Still not clear why the Ubuntu version doesn't like the mp3 stream - can you run squeezelite with the following options "-d decode=sdebug" . You can put log in a text file, zip it and attach to a post if it is too big. "

The Ubuntu log is missing the mpeg decode has not started which means squeezelite cannot decode the offered stream. Check what is the difference between the squeezeliute for Windows vs Ubuntu (e.g. same version ? same libraries used to build ? ) Enable more squeezelite logging and where is

Ok, I now tested this with processing the wav file with sox with the following arguments: /usr/bin/sox tts.wav -c 2 -r 44100 tts.mp3 before passing it to lame (which, in fact, shouldn't be needed anymore, right, as sox already outputs a mp3 file?) and delivering it in the web response. This is

I think the problem is 16Khz sampling and mono (1 chan). To make a "safe" file - choice is either at source resample and make 2 chan before creating the file (e.g. sox before lame) or else at playback IIRC you can tell squeezelite to resample upwards as well as say 16kHz is acceptable.

Sampling rate: 16.0 kHz Could you please check the LMS log, too? That seems like a very low sample rate. And if the server was still reporting 48kHz, then there might be the problem. -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list

If you refer to the icy-br header: This is a fixed value, hardcoded in the php script, which triggers the audio generation and delivers the file (based on https://github.com/openhab/openhab/wiki/Use-local-TTS-with-squeezebox). After I switched to CBR in lame, I changed the icy-br value to 128

128kbps is the bit rate not the sampling rate - the sampling rate is typically something like 22050Hz 32kHz 44.1kHz, 48Khz but some audio The OP posted some log output on github (https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/issues/123#issuecomment-266562864) which says the stream was 48kHz. --

In fact, the desired environment would be a Text-to-Speech setup for openhab with the squeezebox add-on, which, as far as I see it correctly, uses the direct URL to a webserver to request a file/stream. Like I said, it's working fine on a Windows computer with squeezebox.

Hi all together! I've a problem getting an mp3 file streamed trough squeeboxserver/LMS/Slimserver to a squeezelite service running on the same machine. For a short background: Playing a playlist from a web radio works pretty fine, also playing an mp3 file from the server where LMS is running
