As far as I understand it, the playmp4 plugin creates a line which uses ffmpeg for converting the mp4 stream in flac or pcm. For the touch and the radio there is no need for converting as they can play it native. the Transporter or the receiver cannot, so for them there is need for the conversion. For some reason the command line using faad (whatever that may be) does not work with the stream presented by the mixcloud plugin. FFmpeg can handle this, so that's why you need ffmpeg for conversion. That said, for me the plugin works unreliable, most of the streams stopping after 20 min. I thought I had it fixed, but it stays unreliable. @bpa I don't know if the plugin is presented in 8.1 I had already installed it before I did an upgrade to 8.1. So not sure if that's a bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cortegedusage's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69028 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88286 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
