I have read the forums regarding how to configure the
custom-convert.conf file to play AAC. My operating system is Solaris.
For some reason, I am unable to play these files. Here are some things
that I have noticed:
1) Many of the posts have us create a new transcoding rule with "mov"
as the source. However, I see in the logs that the server is actually
looking for rules with "mp4" as the source:
Code:

supported:
--------------------
2) All of the [faad] commands are passing a "-q" parameter. My version
of faad (from opencsw) does not support this option. What does this
option do? Is it important, or can I just remove it from my
convert.conf file commands?
2) I am seeing a lot of commands rejected when evaluating the
convert.conf and custom-convert.conf files.
Code:
--------------------
Found command: [faad] -q -w -f 1 $FILE$ | [lame] --silent -q $QUALITY$
$BITRATE - -

because required capability T not supported:*
--------------------
Why is it checking for capability "T"?
3) My SoftSqueeze play does not play sound. I can see the progress bar
moving in SqueezeCenter, so it's acting like it is playing sound.
I a bunch of lines like this while it's "playing"
Code:
--------------------

--------------------
4) I have tried running these commands on the command line directly and
they seem to transcode the file just fine. For example:
Here is the last part of my log:
Code:

--------------------
5) I have manually run the mplayer command and I do get a WAV file that
I can listen to. Then, I manually run lame using the WAV file as input,
and all I get is silence when I play the file. It seems like lame may
be the issue here since it apparently can't correctly encode the WAV
generated by mplayer.
Thoughts?
