In this 2006 post Sean Adams says this feature is only for SB1 - it

The way to see who needs it is to look for post with "start chopped" or
"truncated"

The feature was introduced around 10-May-2004 nightlies of 5.1.6 - and
still didn't solve user problem.

I'm sure somebody could spend time and look back at Slimserver 5.* & 6.*
but does it help ?  It won't really explain why the feature was added
nor who actually needs it today and their finite time can be spent
fixing other problem which affect more users.

My gut feeling is that not many users actually need the feature today. I
think digital input have improved and don't need time to sync up.
If it was really needed today, I would have expected a few Flac,AAC,Ogg
& WMA users to have asked for it but I can't remember any requests

Currently some users may do play with this setting if they are trying to
solve a problem and if problem is "solved", setting is likely a placebo
as they are unlikely to be only playing MP3.
My strategy would be 
(i)  remove the setting from Web page and so prevent new users setting
non zero values. 
(ii) existing users would keep their non-zero setting in prefs. No
visible setting will make then ask what happened so actual users will be
come visible and can be investigated.

I can confirm what bpa describes. I also have tested with flac and
everything works fine. 

In my case, only the 48 kHz MP3 failed and was too slow. I could even
let run two players the same MP3 48 kHz radio stream, one with the
startup time to 1s, one with no start up time, without sync, and the one
without start up time would run away from the other.

Couldn't those lines in the code be tracked back when they were
introduced or changed in order to understand what the reason for
introducing this feature was?

OP has said they have tested with AAC and there is no problem.

It seems that silence is ONLY added when format is MP3. All calculations
in code assume a 44.1kHz stream. 

The issue may now be noticeable because of s/w players using ALSA which
have a sample rate defined when opened. I wonder whether old h/w player
(e.g. SB1) can change sample rate on the fly when natively decoded. MP3
frames have sample rate in the frame header,  so that a rate change
between silence frame and audio frames could be a passed onto DAC

Just by looking at LMS code, the current implementation looks like it
checks for MP3 format and then uses a file called lbrsilence.mp3 to add
the required number of MP3 frames of audio silence.

There are no equivalent "silence" files for Flac, WMA or OGG which I
think would be necessary if the other SB2/SB3 native formats also added
silence.

Strangely there are two other files which seem to be unused: silence.mp3
and silentpacket.mp3

The fact it only applies to MP3 is inconsistent but nobody cared too
much - however it only works for 44.1k - play non 44.1k and you get slow
playback or chipmunks.


Does that apply to formats other than mp3, too? Would they fail to play?

I think this is a setting introduced for digital outputs where some
DAC/AV receivers used to chop off start of track/stream as they needed
time to get going.
So probably for SB1 - first player to have digital output.

My pCP setup works fine without. I have set the time to 0. Before, I
thought it would be useful, but never investigated whether I really
needed it.

It boiled down to when you have set an « audio startup time » in player
settings, and mp3 is played, LMS inserts a series of silence frames but


And it does so for mp3 only? Other formats would play correctly as 
expected?



Now, the real question was: is that feature still meaningful or is it a
reminiscence from the past when mp3 was the only option. I think there
is still some issues with gaps and MP3 codecs, but I’ve never
investigated that part.


I'm wondering whether this is something SliMP3 and/or SB1 needed. Would 
recent players or Squeezelite work without those files? I'd rather 
disable this for recent players than add new files.

It boiled down to when you have set an « audio startup time » in player
settings, and mp3 is played, LMS inserts a series of silence frames but
at a fixed 44.1kHz. Each player receiving that silence detects the
sample rate and assumes it will be the same one for the whole track, but
it is not if the real track is 48k or 32k and so playback is too slow or
too fast. The PR ignore the delay is rate is below 32k and uses a
different silence otherwise.

Now, the real question was: is that feature still meaningful or is it a
reminiscence from the past when mp3 was the only option. I think there
is still some issues with gaps and MP3 codecs, but I’ve never
investigated that part.

I agree and obviously I have never needed it even if I thought I would.
But my example shows that this has to be solved somehow as it gave
really weird results - Philippe's lazyman solution should be sufficient
for most users, but documentation should then also tell that this
feature works only for mp3 44.1 kHz.

