I came up with that for use on my Centos (Redhat) system. I needed to
change the output command to "pcm:file=/dev/fd/4 $FILE$ 4>&1 1>&2
2>/dev/null". It was originally "pcm:file=/dev/fd/4 $FILE$ 4>&1
1>/dev/null" which someone else had posted, but that didn't work on my
system. You might want to try that. As I said, you can review this on
the previous thread.
Also, these settings need to be put in your existing convert.conf or in
a new seperare slimserver-convert.conf file. You shouldn't need to alter
your types.conf file
For what it's worth if you are just going to play AAC files and not
ALAC files you can just use FAAD directly. MPLAYER is only required if
you are trying to play ALAC files. For that the line I used to use in
the convert.conf file was:
Code:
--------------------
mov mp3 * *
[faad] -w $FILE$ | [lame] -r -b $BITRATE$ - -
--------------------
Again, I had this working on a Redhat system, but it should work for
you with only minor tweaking if at all.
