I am very far from being very knowledgeable about custom-convert.conf
files but this seems to work on my system:
Code:
flc flc * *
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t wav - -t flac -C 0 -b
24 -
That custom-convert.conf file looks a bit odd to me.
The normal format of the file would be:
Code:
flc flc * *
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -D -q -t wav - -t flac -e

Any reason you are using AAC in preference to m4a (i.e. AAC in a m4a
container)?
I ask because often there is very limited "transport" options (moving
within the file, etc) with AAC files.
(It is very easy to convert AAC to m4a using, say, the command line
mp4box utility.)

Apologies for asking something that is probably obvious or has been
already discussed - but does C-3PO have the option to only upsample by
integer factors (e.g. 44.1 -> 88.2 ->176.4 and 48 -> 96 -> 192) or has
everything got to be upsampled to the same rate?

when I find an m4a (aac) file doesn't play in LMS.

The first thing I would do, in your position, is to do a mini-"clear
cache", just to get a completely clean set of database files:
Stop LMS
Go to the folder containing the cache files (see Settings/Information
for location)
Delete the files with file extensions .db, .db-shm, .db-wal
Restart LMS

Did you use only the Music Folders to navigate to the files? In which
case what you found is understandable.
Or did you navigate to the album via album name, or via artist, or via
"New Music"?
I've copied the cue file content that carlmart previously posted.
Added white spaces, as per cue file conventions. (I assume these were
automatically removed when carlmart posted it to the forum).
Applied the cue file to a 16/44.1 wave file of mine.
Rescanned.
Everything played perfectly,

I've just had a look at the LMS convert.conf file.
I realise that you want to stream your wav file as wav to your player
(which is running picoreplayer) but I suspect it might not be possible
to do so if you want to use cue files. This is because the convert.conf
file does not have

a) flac.exe/sox.exe are used to produce a flac stream, with the start

of file time)
b) this flac stream is passed to the player
So to my mind there are two tests that

Very odd.

But, carlmart's command line is 373 characters in length

I was about to suggest doing the test that mrw mentioned.
This will test whether the tokenized command line behaves properly. The
only difference is that it will save the output to a flac file rather
than it being streamed.