I'm pretty sure it is legacy (and not just MP3 but also just 44.1kHz) as
native Flac only appeared with SB2 and native AAC with Touch/Radio.

Now it seems the uneven way of handling formats could result in more
"false" reports.

If the added "silence" is still necessary for current DACs - I feel
users would have been demanding it as they would have needed it to play
Flac and AAC.

I would tend to agree with you, and I think it's a legacy thing at the

if you jump into a radio stream, it does not matter if you loose a

Other sampling rates are all lower.  32kHz is the only stream I've
"seen" on same streaming radio.

Need to understand - does this feature work with AAC/Flac streams ?  
If not then why bother with the feature for MP3 streams only ?
If yes, why does it work with AAC/Flac and not MP3 ?

If it applies only to MP3 anyway, one could do an "extended lazyman"
version with two different silence files for 44.1 and 48 kHz. Other
sampling rates for MP3 should be really unusual.

Code:


  if ($client->streamBytes() == 0 && $client->streamformat() eq 'mp3' && 
$client->streamingSong()->samplerate() == 44100) {
  


It's lazyman version as it will only work for files (samplerate in $song

Thinking a bit more - this approach would probably fail if players are
synced.

The setting is really a server based solution because of h/w based
players. 

With s/w based players like squeezelite with a lot more
control/knowledge of the output stream , it would make more sense to
have a command line option - it is a compromise but since not many
people have the problem, it might be the easiest way.

Couldn't LMS modify the header of those silence files when using them
and recalculate the length that it fits to the desired length?

I will have a look but I've finally not made chnages to the "silence
creation" part (I was thinking about that to have a sream.flac instead
of stream.mp3) and funny enough, one of the main issue was that no
player supports properly change of sampling rate during single stream. I
noticed that for flac and I re-checked for mp3 and saw the same and
anyway squeezelite code confirms that. So although the mp3 or flac can
have independant sampling rate per block, players won't analyse every
blokc and reporgram themselves. AFAIJ (and I'd need to verify that) but
LMS inserts fix silence frames when some silence if required at the
beginning and the silence file (found in HTML/EN/html) are 44.1 kHz. So
that problem has (almost) no solution, we can't have many silence files
(we don't really know which one might be required anyway) and we can't
easily reprogram DAC on-the-fly

It's really funny and I wonder why I haven't noticed that before. I just
always wondered why there were some jumps and left out music.

And I only realized that something is wrong when I listened to a live
performance of "Tristan und Isolde" with my favourite tenor Jonas
Kaufmann. I thought: "Oh my, he is not in a good shape today, his voice
sounds so extremely deep". ;) Then I checked my recording from DVB-S and
everything was normal...

Great that problem has been tracked down. It is an old feature which
clearly is not used much and possible some of recent development have
introduced an incompatibility.

You are my hero!

It was the silence. I had entered it because sometimes my Marantz was a
little late in starting. *I set it to zero - and everything is playing
ok.

So it seems that we have tracked down the problem. I think it could be
reproduced now with adding the "Audio startup time" to 1s. Of course
would be great to have it working also with the silence.

I think that may be "Normal".

MP3 audio data is made up of many frames. Each frame has a  header
(indicated by a unique byte sequence - 0xFF, 0xF? I think) which have
details of the stream and then the audio data.

MP3 Files will always start with a header.
MP3 stream are continuous so when players  "joins" the broadcast - it
could be in the middle of the audio data part but player doesn't know
stream or file. So decoder will look at first few bytes which is likely
to NOT be a header so decoder will fail and so decoder will then skip
data by looking for 0xFF, 0xF? sequence to find next MP3 header & frame.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer: Radio is streamed with wrong frequency

[schup011]

Here is how LMS reacts for the two different streams (mp3 codec not
excluded in Squeezelite). Looks weird.

First, on 14:07:44, the "problematic" mp3 stream was requested. Then
after a few seconds, it played, but too slow.
Second, on 14:08:05, the aac stream of the same radio was requested.
After a few seconds it played ok.

