I'm not sure if something recently changed in the firmware or in the actual Sirius streams, but the built-in WMA decoding in SB2/3/Transporters is now able to stream Sirius streams direct (disabling built-in wma is no longer required). I have tested this using the release version of 6.5.1 (build 11206) on a Windows machine.
I "believe" I tried the 6.5.1 release previously and it did not work, so my guess is that something changed on Sirius' end that allowed the built-in decoding to handle the streams. Soooo... you can go ahead and re-enable the built-in wma decoding if you previously disabled it! In my experience streams start up much quicker and for whatever reason visualization plugins are more responsive. Synced players seem to work fine. I'm not sure if the server settings for buffering/timeouts are followed with direct streaming, so if you experience more dropouts you can always go back and disable the built-in wma decoding. I haven't yet investigated seeing if song title info can be pulled directly from the stream (would this occur automatically?). -Greg -- GoCubs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20621 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
