After a lot of reading through these forums, and finally working out how
to get C3PO working I was able to get Qobuz running through Inguz.
Qobuz streams in flac, and I found that when I changed the file types
for flac to stop LMS transcoding to mp3 or PCM then no music played
C3PO has a handy feature which allows you to see the command last run
for trancoding a song. This allows you to definitively confirm that the
setup is working and Maroc had posted a config to convert from Qobuz to
DSD. I am not using DSD - but in the post marcoc1712 indicated that the
flac settings for Qobuz needed to be different to regular file streams.
I ended up finding this entry in the Inguz Plugin.pm perl script. the
first 3 lines are the original command (starting flc flc*..) I commented
out the client parameter to stop the command being applied to any
player. The second command (also starting flc flc *) is the command for
trancoding and piping flac to Inguz.
flc flc * CommentedOut
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [$CONVAPP$] -id "CommentedOut"
-wav -wavo -d 24 | [flac] -cs -0 --totally-silent -
flc flc * $CLIENTID$
# FRI
[flac] -dcs --totally-silent $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [$CONVAPP$] -id
"$CLIENTID$" -wav -wavo -d 24 | [flac] -cs -0 --totally-silent -
I also found the equivalent entries in the custom-convert.conf file also
located in the Inguz plugin folder. The time you need to replace both
$CLIENTID statements with the PlayerID. You may need to repeat on the
server cache too. The entry will look like this
flc flc * 84:39:be:67:5c:ea
# FRI
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [InguzDSP] -id
"84:39:be:67:5c:ea" -wav -wavo -d 24 | [flac] -cs -0 --totally-silent -
So this definitely works, but there is a downside. The flac streams are
no longer interactive. You can play and pause, but if you try and click
on the playing progress bar to move further down a track then the player
simply moves onto the next track ( I like exploring new music through
auto-plalylists so often find boring/annoying music and want to see if
it gets better).
So I may need to do further tests to see if I can fix this.
