Re: [slim] SB1 and 24bit flacs, how to configure LMS to downsample to 16-bit?
Try incorporating that FLAC decode step into your conversion. I think
the contents of your custom-convert.conf would look something like
this:
Code:
flc pcm * 00:00:00:00:00:00
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t wav - -t wav -b 16 -r
44100 -
Or
Code:
flc pcm * 00:00:00:00:00:00
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -dcs --force-raw-format --endian=little --sign=signed $START$
$END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t wav - -t wav -b 16 -r 44100 -
It's been a while and that may not be right, so you may need to
experiment. The "00:00:00:00:00:00" should be replaced with the MAC
address of your SB1.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Touch to Transporter - sound quality
"Sound quality" is an individual experience; only you can be the judge of this. Both are worthy solutions and, under controlled conditions, I doubt you'd be able to tell one from the other. It's been repeatedly demonstrated, however, that "sound" quality is influenced by more than sound waves hitting the eardrum. If you like the look of the Transporter, or it provides you a certain pride of ownership, it may indeed "sound" better to you. If you're asking is the data somehow different as rendered to the DAC via Touch or Transporter, the answer is no.

Re: [slim] This is driving me nuts
If your Lyngdorf amp is one with "Chromecast built-in", you might give the LMS Chromecast plugin a try. From what I've read, it can support up to 24/192. Can't guarantee gapless or ReplayGain support with these plugins, though, so you'll have to test that. Honestly, the best player for LMS is a Squeezebox or squeezelite-enabled device. If you have no other Squeezebox players to support, I'd suggest switching to a full-featured DLNA server like MinimServer and using the Lyngdorf controller app. Apesbrain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=738 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111970 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

OP, why don't you turn the old PC into a full-time server, stick it in a closet, and keep running all that stuff on it? If it's doing the things you need, switching to a NAS or RPi isn't going to make things any better. My setup is very similar to yours, but on a headless box out of the way and wired directly to my router. I manage it and move things on/off of it using Remote Desktop. Because it's a server, I leave it powered on all the time; that's up to you. Of course, we'll all have to deal with Win 7 "end of life". I figure I'll wait to see what that involves and try to keep running it for as long as possible. P.S.

Re: [slim] Rebuffering problems AFTER a Win 10 update
Frustrating. Some things I'd try: - Unsynchronize all players and see if better with just one playing - Turn off everything; restart in order starting as far upstream as possible, e.g. ONT/gateway or cable modem. Let each device fully start before moving on. Touches should be last - Re-read the Orbi manual and be sure it's configured properly, i.e. if using it with a gateway, the gateway wireless should be disabled and the Orbi set as "access point" - Change your wireless channel: 1, 6, or 11 - Update to current LMS nightly build - Run System Restore to reset your server to before the recent update. Not sure what a Windows Update would have done to cause this issue. More likely it is something about the Orbi interaction with your network that has now decided to act up. Does your server have a reserved IP address? Always a good idea. Are SqueezeliteX settings (output device and server IP) still good?

Re: [slim] Can you advise me on a comprehensive home audio setup?
I'm a die-hard Squeezebox fan, but with Sonos PLAY:1 going for as little as $135 right now, it would be hard to recommend anything else. Buy a few for the key rooms and add on as you can afford. If you want higher fidelity, get a Play:5. If you want to plug it into an existing receiver/HTIB, get a Sonos Connect. If you want Alexa support, buy a Sonos One. Each room can be its own zone, or you can synchronize them however you like. You can add a second speaker in a zone and configure them as stereo. No server required; just copy your music to a portable hard drive and hang it off your wireless modem, if possible. Control via smartphone/tablet app. Supports internet radio and music streaming services, too. Another cool option are the Google Home devices. I have one and it sounds surprisingly good; the Google Home Max should be even better. Logitech Media Server can make your local music library available to these players. For that matter, if you're running LMS on a PC somewhere on your network then you can add however many zones you like using an inexpensive Raspberry Pi player or any device that supports DLNA.

Re: [slim] Can't Play Digital Music Purchases! Help?
Are the files tagged properly? Not sure LMS can display files if they aren't tagged. Can you see them in "Music Folder" view?

Re: [slim] setup SlimDevices SqueezeBox without remote

Seems like a security weakness. Anyway, I recently purchased a Radio remote for $13 on eBay and it works fine. Also works with Touch. Not sure about SB3/Transporter, but I don't think there's any difference.

Re: [slim] Help! Wake on LAN suddenly not working for no obvious reason
Currently on Win 7, but I think Win 10 is similar. Type "Network and sharing center" in taskbar and open. On left click on "Change adapter settings". Right-click on your adapter and select "Properties". Click on "Configure" and go to the "Power Management" tab. Be sure the appropriate switches are enabled; should say something like "Allow this device to wake the computer", "Wake on magic packet", or "Wake on network broadcast". If unsure, post back with a list of available options.

[slim] Just bought another Touch...
To balance the "so long, and thanks for the fish" threads, checking in to say I got it on eBay as a backup. Paid 50¢ on the dollar, so a fair deal. I may never need it, but wanted the insurance. -Long live Squeezebox!- Apesbrain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=738 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109242 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
