Ron, I'm no expert in transcoding and mplayer (that's rather bpa). But there's one important note regarding mplayer used in SlimCD: it's flipflip's patched version to allow piping data to stdout. This was needed because there are some limitations writing to the audio output device in SlimCD. (please see flip's notes about mplayer-stdout in SSODS's readme: http://oinkzwurgl.org/downloads/ssods/README.txt).
Your approach about using the wiki's convert.conf entry might be better than adapting one of the existing lines from the rtsp conversion. Just make sure you're piping data to stdout instead of /dev/fd/4: > 2007-05-30 07:20:50.3107 Found command: [mplayer] -ac faad -demuxer > aac -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -bandwidth 1000000 -cache 128 -af > volume=0,resample=44100:0:1,channels=2 -ao > pcm:nowaveheader:file=/dev/fd/4 $FILE$ 4>&1 1>/dev/null | [flac] -cs > --totally-silent --endian=little --channels=2 --sign=signed --bps=16 > --sample-rate=44100 --compression-level-0 - Similar to the rtsp line this should be something like "...pcm:nowaveheader:file=- ..." (where "-" represents stdout). Michael _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
