Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Logitech Media Server 8.0.0 released!
I have upgraded from 7.9.4 to 8.0.1 with no problems. Thanks, the online music library integration is great! I have one question. I have the Play Windows Media (v1.1) plugin installed. Everything still works (i.e. I can play WMA files with the new version of Squeezelite) but if I look at "File Types" under the Advanced tab, I see double entries under WMA that weren't there under 7.9.x: 32318 Is this by design to show that a custom-convert.conf has been applied? +---+ |Filename: Screenshot_2020-11-25 Server Settings.png| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=32318| +---+ coyrls's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44253 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113282 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

There are no MQA files on Qobuz; they are all flac. Note MQA is not the same as high resolution, which is available on Qobuz and Tidal but all high resolution files on Qobuz are flac, not MQA.

Yes it is (with a plugin) and works well.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Problem playing WMA files
To play WMA files under Pcp 7.0.0 you need to: 1) Install the Play Windows Media LMS plugin 2) Install the pcp-ffmpeg.tcz Extension In addition, if you have any embedded jpgs in your WMA files (e.g. album covers), you will need to edit the custom-covert.conf file installed by the Play Windows Media Plugin, which you can find in /usr/local/slimserver/Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/PlayWMA for Pcp 7.0.0. The reason you need to make the edit is that by default when converting WMA to Flac, ffmpeg will convert any embedded jpgs to png format. The version of ffmpeg installed in Pcp 7.0.0 doesnt support jpg to png conversion and so the WMA to Flac conversion fails. The solution is to add the -nv option so that only the audio is converted. You need to change the Flac conversion in custom-covert.conf from: Code: [ffmpeg] -v 0 -$START$ -i $PATH$ -f flac to: Code: [ffmpeg] -v 0 -vn $START$ -i $PATH$ -f flac - coyrls's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44253 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113883 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Before that it's just a feeling, but not facts ;-).

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] How random is random?
I think the "shuffle" described by the Spotify engineer is the effect that people want from a "random" option. 2-4 seconds is not something to worry about in my opinion but for those with "legacy" CPUs, I think there should be the option to choose a "simple random" option. coyrls's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44253 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114355 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
