Could be a potential problem i LMS also runs on the PI . Is LMS running elsewhere it handles the transcoding on that system ( and thats systems limitiations apply ) . PI can transcode just fine but if several separate needs arise to older players etc or if you use some obscure formats , ie in cas

Codec support on the Pis depends on the software stack not hardware, and the SB3 is likely to be your limiting factor in terms of codec support anyway. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~13

There is no need to transcode at all if you are playing to a Pi. The resampling from 192 kHz to 48 kHz shouldn't be a problem either, the Pi only has to do it for its own player. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPe

2017-06-12 Thread s2kiwi
Hi all, I'm setting up a multi-room system with 8 zones/players. I was asking elsewhere in the forum if 8 is realistic and the answers generally come back to bandwidth and whether the players can natively transcode the streams. I have no idea on the transcoding question so thought I'd ask if any
