Handling of High Res Wave Files

[s25a]

Hi Michael,

some issues with HighRes Wav Files (which you can buy at native DSD)

referring to: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?97046-Announce-Squeezelite-a-small-headless-squeezeplay-emulator-for-linux-(alsa-only)&p=918633&viewfull=1#post918633

It seems that LMS tries to convert the wav files to flac by default and 2 don't play because the WAV flac/sox transcoding fails.

I am not sure where exactly the problem is... I have uploaded it to my OneDrive maybe you can have a look at the file: https://1drv.ms/f/s!Al2Cg0XrL0I-gcEK5kXF_kHtucByxg
(File 1 is working with warnings in the log file 2 and 3 don't play...error in LOG)

Here is the logfile posted by Ralphy: [18-08-14 14:02:24.1155] Slim::Player::Song::open (559) Tokenized command: "/opt/logitechmediaserver/Bin/i386-linux/flac " -cs --totally-silent --compression-level-4 -- "/u/audio/testfiles/What-A-Wonderful-World_DXD352KHz_2chDXD.wav" | "/opt /logitechmediaserver/Bin/i386-linux/sox" -q -t flac - -t flac -C 4 - & | [18-08-14 14:02:24.1352] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_Stream (1265) b8:27:eb:c1:dc:cd: stream [18-08-14 14:02:24.1369] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_Stream (1302) Song queue is now 0 [18-08-14 14:02:24.1372] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_setPlayingState (2357) new playing state BUFFERING [18-08-14 14:02:24.1373] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_setStreamingState (2366) new streaming state STREAMING [18-08-14 14:02:24.1612] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::getConvertCommand2 (446) Matched: wav->flc via: [flac] -cs --t otally-silent --compression-level-4 $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t flac - -t flac -C 4 $RESAMPLE$ - [18-08-14 14:02:24.1619] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::getConvertCommand2 (446) Matched: wav->flc via: [flac] -cs --t otally-silent --compression-level-4 $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t flac - -t flac -C 4 $RESAMPLE$ - [18-08-14 14:02:24.2302] Slim::Player::Source::_readNextChunk (373) end of file or error on socket, song pos: 155933762 [18-08-14 14:02:24.2304] Slim::Player::Source::_readNextChunk (378) b8:27:eb:c1:dc:cd mark end of stream [18-08-14 14:02:24.2306] Slim::Player::Source::_readNextChunk (386) Didn't stream any bytes for this song; mark it as fa iled

If you need some further testing please let me know. Thanks a lot

Hi Michael,

would it be possible to just pass through the wav Files without any conversion?
Especially for the HighRes Files this would make sense.

Thanks S

You can disable transcoding to flac in Settings/Advanced/File Types.

Hi Michael,

thanks a lot. Sorry my fault. I did that already a few weeks ago (forgot to mention it :-) ). The issue that is that the output is extremly bad quality. It's like a white noise with a a little bit of the song in the background.

Thanks S
