Hi all,
I've just downloaded SqueezeSlave and it seems excellent. Until now
I've used SoftSqueeze (along with three SB hardware units) but never
needed the GUI. I'm running SqueezeSlave on Vista (x64).
My setup is SC7.3 on Linux, with music shared via a mounted drive to my
Windows server. All
No.
Squeezeslave only talks to SC using slimprotocol, it does not access
music files directly. When a new player is created, it defaults to
bandwidth limiting enabled at 320kbps, if you don't have lame
installed, SC thinks it's playing okay, when in fact it isn't. Try
changing the SS player
Many thanks for the reply Ralphy. But why would it happily play 20 songs
this morring, then bork on the first one with diacritics in the name?
I don't think it's a bandwidth issue at all.

Did you check? I don't think it's the name, it's the file type. flac
will be transcoded to mp3 if bandwidth limiting is on.

But all my files are flac, including all the ones it's happily played
this morning.
To confirm, it will happily play:
Location: /mnt/music/Music/Various Artists/Radio Veronica Top 1000
[2007]/0213 - Phil Collins - I Wish It Would Rain Down.flac
Location: /mnt/music/Music/Various Artists/Radio
Can you enable the player.source logging at debug level, play one the
bad files and attach the log to a post?

Hopefully the attachment gives you need, but the useful bits seem to be
this:

Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::tokenizeConvertCommand2 (557) Using
command for conversion: /usr/bin/flac -dcs --force-raw-format
--endian=little --sign=signed -- /mnt/music/Music/Various
For comparison, attached is the log from SoftSqueeze for the same
track.

You do have bandwidth limiting on.
[09-02-23 12:58:14.2878] Slim::Utils::Prefs::maxRate (869) Setting
maxBitRate for Squeezeslave JimSAG to: 320
and you don't have lame installed.

Please
Ok it's sorted.
No I didn't have LAME installed, but nor did I have bandwidth limiting
applied. However, the limiting options are greyed-out if LAME isn't
installed, yet they still seem to be applied.
I've installed LAME and that has enable the bandwidth limiting options.
I've now been able to
Yes, that's right. The squeezeslave player type defaults to bandwidth
limiting enabled and without lame installed you can't disable it.
Enjoy.
