bpa, If you're running both LMS and squeezelite on the single core RPi, playing a BBC HLS stream is a significant additional load. The load fluctuates, but keeps peaking around 80% for the total system. It's much lower for 320kps mp3 or 320kps AAC.
I edited the custom.conf file to add the "-compression_level" setting, but this makes little difference to the total system load as observed in htop. > > The heavy lifting is done by ffmpeg producing a transcoded Flac stream > so if it breaks with changing bitrates, gapless etc. then we'll know it > is ffmpeg fault and report problems/provides fixes to ffmpeg community. > > To minimise transcoding there can be a "hls aac" File Type setting which > uses ffmpeg to handle the HLS protocol and pass the resulting audio byte > stream straight to a player - this assume an URL has an AAC encoding but > a HLS stream can contain MP3 or AC-3 so this is possible future issue. > As BBC HLS streams are a wrapper for AAC , what would you write in the custom.conf file for a "hls aac" File Type setting and what, if anything, should be set in the LMS WebGUI to use this setting. I'd like to see how this would reduce the RPi system load when playing a BBC HLS stream. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Krisbee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103158 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
