Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] spotty conversion for Inguz?
Could one of you direct me where in custom-convert.conf these lines have to be put? All spotify music is skipped when I try a modified custom-convert.conf.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] spotty conversion for Inguz?
Bob, I'd rather wait for now because, from what very little I can understand of the InguzDSP source code (and it is very little), it looks as though Inguz might well accept raw pcm input (as long as it is 44100Hz, 2 channel, 16 bit, little endian) if the -wav parameter is changed to -raw. That would be a better solution IF it worked - so I would like to check things out. (All these things take time . lots of time at least for me.)

All working now thanks to JohnB. John has also written a new section for
Inguz Plugin.pm that generates the appropriate lines in
custom-convert.conf.
John, do you want to publish your modification for Plugin.pm or would
you rather wait?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] spotty conversion for Inguz?
On further investigation it seems that the sox command that I had tried before, the first example in post #4, just needed a tailing "-" to make it work!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] spotty conversion for Inguz?
I've been doing some testing, using the custom-convert.conf command
lines - as suggested by Michael, though not using Spotify.
This sox section of the command line seems to work. It accepts piped in
pcm and pipes out wav.
| [sox] -q -t raw -b 16 -e signed -c 2 -r 44.1k -L - -t wav - |
I've tested it on files (within LMS) but not on Spotify streams.
It would make the Inguz section:
Code:
spt flc * xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
# RT:{START=--start-position %s}
[spotty] -n Squeezebox -c "$CACHE$" --single-track $FILE$
--disable-discovery --disable-audio-cache $START$ | [sox] -q -t raw -b 16 -e
signed -c 2 -r 44.1k -L - -t wav - | [InguzDSP] -id "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -wav
-wavo -d 24 | [flac] -cs --fast --totally-silent --ignore-chunk-sizes -
Worth a try...?...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] spotty conversion for Inguz?
I feel the tests I've done have very much been the blind leaving the blind. :o Just in case there is an obvious solution - these notes might be useful: >From what I can see, the spotty output is PCM. Inguz expects the input to be wav. So the task is to convert the spotty pcm output to wave. I tried the following sox command: Code: | [sox] -q -r 44100 -e signed-integer -b 16 -L -c 2 -t raw - -t wav | and then, just in case "ignore-length" might make a difference: Code: | [sox] -q -r 44100 -e signed-integer -b 16 -L -c 2 --ignore-length -t raw - -t wav | The sox parameters are based on those used in the spt-flc section of the Spotty custom-convert.conf file. As a test I created a 44.1k, 16bit, 2 channel, little-endian raw file (using Sound Forge) and the following command line correctly converted it to wav: Code: sox -q -r 44100 -e signed-integer -b 16 -L -c 2 F:\test.raw F:\test.wav The difference between this and what I tried in the Inguz Spotty command is: Code: F:\test.raw F:\test.wav vs Code: -t raw - -t wav Any thoughts?

Thank you Michael, I'll give that a go and report back if I can get it
to work.

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with inguz at all. But what you could do
is run the command from the command line, rather than within LMS. That
could help you to figure out which of the components in this command is
failing (spotty, sox, inguz, flac). Replace the items in brackets with
the path to the executable, $CACHE$ with the path to your LMS' spotty
cache folder (see Settings/Information for the cache folder), $FILE$
with a spotify URI (can be found in Spotify's "..." menu). Then pipe all
of it in a .flac file. If that can be played, then there's a problem in
LMS. If it can't be played, leave out one component after the other:
spotty would give you PCM data, sox would convert it to WAV, inguz dito,
flac, well, flac. Store sox' output in a .wav file. Can it be played?
Yes: add inguz to the mix, repeat. If no. Hmm...
