Developers' Area / 32 bits do not work in output mb-plugins.
« on: October 05, 2021, 06:12:37 PM »
There is a problem: 32-bit output does not work in mb format output plugins (mb_*.dll placed in the plugins folder).
I am trying to create my own output plugin (and I would like to publish it further), based on UPnP/ DLNA device support, changing the string in the file Encoder.vb:
to get 32 float output instead of 24 bits. And 32 bits are really obtained, but there are clicks in the sound always when decoding is enabled. That is, for example, on flac + cue files, or on others when the dsp is enabled.
When decoder or dsp is not needed, or when output 16 or 24 bits = no clicks.
In particular, I use the output to Aplayer Media Renderer (upnp) built into APlayer (not to be confused with another "big" player called "album player"). And on almost all formats where decoding is necessary, there are clicks and breaks in the sound.
I tried the MusicBee-HQPlayer plugin, which is also based on UPnP/ DLNA device support, changed this line of code in it too to get a 32-bit output, and there were also clicks on mp3 and flac + cue files.
Help to get rid of this problem. Maybe it's a bug with the Sockets_Encoder_Start function, or I don't understand how to configure the BASS components correctly so that the buffer problems disappear. But I have tried to do this many times without success.
