Thanks - I've put it back to 255 after some failed tests.
I have tried running squeezelite on the same computer as LMS using the Local Player plugin without resamping, with and without direct access to LMS files, and got 404s each time. I then tried running squeezelite as a separate service and at higher priority. That was better, lasting around 30 minutes, but it still stopped. I then tried squeezelite on another computer, and it worked fine. I can only conclude that something about have the audio streaming on the same system as LMS is causing problems when the plugin is providing flacs. I have no idea what or why. I can run the standard aac stream without any problems to a local squeezelite. LMS 7.9.1 on VortexBox Midi box, Xubuntu 17.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. Touch & EDO. 2nd Touch standard. LMS plugin UPnP/DLNA Bridge to MF M1 CLiC (to A308CR amp & ESLs) & Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers. Alternatively Minimserver & Upplay to same & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers. Squeezelite to Meridian USB Explorer DAC to PC speakers/headphones. Wireless Xubuntu 17.04 laptop firefox/upplay or Android 'phone with Squeeze-Commander/BubbleUPnP controls LMS/Minimserver. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104672 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
