With Trascoding settings are you referring to Server Settings > Advanced Settings > File Types? If so, how could you do more than enabling/disabling file conversion without first code them in some .conf file? Anyway, my idea is to have a single page replacing also this part of code, here you first could select what your settings are for: all players, specific model or a single player, then you have the list of file types that could be read, for each of them you have a dropbox with all the availlable settings (profiles) you could use to stream that specific file type, listed in the suggested order, maybe you could also put a warning signe on some of them and show a message or an hint that explain why they are not the first choice in every situation. You could have a sort of hineritance from all players to specific one. When considered safe and meaningfull, you could then enable some additional settings for resampling. Maybe, you could also add an "EXPERT" function that allow people to add new profiles (as today in custom-convert.conf) but in that case you could clearly state that they could broke the system and they will not receive support in this case, set a flag ant show it in your app with a red, blinking warning message. Sure, we are going to provvide the "reset to standard setting" function... Will this system be any safer for you? WIll prevent any tweak? No, sure it will not, but... ____________________________________________________________ SB+, Klimo Merlino + Kent Gold, Monitor Audio Studio 20 Gold SE+, Klimo reference and DIS Interconnect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marcoc1712's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104227 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
