Just tested the codec-priority patch for flac. It works for me.
New Logic: ****** If there's more then one output-codec enabled per input-codec on LMS (Advanced/Filetypes) , the order of codecs as defined with squeezelite by using the "-c" option defines the precedence of codecs and conversion rules used for this client on LMS. ****** What's that for? Let's say. All my collection is flac. 1. I want some WLAN clients receive mp3s due to bandwidth limitations 2. I want to run flacs on other squeezelite clients 3. PCM on another client and 4. Resampled PCM/convolution on another dedicated client identified by its MAC. To accomplish this I'd have to enable 4 conversion rules for flac. Before having this patch, the communicated order of codecs from squeezelite was fixed. flac came first. Because of this, there's been no way to run the mp3 rule or pcm rules. The flac rule had precedence and were overriding all others. For me having several clients in the network this patch is a big step forward. There's still a problem with other clients then squeezelite. I'm not aware of any other client ( e.g. ipeng-player or its android companions) offering such a setup. On the other hand this patch IMO must be considered just a workaround to cover up a major weakness in that area on LMS. And LMS should actually be the place where things get sorted out and not the whole world around it. Again thx for the patch. ::: ' Touch Toolbox and more' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com) ::: by soundcheck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
