Hi bpa
Just to let you know I decided to rebuild LMS & downloaded the latest
image from max2play & all is now well with HiRes playback :-)
Just need to reconfigure it now :-(
Thanks for your help!

I got my Odroid up and running max2play Ubuntu 14.04. Didn't go through
the max2play registration etc but downloaded the LMS verison of flac and
sox for both soft and hard float and the transcoding chain worked
without any problems even with 5.1 flac files.
The flac version was 1.2.1 and sox

Reviewing some of the posts. Assuming trasncode chain works OK and you
can record from plughw:0 from a shell prompt.The issue might be
permissions. Some distros require user to belogn to group such as audio
to access some hardware since LMS is being run by a different userid
perhaps it does

Ignore the comments about plughw:0 and permissions - I've got mixed up
with two thread which have similar transcoding issues.
However testing the whole transcoding chain on an odroid is stilluseful.

Hi bpa
Managed to run the commands you mentioned earlier using PuTTY/ssh.
Both the flac & sox commands brought up help files.
The -a command line gave:
71-Episode V - The Asteroid Field HiRes.flac: done
omplete
The letter "c" was missing, no other information was given.
Yeah that particular file is 24/192, others I have that are 96kHz don't
play either.
Wouldn't the fact that the file plays fine through VLC indicate that the
file is valid?

Not necessarily VLC takes the approach to try at all costs to play a
file sometimes ignoring
It's an Odroid U3 & max2play is version 2.27.

Using "FLAC Frontend" all the files "test" OK.
Also the Christopher Tree file that JJZolx linked to earlier wont play
either but also tests OK.
Perhaps it's a hardware issue or the image I'm using has been corrupted,
I'll reburn the image when I get a moment to play.

During playback there is silence from both my Classic or Boom & the time
indicator remains at zero, the progress bar of the web interface however
does advance.
It may well be that the Odroid isn't up to re-sampling.
I've posted in the max2play thread & will see what their thoughts are.
I'll post

If odroid was too slow you would usually get burst of
What actually happens during playback? Do you get noise or nothing at
all? In the web interface, does the progress bar advance or stay at
zero?
Is there any possibility that the Odroid just doesn't have the
horsepower to transcode and re-sample those files?

It would better if you analyse your file through the LMS flac in case
there is an encoding issue. It doesn't have to be run on the odroid -
you could run flac on your laptop assuming you
I've managed to get similar output to yours with an invalid Flac file.
Your post say the file is a 192Khz sampling rate - you seem to think it
is 96Khz ?
Is it 192kHz 1 channel rather than 96Khz 2 channel ?
How many bytes per sample ? 24 bit can be saved as zero filled 32 bit
samples but flac

Looking in more detail - The "D" and "T" option are related to trying

Depends on your system, how it is setup and how you access it.
You haven't given much detail on your system except that it is an Odoid,
Do you not have a screen and keyboard attached to the system ?

max2play on a Pi can definitely transcode with no issue. I am sure it
should on Odroid also.

The log has a number of attempts when there should only be one - so I'm
not sure whether LMS is having serious problems or whether you tried to
play multiple file.
Did you try multiple times ? If so please just do one file as asked and
save in a plain text file not a word doc.
However, there

Not sure why it would try multiple times on a single file (even though I
always found that transcoding logging to be nearly indecipherable), but
just checking to see whether the flac and sox binary executables are
installed sounds like a very good idea.

bpa, If you try it on your own system with default settings and no
custom-convert file, you'll likely the same in your server log. I just
tried it myself and get much the same log output.

Should the downsampling of 24-bit/96kHz material to 24-bit/48kHz occur

I haven't altered any of the File Format Conversion settings & I'm

The Touch it is, it comes with ir just like the SB3 .
(and can be controlled by controllers smatphones web interfaces et al
just like the SB3).
Soundquality is said to be improved and it can stream 24/96 to a
suitable DAC.
It can also play those files trough it's own 24/96 Dac

Hi
I just noticed when I play a 24bit/96khz flac file on my SB classic'
the file info says that the bitrate was changed from 1387kbs to
704kbs.. what gives? can the SB classic output a true 24bit/96khz pcm
signal from a flac file through the spdif digital output? or does it
downscale it to
It's downscaled to 24/48 the 704kb info is bogus a cosmetic bug that
nobody fixes.
24/192 and 24/96 is downscaled to 24/48
24/172.4 and 24/88.2 is downscaled to 24/44.1
Note that a squeezebox always output 24bit at 100% volume so 16bit
sources are padded to 24bit, this is withing the spdif
No, the Squeezebox Classic doesn't support 96kHz playback. Only the
Transporter, Touch and Radio do. So the server downsamples the
24-bit/96kHz material to 24-bit/48kHz. It makes sense that the
streaming bitrate would be approximately halved when going from 96kHz
to 48kHz.
The bitrate
Note that Radio is also only 24/48. Transporter and Touch are the only
devices that support up to 24/96.
