PCP 6.1.0 - Issue with .cue. (LMS 8.0)

[bpa]

Thank you.

Seriously, I think you’ve done enough!

It’s a weird problem for sure, but (for me at least) it’s about 3 albums out of about 3000.

I’ll downgrade back to 6.0.0 if I need to.

Since you can reproduce at will, it would be better to find the reason.
If it is not sorted out - it will reappear and take time getting back to same stage. I was involved in the last issue with a WAVE/cue files and I am wondering whether the solution was 100% (e.g. you have Flac/cue) or some side effect has happened.

I would agree with getting to the bottom of this. You could try the PCP7 beta. That would for sure have the latest of everything.

If possible stay with current setup just until at least tests with flac and sox are complete. Then we'll have a benchmark to compare against.

I think I have reproduced the problem. I think it is not due to 6.0 vs 6.1. 6.0 player h/w does not require resampling but 6.1 does require resampling.

My 8.0.0 was a little old but transcoding/resampling worked OK. I updated to latest and it is now broken. So issues looks like not 6.0 - 6.1 but LMS 8.0 update

A 1-Nov-2020 LMS 8.0 change to convert.conf to support streaming Tidal Flac seems to have broken Flac/Cue file transcoding with resampling. AFAICT nothing to do with PCP 6.0 vs 6.1.

The change is https://github.com/Logitech/slimserv...07949b9be5c527

The change make flac input to come from stdin rather than the file.

I did this - it didn't work (same behaviour as 6.0.1).

I used another card to try 7.0.0 - so no harm done. I'm back with 6.0.1.

You are amazingly intelligent!

. I updated to latest and it is now broken. So issues looks like not 6.0 - 6.1 but LMS 8.0 update

Not so sure on this - I have only one LMS8.0 server. It plays fine to the 6.0.0 player, but not to the 6.0.1 player........

Can I try manually changing this line on my server?

You could override the rule by using a custom-convert file.
