Thanks in advance!
Last questiion first. Squeezleite-R2 is needed only to play 'native' dsd in Linux boxes, just remember to use -W in command line with 'normal' squeezelite. While any functionality in R2 (other than DSD native playback, at moment) is included in the standard version, R2 is meant to be as lean as it could, so if you need funcytionalities other than 'native' PCM or DSD playback, you better use standard version. Not sure Falcon is working with non R2 versions, please let me know about. Dithering is not required in 'bitperfedct' playback, so 'automatic is the same as no dither in your case, but the option should work! Probably is a bug, I'll have a check on it, thanks. Out of curiosity: what do you use C-3PO for if not converting or upsampling? ________________________________________________________________________ Author of C-3PO plugin, Squeezelite-R2, Falcon Web interface - See www.marcoc1712.it ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marcoc1712's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105309 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
