Is your SlimServer on a mac or win? I will try to give you detailed
instructions accordingly.

You should try these instructions from the wiki. If they don't work for
you, then we could try to troubleshoot.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Sirius and FLAC audio over SSH... STUTTERING AUDIO!!

2007-12-01 Thread mkanet

okay, I copied the lame dll file in the bin subdirectory.  Now what?  

1) Do I need to register it as a directshow filter?  
2) Do I need to configure slimserver to accept this encoder or choose
this encoder instead of what it's doing?
3) Where do I specify the bit rate limit exactly?
4) At what point can I go to my softsqueeze player and play flac/sirius
radio at a prespecified bit rate?

Thanks,
Michael

These are perfect instructions!  Thanks!  I wont be able to test this
until Im on the other end of my ssh tunnel :)

Thanks,

 The way I have it on windows is that there is a folder called
 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread within the Bin subdirectory. This should
 contain a number of windows executables including flac.exe. To this I
 added the lame binary - lame.exe . There was no need to register it as
 a directshow filter.
 
 In the slimserver web interface, go to server settings. Select 'File
 types' and under FILE FORMAT CONVERSION SETUP make sure the line
 which says File Format - Flac and Stream Format - mp3 is selected. Save
 this.
 
 
 
 Connect to SlimServer with Softsqueeze. Then go back to the web
 interface. Under Settings, click on player settings for your
 SoftSqueeze player (it might be listed by MAC or IP addresses). In the
 pulldown menu, select the Audio option. After that you should see LAME
 Quality Level, and Bitrate Limiting. Set those to what suits your
 requirements. Hit save, and you should be good to go.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Sirius and FLAC audio over SSH... STUTTERING AUDIO!!

2007-11-30 Thread Nikhil

You can't have the transcoding bitrate altering in real time according
to the available bandwidth - ala the SlingBox if that's what you are
after. 

What you can do, however, is have a maximal bitrate set e.g. if you
have a DSL uplink speed of 350kbps, I would set it to 192 kbps. This
would provide enough overhead for the SSH tunnel as well.

What you need to do to achieve this, is make sure that you have the
LAME mp3 codec installed correctly in SlimServer. Then go to the player
settings page, select the Audio tab, and then under bitrate settings,
select the bitrate appropriate for your connection.

2007-11-29 Thread mkanet

I thought that ALL audio gets transcoded to the bandwidth the client is
capable of!?

If not, how do I get all audio to be automatically transcoded to
available bandwidth?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Sirius and FLAC audio over SSH... STUTTERING AUDIO!!

2007-11-28 Thread mkanet

Can someone please confirm that the Sirius Radio plugin at high quality
and FLAC audio files will stutter over an SSH tunnel (DSL speed).  Is
there a way to fix this problem?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Sirius and FLAC audio over SSH... STUTTERING AUDIO!!

2007-11-28 Thread Nikhil

Don't know about Sirius, but FLAC over an SSH tunnel through a DSL
connection is more than likely to stutter. In my experience 44.1 KHz /
16bit FLACs need around 1000 - 1200 kbps sustained to stream  reliably
(and I would double those numbers to be certain).

You probably want SlimServer to dynamically transcode those FLACs to
mp3s for remote streaming.
