Quoting hualon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
And how do you tell it which to transcode to? I'd like to transcode to
MP3 on the SB1, to see if I can improve the skipping problem at the
expense of degrading sound quality.
Each player type has a list of supported formats in preferred order.
SliMP3: mp3
SB1: AIFF WAV MP3
SB2: WMA FLAC AIFF WAV MP3
Softsqueeze: FLAC AIFF WAV MP3
Server settings->file types controls the set of enabled conversions,
including built in ones. There are none for transcoding to wma, so
that gets skipped for all but native conditions. If you disable any
others, they end up skipped as well until a valid match is found by
following the priority above.
In player settings->audio, there is a setting for bitrate limiting.
This forces a maximum bitrate to be used by the stream. This setting
forces mp3 output to any player using this setting. "No Limit" allows
normal streaming, while anything else is the MP3 bitrate. Try lowering
the bitrate until you get unbroken playback. If you still have
problems, check your CPU usage in case LAME is causing the cpu to be
overworked.
Both file types and bitrate limiting will show you if you have the
needed codecs installed. in File types, any conversions that have
missing binaries will show up as disabled. If you try to enable them,
you will get an error about a missing binary. In Bitrate limiting, the
description will report on whether or not the server has found a
version of LAME that it can use. If it is not found, then it has a
link at the end. You will need lame installed in order to get MP3
output. If lame does not exist, then bitrate limiting will not work
and the server will fallback to using WAV. This might be what is
happening in your case, since a wireless connection should already
default to 320kbps mp3 and play fine.
