hi ron,

I have found the file “mpc_0.12.1-1_armeb.ipk” at http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/nslu2/cross/unstable/.

I am not sure, but can I use this one? And if yes, how can I install it?

Thanks for any help

“ipkg install mpc” should do it.

thanks ron for your help.
The installation worked.
Now my soundbridge M1001 can see the mpc audio files but is still unable to play the musepack files.

I have installed “mpc_0.12.1-1_armeb.ipk”and “libmpcdec_1.2.6-1_armeb.ipk”. In the folder /opt/bin/ of my slug the new file “mpc” is visible. Therefore I have changed the code of the mt-daapd-ssh.sh file as follows:

…
MPC=/opt/bin/mpc
…
mpc_file() {
$MPC –wav –prev –gain 2 “$FILE” | $WAVSTREAMER -o $OFFSET $FORGELEN
…
if ( echo $1 | grep -i “.mpc$” > /dev/null 2>&1 ); then
mpc_file
exit;
fi
…

The libmpcdec files are visible in the /opt/lib/ folder.

Moreover, in the config file of firefly, I have added “.mpc” as extension and the “SSC codec-types” are “ogg,flac,alac,unkn”. I have read this in a former thread – but I am not sure, if this is right in my case.

If anybody knows the mistake, I would be very happy.

The codectype for mpc is “mpc”. Add that to your codectypes and see what that does.

hi ron,

I have added “mpc” to the codectypes. But the soundbridge can not play the audio. The display show “unable to play the file”. Moreover, when I additionally delete “unkn” from the codectypes, the soundbridge do not recognize the mpc files as audio file. I can see the file name but no audio symbol at the left site of the soundbridge display.

I have also find out that the “mpc_0.12.1-1_armeb.ipk” file is a command line tool to interface MPD. I guess this is no decoder for musepack audio files, isn’t?

Now, I am a little bit helpless how to proceed. I have looked in the package search of optware to find any mpc deocder, but nothing found.

Any idea to play my musepack audios?

I am very happy about any help.

Hrm… the issue will be finding a musepack decoder for the slug.

Might actually be easier to find a mpc->flac converter. 🙂
