Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! This works perfectly! Thank you also for your comments about the ffmpeg documentation. I made a good living as a mainframe programmer for decades, so it's always more than a little embarrassing when I try to read documentation and find that I just don't get it. Thank you also to JohnB: MP4Box also worked as long as I did a two-step process by first going to an .aac file, then converting that .aac to .m4a. Given how fast it worked, I'm confident there was no re-encoding. That in turn gave me the idea to try a two-step approach with ffmpeg, and that also worked. Telling ffmpeg to go MP4->.aac->.m4a made LMS happy, but obviously any true one-line solution is going to be preferable. I've encapsulated it in a bash script file with lots of comments. Now I'm off to score a copy of that record and play with the YouTube plugin. Thank you everyone again very, very much! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109839 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
