There you know more than I do. But we don't even exactly know what is
causing the stuttering, as most tracks on TIDAL would play just fine.

You're actually right! I was mislead by this comment in convert.conf:
Code:
--------------------
# <destination_device_type>: currently slimp3, squeezebox, or *.
# The * is a wildcard that matches all device
# types.
--------------------
But the problem is that the default rules can't be modified to do
transcoding, as this seems to break the CUE sheet & transcoding use
case. With the custom formatOverride OTOH we can have the rules for
TIDAL only, thus not interfering with CUE sheets. And with the above
player type rules I can create this, which seems to be doing the job:
Code:
--------------------
tdlflc mp3 * *
# IFB:{BITRATE=--abr
%B}T:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}D:{RESAMPLE=--resample %D}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [lame] --silent -q $QUALITY$
$RESAMPLE$ $BITRATE$ - -
tdlflc pcm * *
# IFT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -dcs --force-raw-format --endian=little --sign=signed $START$
$END$ -- $FILE$
tdlflc aif * *
# IFT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -dcs --force-raw-format --endian=big --sign=signed $START$ $END$
-- $FILE$
# no native FLAC straming for ip3k, as some tracks stutter on original
hardware
tdlflc flc squeezeplay *
-
--------------------
I know, it's disabling flac -> flac for TIDAL on ip3k. But the previous
rule using sox would break seeking...
