Hi Guys,
Broadband is 2mb downstream, 3k upstream
LAME quality is 9
Bitrate is 192kbps reliably, but occasionally can hit 256kpbs (as you
state)

I'm curious as well. Can you also tell us the speed, incoming and
outgoing, of your home Internet connection?
I filed a bug/enhancement request that the default mp3 transcoding rate
be lowered from 320kbps to something more likely to work with most home
Internet connections. At home I have a
Can you describe your slimserver set up?
My guess is that you have SlimServer installed on a PC at home, running
on a LAN behind a broadband router of some description...
If that is the case, unless you have stupendous amounts of upload
bandwidth in your broadband connection to the 'net, and you
Chris,
Thanks for you reply.
I was guessing it was a bitrate issue - the basic connectivity is fine
(the setup is as you describe, but without SSH) as mp3 works well.
I did try transporting FLAC via mp3 but as you said I need LAME
installed - could you send me the details on how to do this?
Installing lame is pretty straight forward; you basically download it,
and drop it in the bin directory for slimserver and restart slim.
Here is one place you can download from:

Yeah, you should probably leave the server config stuff alone, except
that you should make sure that under Server Settings - File Types that
you have FLAC to MP3 selected (i.e under the File Format heading, FLAC
is selected, and under the corresponding Stream Format heading, MP3 is
Yes, Server Settings - File Types is a GLOBAL setting and will affect
all players.
To enable bitrate limiting, use Player Settings for the desired player
- Audio - LAME Quality Level and Bitrate Limiting sections near the
bottom. Try the highest bitrate setting to start, then work your way
down

Just to clarify - as I don't see this mentioned anywhere in this thread
- you can't stream FLAC (or anything except mp3) from slimserver to a
non-slim client (e.g. Winamp or iTunes). That doesn't mean you can't
play FLAC files, just that you must have lame setup (as described
