I never used / looked into spottify plugin, but this is the line used to produce pcm: spt pcm * * # R noArgs, T START=--start-position %s [spotty] -n Squeezebox -c "$CACHE$" --single-track $FILE$ --bitrate 320 --disable-discovery --disable-audio-cache $START$ You have a 'spotty' application that could handle 'spt' format and produce raw pcm in output. Sure is possible to integrate 'spt' and 'spotty' in C-3PO, but it will require some code and time, at present you could do the same adding a copy of the above line tocustom_convert.conf command, then 'pipe' everything you like to it. ________________________________________________________________________ Author of C-3PO plugin, Squeezelite-R2, Falcon Web interface - See www.marcoc1712.it ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marcoc1712's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105309 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
