Apologies if I haven't done what you asked, but some of what you ask doesn't seem to work at all, notably changing specific settings.
When I said settings don't 'stick', I have a problem in that when I change several of the player-specific settings, and apply, next time I look at the settings they have reverted to what they were before. Until I can rely on the changes I make, all my attempts will fail. I can't even disable everything for some players, so I can't live with the plugin at all (I just get noise using squeeze2upnp players). I'm assuming that because my players are so different the general settings are irrelevant. I do not understand when you seem to suggest changing player-specific settings and then tick 'use general settings' - surely if they are 'specific' they are not 'general'? You say LMS doesn't support pcm. Well my understanding (using squeeze2upnp) is that it does. Looking at the standard flac file type settings, the option is convert to pcm, not to wav. In fact, as I understand it, the developer of that plugin had to specifically add wav headers for players that could not handle raw pcm. As to not using the squeezelite options, I think it clarifies that I am wasting your time - I'm just not getting where this is coming from or going to - sorry - I am not very clever at this stuff. In my case squeezelite and LMS are, usually, on the same machine. So I think it's best if we just drop this conversation. You are better off testing with someone who understands LMS, and audio, much better than I do and can help you with what you are doing. I'm sure it's really good for some situations, but I'm too dim to make it work. Sorry for wasting your time. LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi box, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. LMS plugin UPnP/DLNA Bridge to MF M1 CLiC (to 405/2 amp & ESLs) & Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers. Alternatively Minimserver & Upplay to same & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers. Squeezelite to Meridian USB Explorer DAC to PC speakers/headphones. Wireless Xubuntu 15.10 laptop firefox/upplay or Android 'phone with Squeeze-Commander/BubbleUPnP controls LMS/Minimserver. Also a Touch with EDO, plus spare, unused. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105309
