Just noticed I have this as well. Have not seen before, but I haven't been a close watcher of the logs. This is also coupled with erratic operation of the server, for example, non-response to pause command from the web interface. Players are squeezelite 1.9.

I’m coming to the conclusion that I’m not going to update to Catalina from Mojave yet. That’s not so much down to LMS, which I assume from the lack of response to my question in recent posts here is working and running OK on Catalina. It’s more like Michael’s decision to stay with Mojave so

DOUBLE OUCH! With a 57,000+ library, converting all mp3 to flac isn't happening in my lifetime (roughly 75% are mp3). You've been a great help, but we can stop this now. I'd hoped doing this would be relatively easy, but it (as is true of much in life) is not. It would be far easier to do this

Ok, if this works for you and you have a lot of mid/low-bitrate MP3 there is in fact a way to do it without transcoding. You have to disable native hardware MP3 playback and convert all MP3 to FLAC on the server. However, for 320kbps MP3 transcoding has very little audible effect.

Curious about the formatting of the custom-convert.conf file. If I want *all* output to mono, does this do that: {conf} #mp3 mp3 squeezebox 00:02:dd:34:e9:62 # ./brute_filter $FILE$ - * * * * [sox] $FILES$ channels 1 - {conf} I read the file instructions to support this: # First line format:

Maybe you could describe what you want to archive - play one channel on one player, or down-mix stereo to mono (and then do what with it)? If it's the former, LMS can do it out of the box (settings>player>audio>Output Channel Mode), if it's the latter, the aforementioned sox or ALSA methods may

Apesbrain, I'd found the "sox remix -" CLI option. I assumed (!) that it should be used with a SqueezeLite configuration but I could not see where to use it (had tried messing with /etc/asound.conf but that didn't work). You suggest using it as an option in the LMS config by adding a section to
