>From memory, the custom-convert.conf that Inguz installs contains an
error regarding the ALAC files. Some years ago LMS went over to using a
tweaked faad.exe to transcode ALAC files but the Inguz
custom-convert.conf was never amended to reflect that change. I am
assuming that the change happened before 7.7.5 as that would explain
your ALAC problem.
I don't use ALAC files myself but once helped another forum member out
over this issue - but it was many years ago and I can't find the post or
the necessary edit. However, you could try the following.
I use LMS 7.9 and Windows 7 64 bit. In this setup the Inguz
custom-convert.conf is in folder C:\Program Files
(x86)\Squeezebox\server\Plugins\InguzEQ.
Before trying out any edits I strongly suggest you make a backup of the
Inguz custom-convert.conf file.
If you open the file in Notepad you should see a section something like
this:
Code:
--------------------
alc flc * 00:04:20:23:9b:46
# F
[alac] $FILE$ | [InguzDSP] -id "00:04:20:23:9b:46" -wav -wavo -d 24 |
[flac] -cs -5 --totally-silent -
--------------------
Where 00:04:20:23:9b:46 is the MAC address of the player.
You could try editing this to:
Code:
--------------------
alc flc * 00:04:20:23:9b:46
# F
[faad] -q -w -f 1 $FILE$ | [InguzDSP] -id "00:04:20:23:9b:46" -wav
-wavo -d 24 | [flac] -cs -5 --totally-silent -
--------------------
(The changes are shown in red.)
You will need to do this for each player in the custom-convert.conf
file.
As I said, I don't use ALAC files so I can't test this - so it is very
much suck it and see. (And do make sure you make a backup copy of the
original file before doing any edits.)
