps FLAC'. 
What does it mean? I want it to be transcoded to 24/192.  

26240


And, at the moment, transcoding DSD files does not work anymore,
although I did not change settings for DSD.  

Why is that? 

Is it possible to have transcoding DSD files to PCM 24/88 *and*
transcoding 32/384 to 24/192 depending on source file?

A new info: some guy from other forum had the same problem as mine, and
he had to uninstall the LMS completely, clean Windows registry, than
install again - it helped him.

Yes it is abnormal so to fix it you need to try some of the
suggestions.

As mentioned earlier, browsing by music folder is not the "best" way to
use LMS - for new files it can kick off other processing activities such
as a scanner which when coupled with some forms of security s/w can slow
a system down.

Do you get a freeze when looking by album / genres ?

Is the OS up to date? When Microsoft rolls out updates, these get
installed automatically. Sometimes it is wise to do an extra reboot.
Maybe that can help.
