Don't worry, you are welcome, but let me abuse a little more of yor patient: We have General settings and Player Specific Settings in different pages. For each player you could decide to use the general settings (normal situation, as I was asking You to do) OR enable the capability to change same settings that you have in 'general' but for the specific player. This is done by unchecking the "use general settings" box. This is normally not necessary, and it was not in my advice in the last post. When you state: " 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." wich specific setting are you referring? Seems like a big bug, but I can't replicate it, could you please name one specific setting that's broken that way? --- FIY: WAV vs PCM in LMS is a bit confusing. Sometime it name it PCM and sometime WAV, but what is streamed is wav (or aiff), this is what I realized and moved me to modify squeezelite. If it where raw pcm I had no chance. I'll have a look to the plugin you mention, sound strange to me, but if it does what you say, for sure it could not work with upsampled PCM/WAV/AIFF stream: what information is writing to the header? If it trust LMS, is wrong, how is it guessing them? That, indeed, explain why it does not work with C-3PO (and will not work with custom-convert.conf too). To stream and decode WAV (or AIFF or PCM) you need the modified version of squeezelite, that trust on the fact that the stream ALWAIS contains a valid header and don't care what LMS reports. The only other way is make LMS report the correct format info in the steam information block sent to the player. --- If you have squeezelite and LMS on the same machine, best is to use "Local player plugin" and nothing more.
