I'm trying to stream Spotify via SqueezePlayer and face some strange problems. Maybe you can help me finding out the cause?
When I start a stream via Spotify it plays too fast in the beginning. For me it sounds like a lot of frames are dropped. This settles down after some waiting time when the song starts to play correctly without dropping frames. The spotifyd log has a lot of the following messages -------- [00:16:10.156459] music_delivery:416 called with num_frames: 2048 [00:16:10.157241] _streambuf_write:263 player: 0 wrote 2106 new bytes of 2106 min 2106 [00:16:10.157883] _streambuf_write:263 player: 0 wrote 2206 new bytes of 2206 min 2206 [00:16:10.157973] music_delivery:566 streamed frames: 643072 can't write: 16 rate: 88773 / 44100 -------- I searched that on the forum and found several threads where you are asking if FLAC tracks are streaming fine (yes they are) or if the Spotify Self Test works (for some reason it says 'Streaming from Spotify Failed' - though through starting on Squeezeboxes/SqueezePlayer gives me a stream). I finally found a thread where you ask to disable Spotify->FLAC streaming (i.e. forcing PCM streaming ... http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90895). This resolves the problem for me (yeah!!), so I think we can conclude: - Spotify download is fast enough - my network is fast enough - FLAC conversion on the server has trouble (probably my server is too slow - it's a SheevaPlug) I wouldn't expect dropped frames though, but rather many rebufferings in SqueezePlayer.
