I am in a similar situation, the only difference is that my slimserver runs on my Windows desktop PC. I have tried conversion with mplayer and with besweet, both unsuccessful so far.
I have tried the following lines in the convert.conf, after a leading line "ac3 wav * *": [BeSweet\BeSweet] -core( -input "d:\test.ac3" -output #PIPE# -2ch ) [mplayer] -really-quiet -ao pcm:nowaveheader:file=#PIPE# $FILE$ [mplayer] -really-quiet -ao pcm:nowaveheader:file=- $FILE$ I have taken that #PIPE# idea from the wiki article an aac+ (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?AACplus). Conversion on the command line works. I think my problem is that I do not really know how to direct mplayer's or besweet's output into slimserver because to my knowledge both mplayer and besweet require an output file, but i might be wrong there. I have used "-" and "#PIPE#" a output files, but both did not work. Maybe someone with extended knowledge of besweet or mplayer could help. I would be grateful. -- rumpel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rumpel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10589 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29638 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
