Transcoding involves AAC to PCM and then PCM to Flac and then sending Flac to player. AAC to PCM does not require much processing and IIRC LMS build for ARm doesn't use Floating point. PCM to Flac require more processing and this might be the problem - try disabling AAC toi Flac in LMS Settings/Advanced/Filetypes - send PCM will load your network even more so you need a good network. Another possible problem could be your network if it is capable of delivering Flac stream to Player. - what is signal quality on SB3 ? Is Pi also wireless to router ? What OS is on your Pi - are you using the hard float or soft float ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102211 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
