Good that the use case is explained. Bad - that you are trying to play video files. LMS audio etc is setup to play audio files not video file. > It would be cool for the video to display on the Squeezebox Touch's > screen, but that's not indispensable. Never going to happen for man many reasons. The first one is that community is unable to build Touch firmware and so it is not possible to add new decoders. Second would be CPU power & memory of the Touch is probably too limited. > So you confirm that the MPEG-4 file types should be "disabled" and not > "native"? Yes and No. Definitely disable MPEG4 as you have a video file and so native would never work. MPEG4 is a container - so could container one audio track or many "track" - video , synced audio, secondary audio, synced metadata etc. Current LMS usage generally assumes MPEG-4 to be audio only. Since mid 7.9.2 there are two MPEG-4 filetypes - "MPEG-4" and "MPEG-4 leading audio" the 2nd type was added to support native decoding of MPEG-4 files that have been configured for streaming (MPEG-4 is complex with many options). Only the "MPEG-4" has a "native option" While default MPEG-4 transcoding is done via faad - I don't know if faad can handle video (multi track) files. If after diabling "native", transcoding with faad doesn't work then you'll need to a custom-convert.conf file with ffmpeg instead of faad and probably special options to discard video. There are other post showing how to use ffmpeg for MPEG-4 but IIRC none have the "discard video" part. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108804 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
