Ok, I see. Thanks, highly appreciated! So, I need to install some codecs for Squeezelite to be able to decode the files natively? Or I just let LMS do the transcoding? Anyway, I need to find a way to start Squeezelite on NAS boot, if I can't get the Local Player plugin to start. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thorden's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66927 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97766 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
