I originally posted my query here https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?116047-iPeng-and-Playback-on-MacOS%97stream-problem but I suspect I should have asked here. So
Im running iPeng on my MacBook Air M1 and using the Playback facility to make it a player. But I have a problem with it crashing when I try to play certain radio streams. (I should add that I can play any and every one of these streams perfectly well using iPeng with Playback on iOS devices, like my iPhone or iPad. Its only when I try Playback on the Mac that I hit the problem.) Ive tried to find common factors among the relevant streams, and quality seems to be one. All my 44.1 kHz streams play perfectly (for example Europa Jazz). The 48 kHz streams do not play (for example D-Dur Classical), nor does a 96 kHz one (Mother Earth). They do not play and they crash iPeng. The behaviour seems to be that when I play one of these higher-rate streams, it will instantly jump to a point a minute or two into the stream, and start counting down as if playing, but with no audio. The controls in iPeng for pause etc are frozen; it's crashed. Really frustrating! The codec does not seem to be a factorsome OGG streams play (for example Juke), some do not (CRo Jazz); some AAC streams play (for example Jazz24), some do not (Classic Jazz Radio). Im connecting the laptop to LMS via wifi, so in iPeng Playbacks player prefs I have bitrate limiting for wifi set to off. A responder at the other thread suggested setting LMSs Streaming Method to Proxied under Player/Settings/Audio, but that made no difference. On the laptop, in Audio MIDI Setup I have my headphone output set to 96kHz 2ch 32-bit Float, which is the highest possible. Ive tried it at the other options, 44.1, 48, and 88.2, and that seems to make no difference. I really want to use iPeng like this on my laptop with headphones for my radio streams, which I have collected as Favourites sourced from the excellent Radio Now Playing app. Any ideas whats going on here? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ whitman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9053 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929
