- Thanks for reporting the bug about ALAC file transcoding. It will be fixed in the next update (ETA ~ before the 15th). The next one will be the upgrade from 8.1 to 8.2. - About ports: they have always been broken or severely outdated. Even when working they are still a very time consuming a fragile way to install a software. So my personal suggestion about the "current state of ports" is to just do not use them. - the FreeBSD perl5 version is not the real problem. The problem is that if the system-wide perl gets an update and LMS doesn't support it then LMS stops working. This is why to build a local version of perl to use with LMS and leave the system-wide for everything else. - I've looked on the manifest you linked me, he seems to also take a lot of perl modules that are already included in the LMS installation (slimserver-vendor repository) and the generic binaries for transcoding instead of compiling them statically linked with the options currently used for LMS. (again, available on the slimserver-vendor repository). - About working with titou386: it's up to you, I don't use FreeNAS and I won't develop custom solution for FreeNAS only https://audiodigitale.eu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simonef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113909 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
