What format will initially depend somewhat on the menu you have used to play the stream. If it is the Logitech BBC Radio App - then it will always be WMA. If it is used the Tune-in then it can be AAC or WMA. If it is using the BBC iPlayer plugin then it will dpeend on the settings.
When playing the fpormat is displayed intthe "more info" on what ever is controlling the stream or on the Browser interface on the RHS just under the station name - there will be the speed and format. > Also, why is it that AAC would be transcoded to Flac? That seems > wasteful as you can't create something from nothing (aka, lossless from > lossy). Might be just my misunderstanding. LMS will transcode to Flac so that no more losses will be introduced i.e sound quality is kept as best as possible. If you transcode to MP3 then sound quality will be worse than that broadcasted. > Also, why would AAC cancel the proxy buffer settings? LMS will not be proxying because it will be transcoding in LMS and then sending Flac stream. Radio Streram buffer timeout is for streams which go directly from Station to player (i.e. audio does not go through local LMS) - transcoding means data first arrives in LMS and is then transcoded. > Last thought ...

Without details of network or LMS server, all I can do is highligh possible issues. It is up to you to research them. Change to WMA and if issue goes away then you know it is either CPU and/or network. It is possible that two flac streams is overloading your network or the duet signal is just not quite of Flac. That is for you to investigate (e.g. use LMS network load test) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97350 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
