The base picoreplayer install does not include the ffmpeg libraries to

In this state, squeeelite can't play wma or alac files and relies on LMS
to transcode those formats.

ffmpeg was updated last year when AVStream member AVCodecContext was

I'll research if those changes are the cause or if squeezelite isn't

Having booted up a LMS Win10 system - I did some test with problem

Similar errors were seen on a WMA lossless stream and bug reported (

Success ! - horrible noise when playing with Squeezelite-pulse (which

Lots of errors messages. The file is at fault.

You mention a DAC board in an earlier thread. What is it?
If you disable said DAC and play through the Pis onboard audio do you

I say this because the price point of nearly all the Pi HAT DACs is such

Hi. Very impressed with piCorePlayer and hoping it plays WMA files.
It does, but with huge distortion, even on a DAC audio board.
FFMpeg libraries installed and reinstalled, backed up and rebooted, with
various settings.
As a first-timer I'm likely missing what an experienced user figured
On the main page in the web gui, you need to install the ffmpeg
