AAC playback/streaming stopped after installing SC 7.3

[moso]

I have followed the instructions in this thread to modify custom-convert.conf, but my M4A files will not play and I get this error message in the server log;

[08-12-20 08:18:32.7961] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::_getCapabilities (163) Capabilities for mov-mp3-*-*: syntax error in FB:{BITRATE=-B %B}
[08-12-20 08:18:32.7965] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::_getCapabilities (163) Capabilities for mov-wav-*-*: syntax error in F

Any ideas?

There must be one and only one white space before the # and one and one white space after the hash

 # F               correct
# F                incorrect
  # F              incorrect
 #  F              incorrect

White space can be space or tab but not a tab expanded into spaces by editor.

Thanks - I solved it by starting a fresh file and typing the lines in manually. Using notepad in Windows and copying to the linux machine was just too simple..

SC will always choose mov->flac first so the cause of your stuttering might be either disabled mov->flac.

Is this documented anywhere? It doesn't seem to appear in the Wiki, the comments on the convert.conf, or in a cursory google search.

That comment related to a specific problem. Stuttering is the most common symptom of a problem but the source of the problem will depend on the user system/network configuration, the players, server and how it is being used.
