This is not a network issue; FLAC files are playing perfectly.
In an attempt to understand the problem better, I looked at the
transcoding commands from the log and found this
mp3 transcoding to limit bitrate - skips every 5 seconds or so
Code:
--------------------
Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::tokenizeConvertCommand2 (527) Using
command for conversion:
"C:\PROGRA~2\SQUEEZ~1\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\lame.exe" --silent -q
4 -v -B 128 --mp3input "-" -
--------------------
flac transcoding - No Skipping
Code:
--------------------
Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::tokenizeConvertCommand2 (527) Using
command for conversion:
"C:\PROGRA~2\SQUEEZ~1\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\flac.exe" -dcs --
"C:\Users\Public\Music\FLAC\BLACKD~1\01-LOV~1.FLA" |
"C:\PROGRA~2\SQUEEZ~1\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\lame.exe" --silent -q
4 -v -B 128 - - |
--------------------
The computer is a running on an Intel i3 machine with Windows 7 64
bits. I launched lame on one of the mp3 files that skips and the 5
minutes song file got converted in 10 seconds. Next, I played the
output file on the local machine and there it didn`t skip.
The faulty players are older rio receivers retrofitted with slimrio
(found here http://empeg.org.uk/slimrio/audio.html). It seems I have
narrowed the problem down to the fact that madplay is unable to decode
some files in realtime on that platform.
Anyone has another suggestion to try troubleshooting this?
Why would a FLAC transcode be easier to decode than a transcoded mp3
file?
Are there switches in the lame command that I could force to make the
file easier decode read at comparable bitrates?
Any help would be very much appreciated...
