Many thanks to bps for the plugin. The plugin works fine, but I am having trouble getting ffmpeg to work on my Atom D510 Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) server. Trying to listen to BBC radio channels via the plugin on my squeezebox radio produces brief snippets of audio interspersed with long "connecting/buffering" gaps.
When I try using ffmpeg from the command line, e.g. ffmpeg -i hls1.addictradio.net/addictalternative_aac_hls/playlist.m3u8 -f flac -compression_level 0 somefile.flc (with the http in front) I get "skipping 2 segments ahead, expired from playlists" type messages. A flac file is produced, but this contains "glitches" every ten seconds - corresponding to the individual files making up the stream, I suppose. This occurs whether using the ffmpeg 2.5.4 that I built on the machine or the static build from johnvansickle. The same ffmpeg binary works fine on my Intel i3 Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) server, producing a file with no glitches and a windows build works fine on my i5 Windows 7 desktop PC, so I assume the problem is with the Atom D510. However, some people seem to be reporting success with equally weak CPUs which is perplexing. Moreover, top shows ffmpeg hat it is using very little CPU while running on the D510, (ffmpeg very occasional spikes to 11% CPU) with the overall CPU below 20% at all times. Any suggestions gratefully received. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tiepx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64027 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103158 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
