Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Mixcloud on Boom (and Squeezplay)

2017-08-11 Thread bpa

I think you should continue this thread on the  "official" mixcloud
thread.  There is a user there with an Receiver which has the same
problem - perhaps the plugin author can state whether Mixcould mp4 ever
worked on Sb3/Boom/Receiver and is now broken.

The suggest fix is here
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?88286-Mixcloud-plugin=861033=1#post861033

Basically the default decoder faad is not able to handle the Mixcloud
MP4 and the change uses ffmpeg (AKA avconv on some Linux systems).

Ideally the plugin should provide a custom-convert.conf with these
settings.

Here is what I found
For WebUI Settings/Advanced/Filetype
For MPEG-4
AAC   NAtive
FLAC  faad/flac
MP3   faad/lame
PCM   faad

Boom will play the somafm stream.
Boom will play a m4a file from my music folder.
Boom and squeezelite will still not play the Mixcloud stream
This is my example

If it plays OK on Touch (and hopefully also on squeezelite)  then it
means the transcode rule is not working or not setup.

Can you play any plain AAC streams on Boom ?

Try the following:  http://www.somafm.com/illstreet64.pls

What are the MPEG-4 settings shown in  WebUI Settings/Advanced/Filetypes

Mixcloud files will not play on my Boom. Any other suggestions?

If Touch works then for other player it is a matter of right transcode
setup. IIRC 7.7 does not have the support for mp4. 7.9.1 has the support
so I suggest try upgrading.

IIRC Squeezeplay is a bit old and might not have all the necessary
codecs.  Squeezelite should be able to play as latest versions can
generally play all the Touch can play (and more).

I don't know mixcloud but at a guess it is mp4 (mime tye audio/mp4) -
since it works on Touch - look at the More menu when a stream is
playing.

Yup the mixes I'm trying to play are Mp4 files. No hope for the Boom?
Seems that Squeezeplay chokes on these files as well.

I also want to note that Soundcloud works perfectly across all of my
devices. Mixcloud is the problem.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Mixcloud on Boom (and Squeezplay)

2017-08-09 Thread bpa

The error "Problem:Unable to play file type..." usually means the audio
format you have selected cannot played natively on the device e.g AAC on
Boom or 96Khz on Boom. If this is the problem then underlying issues ios
NOT a Mixcloud problem.

I suggest describe in detail for format of the audio you are trying to
play such as 44.1Khz/48Khz/96Khz, AAC, Flac, MP3 , 24bit sample etc.
