C-3PO plugin, a trnscoding helper.

[bpa]

It’s not a C-3PO issue, it is a LMS issue … 8.3.1 works fine while 8.4.x and beyond doesn’t work … and the C-3PO version is exactly the same, therefore something in lms 8.4.x is broken/bugged … and unfortunately there isn’t any hint in any log

LMS changes between version sometimes breaking plugins to add functionality (i.e. add releases to database, support removal of mysqueezebox.com)
The plugin has to keep up with the LMS changes.
The C-3PO repo has not been updated for 4 years.
Contact plugin author - they were on the forum recently.

You have not provided any logs to allow any body help you.
As I said before sometimes it is the message that are missing that show the problem (i.e. the hint is the LACK of a message)

Enable LMS & C-3PO (as I think it is a special executable) logging for both system and post full logs to show the difference in handling.

Why don't you ask the C-3PO author for confirmation? For a report about how 8.4 does break his plugin?

Maybe the plugin doesn't work because the author decided not to have it work on future LMS versions before having tested compatibility. And then he run out of time to do the update on his end.

I am trying to play DSF file using C-3PO. And faced the issue it is much slower than DSDPlayer when doing conversion to PCM, and this is causing music to breack-up since CPU usage is very high. I wonder why and if I can fix it via tweaking some options, or may be this is due to SOX binary is not optimized comparing to embeded SOX into DSDPlayer.

Resulting command liens are:

>dsdplay -R v -r 88200 <file>
>sox -q -t dsf <file> -t wav -b 24 --buffer 32768 - lowpass -1 50000 gain -h rate -v -I -b 90.7 -f 88200

And for some reason SOX one is very CPU consuming and causing music interrupts. Any advice is appreciated

Playing on words doesn’t bring anywhere … my point of view is as follows:
Using Minimserver as Remote Music Library transcoding flac and alac to wav

• works on Daphile using C-3PO
• doesn’t work in LMS using C-3PO

as the Remote Music Library and C-3PO plugin versions are the same for both LMS and Daphile it actually seems that there is some kind of bug in LMS … isn’t it?
thanks

Sorry for the late answer, but if it works in Daphile and not in LMS (what squeezelite version?) the problem si probaly related to some different component between the two environment, major suspected is squeezelite.

Could you please post the version of squeezelite you are using, the c-3po settings and the screenshot of the 'last executed command' from inside C-3PO in the (active) player section when playng white noise?

Thanks.

Pretty sure this has been fixed now 😀

to be more precise the issue occurs playing 24/96 (and up) flac transcoded to wav by Minimstreamer, it doesn’t occur playin 16/44.1 flac transcoded to wav

YOu should see something like this:



That I believe is self explanatory. BTW, C-3PO is not changed in 4 years becouse there is no needs for changes, ifsomeone dosees not like something, is free software you could fork and modify it, i'll be glad to receive your pull requests.
