    Sorry to add yet another transcoding problem to the forum… 😉
    Workaround provided at the end…

    When I run mt-daapd through /etc/init.d/mt-daapd start, I can’t play .ogg. Log says:

    2005-11-04 15:35:27: Session 0: Streaming file 'Soundfile.ogg' to 192.168.XX.YY (offset 0)
    
2005-11-04 15:35:27: Got CLD signal.  Reaping

    But iTunes stays at 0:00 of the song, nothing happens. If I change the daemon file to -d9, I get the following inside the log:

    2005-11-04 15:39:44: Session 0: Streaming file 'Soundfile.ogg' to 192.168.XX.YY (offset 0)

    Again, nothing plays.

    But if I run /usr/local/bin/mt-daapd -d9 -f, everything works fine:

    Session 0: Streaming file 'Soundfile.ogg' to 192.168.XX.YY (offset 0)

    I’ve now switched to running mt-daapd by saying mt-daapd & and transcoding works now (testing only .ogg, but I guess the rest will be the same). I’ve got now idea why it wouldn’t work daemonized, but if anyone else has the same problem, try this first 🙂

    Update: even though I used –enable-oggvorbis –enable-musepack –enable-flac, while ogg works, both flac and musepack fail. For Musepack, I at least get “Finished streaming converted file to remote, for flac I get:

    Soundfile.flac: ERROR while decoding data
    
state = 3:FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_FRAME

    The flacs have been generated by the original Windows flac frontend and tagged with WinAmp.

    both then continue with the bug above that has been solved for ogg.

    Crazy machine 😡

    hrm… sounds like the transcoding script not working. make sure your transcoding scripts work fine form the command line.

    Also, know that your env is probably differnt when it’s running as a daemon, so you might need to explicityly set path, etc in the top of your transcoding script.

    I tried the transcoding script from the command line before, it streams the right things to the console 😉
    I had even added the path to oggdec, but flac and wavstreamer were in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin, never thought that would be a problem.

    Adding them explicitely really helped – ogg and flac playback are now perfect even in daemon mode, many thanks 🙂

    Leaves Musepack, but for that I’ll continue on my own 🙂