35403

Also here, something looks not really ok. Many iterative checks of how
to transcode

The HDMI interface is an ALSA interface to squeezelite. Depending on the
HDMI interface capabilities and the ALSA device opened - the ALSA can
resample streams which are incompatible.
The interface expects PCMs frames and also when opening the ALSA device
parameters about the PCM stream such as sample size (e.g. 16bit, 24bit),
channels and how fast to play the frames.
For some reason after decoding MP3 frames, squeezelite decides to open
the ALSA device with 44.1khz and not 48kHz. 48kHz MP3 is unusual and so
perhaps there is a bug where the 48kHz gets "lost".

A squeezelite bug should be replicable and so show up on other systems.

Yeah, the log shows that it does not find the sample rate and maybe
guesses it from the first data

It is a RasPi Model 3B with Marantz SR 6013, JiveLite on official 7''
touchscreen, LMS 8.1 and SqueezeLite updated to current version:


Code:

piCorePlayer | piCorePlayer v6.1.0 | www v0009 | linux 4.19.122-pcpCore_v7 
| piCore v10.3pCP | Squeezelite v1.9.9-1386-pCP



The thing I am really confused about is that with flac or aac, 48 kHz
rates are no problem...

The strange thing is that within the MP3 audio frame header, the sample
rate of the audio stream is specified.
The HDMI output device should be opened with the rate found in the MP3
frame.

Can you confirm the hardware which is running PCP - what version of a Pi
hardware so that maybe others can test ?
What model of Marantz - with HDMI there is negotiation as to what rates
are supported by HDMI device.

You can verify with the radio stream:

But I think is a very typical one. And it happens only with the HDMI

It does only occur with 48 kHz mp3 files or streams. I will check
whether the Squeezelite log looks the same with the 48 kHz mp3 radio
stream.

To my knowledge, I have only this one file with 48 kHz mp3, because
usually, in my library, I only have flac. There are some CD downloads
with mp3, but those are 44.1 kHz.

It seems as if it has a decode error at the start and then recognizes
the sample rate wrongly. Thus it opens ALSA with 44.1kHz

In contrast, for the aac, it correctly recognizes the sample rate and
therefore also opens ALSA with 48kHz:

It was at debug all the time, for all those excerpts from the log except

Not really.

The original problem was that 48 kHz MP3 were played too slowly,
probably as if they were 44.1 kHz. The problem does not occur with flac
48 or aac 48.

Then it was proposed to force LMS to transcode instead of Squeezelite.
Therefore, I used the Squeezelite settings to exclude MP3 from the
codecs it would use. 

But this does not work either because LMS somehow can't find a
conversion rule. So with that Squeezelite setting, the MP3 files are not
played at all anymore.

Almost. LMS has the source format and sample rate of a file, the target
player's maximum sample rate and its supported list of codecs, and an
optional time offset to start from. With these information, it scans the
conversion rules to try to find a perfect match or at least a match with
lowest "cost". The match can say: nothing to transcode, just send file
or it can say "invoke this external chain of programs to transform from
source format to that accepted format. Ultimately, the player has to
decode to PCM, but in LMS, the transcoding might never make PCM
"visible".

So to make sure I get that correctly: These 48kHz MP3 do not play at
all, right?
It seems that in your case the maximum sample rate reported by the
player is less than 48kHz and LMS does not find any transcoding rule,
which would be one of these


Code:


  # special case for smart bitrates on mp3 input
  mp3 mp3 transcode *
# IFB:{BITRATE=--abr %B}D:{RESAMPLE=--resample %D}
[lame] --silent -q $QUALITY$ $BITRATE$ $RESAMPLE$ --mp3input $FILE$ -
  
  flc flc transcode *
# IFT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}D:{RESAMPLE=-r %d}E:{NOSTART=I}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ --force-raw-format --sign=signed 
--endian=little -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t raw --encoding signed-integer -b 
$SAMPLESIZE$ -r $SAMPLERATE$ -c $CHANNELS$ -L - -t flac $RESAMPLE$ -C 0  -

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer: Radio is streamed with wrong frequency

[schup011]

I understand that there are two ways how the conversion from MP3 stream
to PCM for the HDMI Audio is done:

1) LMS decodes to PCM and sends to Squeezelite, that sends directly to
HDMI
2) LMS sends MP3 to Squeezelite, Squeezelite decodes to PCM.

Obviously in my case, neither of both ways is working. Both of them
should, or am I wrong?

