I looked at the XP installer of AlienBBC and this is the line that it
puts in the slimserver-custom.conf:
Code:
--------------------
[mplayer] -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -cache 128 -af
volume=0,resample=44100:0:1,channels=2 -ao pcm:nowaveheader:file=#PIPE# $FILE$
--------------------
So it looks like they are just handing the output from mplayer to
#PIPE# which you can just drop into my settings.
I downloaded the windows build of mplayer here:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/win32/
and it transcodes both AAC and ALAC files fine from the command line
using my settings. Here is the command line options I used if you
would like to test it yourself, it will take the "test.m4a" file and
output it to "test.wav" just to show that it works. The output file
will be in the mplayer.exe directory. Replace the info between the "'s
with the location of the file you would like to convert.
Code:
--------------------
mplayer.exe -novideo -vc dummy -vo null -cache 128 -af
volume=0,resample=44100:0:1,channels=2 -ao pcm:waveheader:file=test.wav
"C:\Documents and Settings\Thomas\Desktop\test.m4a"
--------------------
To use this with slimserver you should just need to set the output to
file=#PIPE#
Let me know how you make out with this. I am intersted in knowing if
it is just that simple.
