The custom-convert.conf file overrides and augments settings in the main covert.conf file and has the same format of the convert.conf file. If you look at LMS convert.conf file in main LMS top level directory you'll see a full explanation of the file format. Answering your questions (but you read the convert,conf file for completeness) 1. There are 3 sections as they provide conversion rules for LMS to handle all types of player and settings. LMS can then choose the best format for the player according to settings (e.g. if you have a Touch - Flac conversion will be used but if bit rate limiting has been enabled for the player then the MP3 cxonversion will be chose). You can omit sections that you think will nto be used but if you forget this and later change a FileType setting for instance you may be puzzled when no audio is heard. 2. The "# R" is significant and LMS is very picky about formatting. The R indicates a Remote stream which is what Waveinput plugin is emulating (F would be a File) - see convert,.conf file for full details 3. Square brackets indicate it is an executable which should be found in the LMS Bin directory and LMS will replace with full path. No brackets and I think LMS will not find the executable and hence not be able to run the conversion. 4. You should nto need to alter this if you have an arecord command line that works - the significant parameters should be passed through the wavin: URL. What is the full "arecord" command line have you found records the audio output ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102551 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
