RC (Inguz etc.)

I don't know... I will try...

As it stands, iPlayer (listen live anyway) works but doesn't invoke inguz...
I guess you want to use inguz on the iplayer streams?

Getting it to work on the iPlayer AAC Live streams would be fantastic, (or even better of course to work on all internet radio!). It seems odd to me that it doesn't happen "naturally" but I guess the processing stream is different .. I don't really have much of an idea as to the internal workings of it all unfort..

remember I hacked plugin.pm to insert inguz ONLY for flac and MP3? - iplayer uses aac or wma... I'll have a go...

OK - attached files fix iplayer listen again - but listen live is a mystery to me!

Hi Phil, when you are publishing custom-convert file shouldn’t you tell people that they cannot use it directly since it contains the MAC address reference of your device i.e. 00:04:20:22:01:8e in the posted file?

For some unknown reason when I install Inguz (0.9.32 last version) with SBS 7.5.2, it does not register my Touch and thus don't create the new custom-convert file. I had to hack the previous custom-convert file by manually replace the MAC address of my previous SB2. After that it works perfectly either on Touch and on SBS display.

From the last Phil's custom-convert file we need only those lines but with our device MAC address:

flc flc transcode 00:04:20:22:01:8e
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}D:{RESAMPLE=rate -v -s 96k}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -v0.965 -t wav - -t wav -C 0 - rate -v -s -M -a 96000 | [InguzDSP] -id "00:04:20:22:01:8e" -wav -wavo -d 24 | [flac] -cs -0 --totally-silent -


flc flc * 00:04:20:22:01:8e
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}D:{RESAMPLE=rate -v -s 96k}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -v0.965 -t wav - -t wav -C 0 - rate -v -s -M -a 96000 | [InguzDSP] -id "00:04:20:22:01:8e" -wav -wavo -d 24 | [flac] -cs -0 --totally-silent -


And one has to add those in front of the original flc flc line : # #flc flc

It worked for me. I'm not an expert thus forgive any possible mistake, but maybe it can help some of you.

BTW there is also an Inguz version reference line in the plugin.pm file:

# ------ names and versions ------

# Revision number.
# Anytime the revision number is incremented, the plugin will rewrite the
# slimserver-convert.conf, requiring restart.
#
my $revision = "0.9.30";

I replaced it with 0.9.32

erm - yes! oops well spotted Chris. It was only supposed to be a guide :-)

Hmm - big thanks for looking into this and creating the 2 new files, which I installed and then rebooted the PC. Sadly InguzDSP.exe never ran again! The EQ user interface seems to work normally but no EQ sound processing. I reinstalled the original plugin.pm and custom-convert.conf from 3jan2011 and still no joy. There seem to be a bunch of errors in server.log which unfort make no sense to me at all. Any ideas? I am running SBS 7.5.1 on Win7. Oddly no new files seem to be being created in C:\Users\All Users\InguzEQ\Temp.

Yes - the error messages in server.log are a red herring. As Chris pointed out, you need to edit the convert.conf file I supplied with wordpad, replacing the mac addresses of my devices with those of your devices.
You only need to do this once.

After that you need to restart sbs.

I did that and it now works. Yiha! A few notes and q's though

- why on earth did it work for several days in the first place (with the incorrect MAC addresses)?

- I dind't update the Inguz version number as kryzs suggested (I have the latest Inguz from Inguz's website installed)

- like youself I have two SB3s which are sync'd, so I updated custom-convert.conf with both MAC addresses. But I can only change EQ settings from my main SB3. The secondary SB3 let's me load a different preset but this has no effect. This second SB3 is the second set of parameters in the custom-convert.conf file. This doesn't bother me at all.

- the listen again doesn't work for me but this is a minor problem. But I am puzzled that it works for you since Listen Again on AAC is broken at the moment - apparently a problem with BBC. Frankly I only listen to BBC live anyway. Not a problem.

Let me take this opportunity to thank you for your help keeping this plugin alive!

I edited my post and dropped this recommendation, forget it. It isn't necessary since the only change between the 30 and 32 versions is the plugin expiration date removal by Inguz

1) - not sure
2) - Chris has answered this
3) - Not sure - I only use Inguz on my Touch, not on my Boom
4) - iPlayer Listen Again works fine for me (with Inguz)
5) - listen live works fine for me, but inguz is not loaded - not sure why exactly but is to do with the filetypes required for LISTEN LIVE

cheers
