LMS can apply any conversion application to a file or stream results in a bitstream which LMS then copies to all players.
* When playing a stream or a file LMS has to assign a file type so that it know which conversion rules applies. * There can be only one filetype assigned to a specific file/stream. * LMS will process the file/stream accordingto the filetype and the capabilities of the player. * For a file type conversion there can be specific rules for a specific device - identified by MAC address. AFAICT you want LMS to behave different depending on whether you have a 5.1 capable DAC attached to an SB box through a spdif connection. However LMS can't tell - so you need to identify to LMS which player has the multichannle DAC - I suggest use MAC address. I think (not sure and haven't tested) the only way that it could happen if you 1. Create a new filetype for your multichannel files (e.g. use a special suffix and add to a custom-types.conf and add necessary text in custom-strings.txt ) . 2. Create conversion rules to convert this new filetype to 2 channel for all players 3. Have a specific rule for player with specific MAC address (the player which has mulitchannle capable DAC attached) which passes mulitchannle stream through. These additional rules are in a custom-convert.conf file. I don't know what happens with syncing in this case - you need to do some test to see if MAC address rule still applies within a synced group and whether it depends on which player is "master". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105300 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
