Re: iPeng and Playback on MacOS�stream problem

2022-02-27 Thread whitman

Not designed for MscOS originally, but at the Apple App Store iPeng
presents compatibility info that has "Mac: Requires macOS 11.0 or later
and a Mac with the Apple M1 chip" at the top of a list of specs covering
iPhone, iPad, iPad Touch, and Apple Watch. 

Thanks for your suggestions anyway, Jim, and I'll give the iPeng thread
a go. I'd shied away from that originally as such mega-threads—I see the
iPeng one has 8,250 replies—are a bit overwhelming, to say the least. I
also see the last post there suggests Pippin hasn't been active there
for a few months.

iPeng wasn’t really designed for use on this platform so I suggest you
ask in the iPeng support section under 3rd Party Software to see whether
the author - Pippin - has any views on what’s going on

OK, made that setting in LMS, but unfortunately no change.

The behaviour seems to be that when I play one of those higher-kbps (not
kHz!) streams, it will instantly jump to a point a minute or two into
the stream, and start counting down as if playing, but with no audio.
The controls in iPeng for pause etc are frozen; it's crashed. Really
frustrating!

I'm looking in iPeng at Settings/Player Settings/Audio, but I can't see
a setting there for streaming method. All I have there is Crossfade,
Volume Adjustment, Fixed Volume, and Equalizer. Is that where you meant
to look?

Have you tried setting Streaming Method to Proxied under Player,
Settings, Audio
