OGG ssc setup question

[jsievert]

I am trying to set up mt-daapd version 3.0_pre1372 in Gentoo and I am having some trouble getting the transcodeing to work. From what I have seen in the fourm so far my config file just needs these two lines.

ssc_codectypes = ogg,flac,alac
ssc_prog = /usr/bin/mt-daapd-ssc.sh

And then if I do a mt-daapd -f -d5 I should see a new thread being started fotr the transcode process. Instead all I am getting in Itunes is a quick scratch. Any ideas as to what I am missing?

Thanks in advance….

To serve ogg files, you also need to put ogg in the filetypes list in the config file (ie along with mp3 etc), as well as in the ssc_codectypes section.

Also your mt-daapd needs to have been built with –enable-ogg (and –enable-flac if you want flac also).

Try a -d9, and set a logfile in the config. Then you’ll better see what’s going on, including what the command line is that it’s executing.

You’ll want to make sure you have oggdec installed as well.

Well I know I do have .ogg in the extension line.

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

I also do see the ogg files in itunes, just all I get is about a one second screech.

As for haveing oggdec installed, I did check and it was there. Also I do have the vorbis use flag enabled.

When I get home tonight I will enable -d9 and the log file and post info from both.

Thanks for the hints!

Got the log file with -d 9, here is the part where it finds the song and starts the stream.

Doesn’t look like you are using the script transcoder. Check your [plugins] section, and make sure you have “ssc-script.so” listed as a plugin.

It should look like:

[plugins]
plugin_dir = /path/to/plugin/dir
plugins=rsp.so,ssc-script.so

— Ron

[jsievert]

Getting closer!
I added :

[plugins]
plugin_dir = /usr/share/mt-daapd/plugins/
plugins = rsp.so,ssc-script.so

And this is what I got in the log files.

Don’t think so. What client are you using? Looks like it doesn’t play .wav files.

so much for that idea.

You might check the transcode script (/usr/bin/mt-daapd-ssc.sh) and make sure it has a full path to oggdec.

That’s about all I can think of.
