I am finding that using PCM instead of flac reduces it even further, and appears to even out the load versus flac when more than one stream is playing. BUT this will require a change to the existing PCM transcoding line, from u16le to s16le, which bpa advises elsewhere will be done in v1.02 of the plugin, AND it seems one must disable the flac transcoding, which can be done within LMS server settings - 'file types' section. So that may be worth considering if you anticipate playing several streams at once. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38299 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103158 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
