OK, I found the convert.conf and the types.conf files. They are now in

I took at look at the server log file and I see entries where it states
that it cannot locate Slim/Formats/Shorten.pm.
I guess there is more to this than just editing some configuration
files?

OK, so I've now eliminated the errors from the server log by copying the
Shorten.pm file from a slimserver installation. However, I still get
the error on the console about failing to write the decompressed
stream.
Any ideas? I wonder why they ripped support for SHN out of
squeezecenter. Ugh!

That's a bummer. It worked on this machine using SlimServer 6.5.4 (or
whatever the last version was before moving to squeezecenter). So I
don't think I'm seeing a problem with SHN itself.
Part of what I thought was great about the squeezebox and slimserver
was the format support. I guess I'll

If you want SHN back to exactly what was always in SS/SC, you can have
it as it was by reversing:
http://svn.slimdevices.com/?rev=12843&view=rev
This is just a change to convert.conf, types.conf and adding the
Formats/Shorten.pm module (which you've already done). Any remaining
issues re basical
I know I can convert the files with relative ease, but it was nice to
just be able to play them natively.
I've rolled back and SHN is now working again. I may move to
squeezecenter on my main server since the seemless integration of
squeezenetwork is really nice.

Hi kdf -
I changed those exact things and it didn't work. I don't know how it
could be due to the quirkyness of the format since I've done nothing
with the shorten binary and am using the same .shn file to test.
I wonder if there is a temporary file that is created as part of the
process that
... well, would be great if Slim could re-integrate shn-reading -
soo many shn files around...

How many lossless formats do we need when they're all so easily
converted to flac? Isn't SHN dead?

I think we dropped SHN support because it's a vastly inferior format to
FLAC, is not easy to parse and doesn't even support proper tags. I
think it was around before FLAC but has been surpassed by it in every
way. Time to convert your files I think.

Personally I convert all SHNs that I find into FLAC before adding them
to my library. I did that without even knowing that SHN was
unsupported -- I did it so that I'd have a smaller number of file
formats in my library, and because of FLAC's superior tagging
capabilities. For me having my music p
Yeah, these days, if I download a show that's in SHN format, the first
thing I do is convert to flac, so I can tag, then I add to the library.

I've got over 100 GB of shn that I would prefer not to convert if I
don't have to. I enjoyed the SHN support that existed in the previous
versions.
I read through this thread and don't quite understand what needs to be
modified in order to get shn working. Has anyone had success with
this?