Ok. I just have Custom Clock Helper, Custom Browse, Material, Music

I really get into trouble with transcoding rules.  Not sure why it's not
going mp3->flc.   But I now see the MP3->MP3 case.  It needs lame.

Have you installed extension pcp-lame.tcz  (That is not installed by
default)

In the LMS file types settings, MP3 can only be chosen "native" or
"disabled". Here, it was "native".

Somehow, my LMS won't transcode. At least, if I exclude the mp3 codec,
the stream does not play anymore at all.

So how could I set my player to not allow mp3 to be sent to it?

Previously sox was mentioned. What is that and how can I check whether
it is installed / working?

As described before, I tried to restrict to 44.1 kHz (not really what I
want to do, because I want to have both 44.1 and 48 with high quality),
but then the 48 did not play at all...

Well, I have both a lots of ripped CDs (44.1kHz) and radio recordings
(48kHz). I usually don't use 48kHz mp3 in my library (only flac), but
radio streams ofter occur to be mp3 48kHz.

That could be, I cannot really tell. 

But what I can say is that those 48 kHz mp3 streams work on the
"KitchenPlayer" that has a JustBoom DAC and on the Android
SqueezePlayer. They only are too slow on the player with the HDMI audio
output. And it does not matter whether it is a mp3 from radio or one in
my music library.

There was a few releases of squeezelite with broken aac.Make sure
you are on the latest.

For streaming aac, it’s probably best to be on LMS 8.2. And pCP 8.0.0

This is the LMS:


Code:

Logitech Media Server Version: 8.1.1 - 1610364019 @ Thu Jan 14 06:27:45 CET 
2021
  Hostname: piCorePlayer
  IP-Adresse des Servers: 192.168.0.161

  Betriebssystem: piCore - DE - utf8

  Audio::Scan: 1.02
  IO::Socket::SSL: 2.066
  Datenbankversion: DBD::SQLite 1.58 (sqlite 3.22.0)
  Anzahl erkannter Player: 2



and the LMS setting under "File types" does give for mp3 only the choice
"native" or "disabled" (German "deaktiviert").

Since this fails and -r 44100,48000 works it seems to indicat that your
LMS resampling is broken or disabled.

What is your LMS version ? Are you using PCP for LMS or another system ?
is sox installed ?

These are distractions.
Direct stream is for URL to play direct to Squeezelite - only possible
if it is a compaitbl stream if LMS has to resample - then it will not
play direct.
Proxy means LMS gets involved as a relay.

I tried -r 44100, but then only 44.1 kHz streams are played. LMS just
does not play the other ones (I press play, then it shortly checks the
stream and control goes back to stopped after 1-2s without having played
anything). 

With -r 44100,48000 the 48 kHz streams play again, but with the problem
I had described before (too slow).

So if this occurs only with mp3 and the output to the HDMI interface is
always supposed to be PCM, doesn't that mean that this problem must lie
in Squeezelite, as flac and aac work without problems? 

BTW: I tried both "Direct streaming" and "Streaming via Proxy" as LMS
settings for this specific player.

Sorry I wrote it down backwards.

What model Marantz is your receiver ?

Normally the supported rates are obtained from the ALSA device 
The option "-r" can override what rates are supported  so "-r
44100,48000" says both 44.1kHz and 48kHz are supported. In your case you
should try "-r 44100" so that stream that are not 44.1Khz will be
resampled by LMS.

I think the stream from Squeezelite to Marantz will always be PCM -
Squeezelite will decode MP3, Flac , AAC etc into PCM samples. 
So it will be up to Squeezelite to open the ALSA device with the right
speed as determined from the audio codec header in the audio stream from
LMS (assuming that LMS is sending MP3 or Flac to squeezelite and has not
been disabled in LMS)

I tried the Squeezelite option for max. sample rate and put this to
44100. But then, no 48 kHz stream is working anymore, regardless whether
aac, mp3 or flac. Before, all aac and flac were working flawlessly.

Hm... all 44.1 play well, the 48 ones don't. Anyway, what could be the
correct squeezelite parameters?

It seems your Marantz cannot play 44.1kHz natively but LMS hasn't been
told this (i.e squeezelite reports it has 44.1Khz capability).  

If this is the case you to provide squeezelite parameters to tell LMS
that only 48kHz is supported on Marantz player.
