Just like the shell one.

Basically, put in your extensions an “unsupported” file type. Let’s say “ogg”. so:


extensions = .mp3,.m4a,.m4p,.ogg

okay, then set up your ssc stuff:


ssc_codectypes = ogg
ssc_prog = /path/to/mt-daapd-ssc.pl

then force a rescan, either by deleting your db, or running with the -r option. Then when you click on an ogg file in iTunes, it gets converted to .wav by mt-daapd-ssc.pl

You can also use mt-daapd-ssc.sh, which requires less “stuff”, but works with less file types, though.
