Please could someone explain how those compare?
armv5 are low powered CPU and I think the processor cannot decode and re-encode the stream into Flac fast enough. ffmpeg is a big application built for processors with FPUs so unless there is a specially tuned build available for your system you have two choices 1. Just use the MP3 streams 2. Disable Flac stream and Play the PCM stream - this may not work as resampling may need to happen which is also processor intensive also v1.01 of the plugin needs a patch to play PCM correctly. A PCM stream may also be too much for your network / players. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
