[SlimDevices: Touch] Client restricted due to licensing restrictions (are you not in the US)?

2020-10-19 Thread MannyL


All of a sudden starting today, all 3 of my Touch devices are displaying
the following when trying to access Pandora through them:

CLIENT RESTRICTED DUE TO LICENSING RESTRICTIONS (ARE YOU NOT IN THE US)?

31897

I am also receiving the same message when trying to access Pandora
through Logitech Media Server.

Any ideas as to what is going on?

Thank you so much !  It is clear now. :)

I think you are mixing up "sample rate" and "bit rate"

Sample rate is the number of audio sample per sec to make up audio
stream e.g. CD 44,100  16 bit samples 

The audio stream of a specific sample rate can then be compressed (lossy
or lossless) into data stream of bits which has a data rate or bit rate
(i.e. kbits/sec).  The slower the data rate the greater the
compression.

Bit rate was important was using live stream such with digital radio DAB
or TV DVB as player had no buffers - bandwidth of transmission medium
(e.g. satellite, terrestrial) restricted data rate of compressed audio
stream of typically 44.1Khz / 48kHz 16 bit.

Touch is a buffered played so data is sent in bursts so bit rate is not
sdignificant.
Touch will decode the data streams and output the audio sample rate of
the data streams - realtime audio sample rate of 44.1Khz 16 bit will be
sent from digital output regards of whether the data source is 
PCM - 1411k
Flac - about 700kb (can vary according to compression level ) 
MP3 - typically from 32kbs up to 320kbs

CBR will have a maximum data rate,  VBR will be varying but an average
data rate as speced - again the realtime audio sample rate after
decompressing will be same as source 44.1Khz 16bit

FLAC files have a lower bitrate than wave but are lossless.
