If running both LMS and Squeezelite in same Pi - then you could disable flac encoding so that HLS/AAC is decoded once to PCM by ffmpeg and then passed straight through squeezelite - this will work no matter what encoding format is in HLS stream. For compression level see this http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?53229-Announce-BBCiPlayer-Plugin-(UK-only)&p=807192&viewfull=1#post807192 and this http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?103158-Announce-PlayHLS-Plugin-plugin-to-play-Apple-HLS-m3u8-stream&p=807730&viewfull=1#post807730. for "hls aac" - this will assume that HLS stream always AAC - this is not always the case so check your URL befoee playing. see http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?53229-Announce-BBCiPlayer-Plugin-(UK-only)&p=807483&viewfull=1#post807483 also see http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?53229-Announce-BBCiPlayer-Plugin-(UK-only)&p=807479&viewfull=1#post807479 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103158 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
