However since squeezelite is the player - there is no need for QNAP to do AAC transcode into Flac. However VLC is needed to transcode DASH transport protocol from source to ADTS protocol to send the AAC stream to the player which is not a compute heavy task. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109261 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MPEG-DASH (Audio embedded in Video)
Version of LMS is not an issue as you need to use a transcoder. However I don't know if VLC with DASH is available for a QNAP - before doing any more work - you need to confirm what version of VLC (if any) works on your QNAP bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109261 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 2.3.0 - Spotify Connect for your Squeezebox
I love having Spotty for my LMS setup and use it daily. One thing that I have never been able to get right is the song display when multiple players are synced and using Connect. The audio works fine. Occasionally a song will repeat, or the playlist will not continue, but that's few and far between. No matter if one or multiple players are Connect enabled, when they are synced (which is all the time for me) only the first song title played will display, even though the Connect playlist continues and the songs change. Has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone figured out how to fix this? I use a picore player server, one picore player, one SB3 and one SB2.

My LMS version is 7.7.6 running on a QNAP TS-212P, QTS 4.3.3. I can't tell what Linux distro QTS is based on, but seen reference to Busybox. LMS 7.7.6 seems to be the latest version running on this platform. gc George_C's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64770 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109261 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thanks This question really belong on a PCP thread as most PCP developers will not read a waveinput post. I find it hard to beleiev that a single vinyl LP rip to Flac will not fit on an SD card. The squeeszelite approach is not sensible. Use a direct conversion input to file (even networked drive) such as arecord -> flac -> file or ecasound (not sure if available on pcp). bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49584 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: WaveInput for Linux
I'm testing wavinput on my PiCoreplayer setup, here's a couple of things I did to make it work + a question It worked pretty much first time, once I installed and configured the local LMS on the PiCoreplayer + wavinput plugin as wavin:default. I'm using an ancient USB Soundblaster MP3+ which works fine as a player, and might approximate a low-end sound card these days. But it produced horrible dropouts when capturing audio. Eventually, having tried a few things, I fixed it by changing the sample rate from 44100 to 48000 So the command in /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/slimserver/Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/WaveInput/custom-convert.conf becomes Code: [arecord] -d0 -c2 -f S16_LE -r 48000 -twav -D $FILE$ | [flac] -cs --totally-silent --compression-level-0 - A nice simple fix in this case, no apparent dropouts, of course YMMV. The other thing I found was that the PCP didn't seem to load my saved Alsamixer settings which default to the MIC as input - no good. Setting the input to line and setting a suitable level, then 'sudo alsactl store' saves asound.state in /var/lib/alsa Setting user startup command #1 to 'sudo alsactl restore' does the trick of always restoring input levels & routing. So the question - I'm using this setup to rip some vinyl, but having difficulty in capturing the stream. Local capture isn't practical on the PCP due to SD card size, location etc, and the suggestion is that Squeezelite can save to file by redirecting output (-o -). However when I do this I get a huge file very quickly, that nothing recognizes, not even Audacity. I'm assuming it's FLAC or raw audio and tried piping it through ffmpeg, but it doesn't like it either. Any suggestions ?

In the case of Nile TV International, I recognize that the quality of the video stream is very poor, but it is what it is. You can compare the quality playing the stream on vlc with the same stream on the player in the hosting page so I don't think there is anything incomplete about the URL *So how to setup a transcoding application. ?* The ability to use a transcoding application depends on the source URL MIME type - it needs to be consistent and also the trasncoding application has to be able to discard the video. Also for DASH - you need to tell application play not to adaptively change bit rate during playback as LMS playback device cannot acceptable variable bitrates within a stream but looking at the manifest and this does not seems to be an issue..

Thanks. I tried a few extension in chrome without much luck, so I downloaded firefox (which I have used on and off over the years), and your technique worked. In the extensive source I tried to imagine looking through it for something that looks for a streaming link. So, I just did a find on "http://; and "stream" and finally both together. But I that another station under radio.com wast not consistent in url naming. I'm can read source structure, but the last coding I did was "C" without the "++". :rolleyes:Now that I have dated myself. But, in the end, I did not start out trying to solve radio.com through SB devices, rather to get reconnected with the station. Thanks to all for helped me with that.
