Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Server updates when running with --nomysqueezebox command line

[Michael Herger]

I use the noCPAN tarball, as I keep all of the binaries in a separate


Oh, you use the update checker in your build script, not in LMS...


The Update script
1) Updates itself from github
2) Grabs the update link the LMS saves via Update.pm.  Then Downloads
the noCPAN tarball
3) Downloads the other LMS customizations and init.d files from github
4) updates all of the permissions
5) Repacks the extension


But that update script is run on your end, not the user's? The latter 
would simply download the resulting tcz file?



If you were to build the tcz from the LMS build system.  Some minor
changes to the LMS customizations would be needed.  The update script
would get much smaller.  At this point, the only file likely to ever
change was the init.d script.  Not sure how we could coordinate this.


I take it from the update script that you're running it on a Pi (eg. 
checking for OpenSSL)? I might give porting it to our build system a try 
when I find a few spare cycles.

I'm just working on that matter this days.

DFF does not support tags (or better, as is per was, you could attach
some Idv3 tag someway, but is obscure and not commonly supported), cue
files maybe could supports dff, I don't know, I should try...

DFF (native) playback is supported in LMS, DOP or converted to PCM via
DSDPLAY or Squeezelite is not so clear to me, but i suppose is not (I'll
have a try shortly).

Reason why I'm not so interested in DFF or others is that I'm going to
use SOX server side to transcode to dsf or pcm from any format,
eventually resampling, this way, for instance, dff is converted on the
fly to dsf (maybe it could be better the inverse, but too much work to
do on squeezelite).

DSD (dsf or dff) id always converted to DOP or PCM in squeezelite,
depending on DAC capabilities and settings, there is no 'native' suport
even in windows with ASIO. 

Daphile has some pathces that allows you to output DSD over PCM in
Linux, but using non DOP format, more like as ASIO does in windows
(https://github.com/lintweaker/xmos-native-dsd). I'm testing those
patches over "standard" squeezelite to be used with LMS, then I'll try
to allow 'native' palyback with AISO drivers at least in Windows.

The benefit of 'natives' formats over PCM is reduced size (and band) by
at least 33% (dop is 8 bit marker 16 bit data, 'natives' are no marker
and up to 32 bit data).
