I've read everything I can find on the forums,but I am still unable play .m4a files (which I believe are also AAC files) on SC 7.3.1 on an EeePC 4G with Squeezebox Duet. Didnt work on 7.3 either, so I just upgraded to 7.3.1. I have mplayer installed, but the following edits to custom-convert.conf:
ape wav * * [mplayer] -novideo -ao pcm:nowaveheader:file=/dev/fd/4 $FILE$ 4>&1 1>/dev/null alc wav * * [mplayer] -novideo -ao pcm:nowaveheader:file=/dev/fd/4 $FILE$ 4>&1 1>/dev/null mov wav * * [mplayer] -novideo -ao pcm:nowaveheader:file=/dev/fd/4 $FILE$ 4>&1 1>/dev/null cause SC to hang at first (seemed to recover later) but didnt help to play m4a files. I do not understand how to download and where to put the codecs etc. such as faad2 and lame. Is there anywhere a simple guide to setting up SC 7.3.1 on a linux machine. I looked in the SC settings from my browser and the file types settings for AAC are greyed out, so presumbly something is missing. Is it worthwhile phoning a help line? - havnt tried yet, but I guess its better to get the forum help first. -- tony1tf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tony1tf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45387 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
