transcoding failed

[notizblock]

hi,
i use debian sarge with latest firefly svn-1498…

works fine except transcoding.

i got you a part of the mt-daapd’s log (level 9) when i click on an ogg file:

Code:

if i do:

Code:

/usr/bin/mt-daapd-ssc.sh “/media/music/Metal/in_flames/in_live_we_trust_cd_1__live_at_hammersmith/in_flames – 07 – trigger.ogg'” 0 281.000 “ogg” > test.wav

a wav file is created. it can be played by vlc and rhythmbox…

what’s going on here?

why is ogg transcoding not working?

[notizblock]

i’m sorry.

i posted the wrong output. here is the correct one:

Session 0: Streaming file 'in_flames - 04 - cloud_connected.ogg' to 192.168.1.102 (offset 0)

What kind of client is this? Is it a linux client using gstreamer?

[notizblock]

it’s rhythmbox.

i think it uses gstreamer, yes!

thx

well then you do not have to transcode ogg 😉
I remember there’s been issues with non-soundbridge clients and transcoding, don’t know how that progressed, so far.

[notizblock]

ok, i’ll try it…

[notizblock]

well, you’re right.

no transcoding is the best solution!

working great now, thanks!

greetings

Good to hear. 🙂

Just for your info:
This obviously works with clients who support ogg/vorbis, like Rhythmbox.
iTunes will choke on these, as will a soundbridge.

If you only listen through Rhythmbox, your solution is great. Otherwise, not so great – but there is no real fix for this out, yet.

Transcoding based on the client is something that is being worked on, rest assured 😉

Well the transcoding should work though. I got it running exactly with debian/sarge on a NSLU and playblack/transcoding to a SoundBridge.

Cannot write sounds to me like some file or directory rights arent set right.

In order to get oggdec to work you need to patch out the big endian byteswap manually. I posted about that earlier. But your problem is a different one. I am refering to the next problem your would have had hehe.
