could you play a flac file in foobar and send me the foobar log

Do you require specific settings in FB when I test this?

But how comes that the version from 16.11.2014 works fine ?

please redownload all the files

unzip and replace the existing files where MB is installed:

and updated plugin to be unzipped and placed in the plugins folder:

What I don't understand, with this settings:



shouldn't MB transcode flac files to mp3 on the fly, and then shouldn't lpcm be any issue at all?
If we can't get flac to work, I would be happy to have flacs transcoded to mp3 on the fly.

fyi,
With this setting flac does not play, but there are no errors displaying, no silence/bursts, but to my slight surprise the Squeezebox is displaying the correct file info on it's display.

[hiccup]

Will do, probably tonight or tomorrow.
Cheers.

in your logs, you had replay gain enabled - some files had replay gain tags and were being transcoded and some didnt and played. So for the purpose of the test you need to make sure replay gain is disabled in MB. Transcoding to MP3 would probably work though

@ hiccup
I noticed in your settings, you have your device rendering settings set at 44100. The Squeezebox Classic supports 44100 and 48000 Hz and 24bit.
I found when testing for the PS3, that if I had my settings locked at 44100, than FLAC files wouldn't play.  Changed the range 44100 to 48000 and all FLAC's (except the 24/96 ones) worked.  Put the full PS3 range in, 44100 to 176400, and my 24/96 files were playable too.

Maybe this setting needs to be changed for you as well.

edited for typo

Wow, thank you!

That indeed helps. Without using RG, flac is now playing indeed!
I don't understand though, the flac file is 44100, and also I set the MB plugin to 44100.

Probably later today I will start experimenting more, then using the new versions Steven uploaded today.
Thanks to you we might be making some good progress here!

your 41000 is a typo?

doh!  yes it was

since FLAC support is native for Squeezebox, it might only accept them at 48kHz?

@bee-liever, in your case because the PS3 doesnt support flac then transcoding will be applied by the plugin and hence the transcode settings kick in
@hiccup, in your case the flac file is sent as a raw file for the device itself to decode and the transcode settings shouldnt make any difference unless the sample rate of the flac file exceeds the configured min/max value in the device capabilities section. But in that case as with RG, trancoding to LPCM (or what ever the transcode format is) will apply

@vzell, redownload the plugin now

@bee-liever, in your case because the PS3 doesnt support flac then transcoding will be applied by the plugin and hence the transcode settings kick in

Yes, that's how it is now.  When you/we started out getting the PS3 settings to work, I had to set the device sample rate to 48kHz for the PS3 to not show "unsupported format" for normal flac files, but 24/96 flac still didn't show.  I then searched for the PS3 specs and found the upper limit was 176400, set the device properties to match, and the 24/96 files were recognised as well.

As you were still working on Squeezebox problems, I thought that a similar change may not yet have taken place for those circumstances. hiccup reporting that changing those settings with RG off did make flac files start playing for him sort of suggests this could be the case.

Yap...now it works again :-)

Yap...now it works again :-)

What was the problem ?

By the way ...thanks a lot

[hiccup]

Tried again with latest updates.
(and set 'device rendering capabilities' from 22050 to 48000 to be sure)

Back to the old flac problems.
Flac won't play. Only silence/noise bursts.
foobar plays the same file without any problem.
Tried again with MB, still the same problem.

In my testing efforts, once even foobar didn't play anymore after some unsuccessful tries with MB, and had to restart my pc to get it playing again.
