My original request to Philippe to take a look at the possibilities of a lossless stream had a very specific http-client target in mind: Amazon Echo endpoints. While Echos could already handle HD/lossless streams from e.g. Amazon HD, indie skills not rooted in big corporate had no access to an interface to point an Echo at a lossless stream. That changed recently, meaning that my MediaServer skill could now send lossless audio from LMS to Echos if I had a /stream.flac route. Via Paul Webster's trick of having the skill create a request-specific PLS file at a remote https endpoint, the Echo downloads the PLS which has a playable entry "http://lmsip:9000/stream.mp3?player=Alexa"; on the user's LAN. The idea is to have a lossless streaming equivalent available so that Amazon Echos become HD-capable players for LMS users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114590 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
