Music files File mp3 128K converted to 64K as displayed on SB3 screen. Lame launches at start of track at 90% - 99% CPU usage, and stops after 45-60 secs . When lame stops, network traffic reduces to background level from 500K, indicating that the track has been loaded into SB3 buffer. Slimserver can be stopped at this point and the track will continue to play to its end.
File wma 97K converted to 64K as displayed on SB3 screen. Lame and wmadec launch at start of track and both drop after 45-60 sec when network traffic drops from around 500K to background (9K6) as per above observation. The indicated network rate of 500K at start of track implies that bitrate limit is not actually happening. Internet Radio Streams mp3 128K converted to 64K as displayed on SB3 screen. No evidence of lame being launched at stream start; therefore conclude that the bitrate conversion is not happening. Because of buffering, it is impossible to measure the actual server output bit rate. Debug log indicates that although conversion is attempted it gives up and goes to direct mode. aac+ 32K will not run when bitrate limit set. No evidence of lame starting. wma 128K converted to 64K as displayed on SB3 screen. Lame and wmadec launched. Buffering took a long time (2mins) and when eventually loaded, the output was white noise. CPU usage 100%. Debug log attached wma 128K No limit SB3 built-in wma deselected. Network rate 1.5Mb/s - output OK. wma 128K converted to 320K as displayed on SB3 screen - SB3 built-in wma deselected. Lame and wmadec running output OK. Network rate limited to 320K. Working as it should but CPU usage is 100% - mainly lame. Conclude that an indication of conversion on the SB3 screen does not reflect the reality of any conversion or limit. The player connects directly to internet streams on any built-in protocol, and once a stream is playing, slimserver can be stopped and the music will continue for as long as the stream stays up - the information on the SB3 display is of course lost. Debugging. Debugging logs using d_directstream and d_source for mp3 and wma streams are attached. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: BRL_logs.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1781| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Ramage P2 266MHz,Linux CC 3.2, SlimServer Version: 6.3.1 - 8278, Alien 1.04 P4 2.6GHz, Win XP, Slimserver Version: 6.5.0, Alien 1.06 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ramage's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5343 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27996 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
