#AAC FILE PLAYER MAC#
On big endian platforms (such as powerpc-based Mac Minis. Otherwise, you'll just get static on playback. See associated forum post#26 for more details. Note, in the entries below, depending on your version of LAME the -x option may or may not be needed to swap the byte order coming out of FAAD. SqueezeCenter takes its transcoding rules from these three files with the first file taking precedence and moving down from there. /usr/local/squeezecenter/nf (path may differ based on where you installed).There can be up to 3 files which control transcoding: Once you have those installed and available in your path, you can add the following lines to your nf file (present in /usr/local/slimserver, or wherever you installed the server): See bug 9463, as well as the associated forum post for more information. When the FAAD process(es) hang, this may lead to stuttering, no sound and/or to an less or unresponsive system. Note: There is a known bug in FAAD that may cause the FAAD proccess to hang when AAC files are skipped. See Project Bug Entry for a patch-proposal and this slimdevices forum thread for slimserver-specific information. Note: As of there is a bug in the faad2-package which may produce noise while decoding AAC files. See AppleLosslessUnix for information on installation and configuration. Note: mplayer can decode AAC formatted files and Apple Lossless files. If this does not work in libfaad/config.h uncomment #DEFINE FIXED_POINT You can create one by configuring and compiling FAAD with –without-fp –npf. Often a floating point version is installed.
#AAC FILE PLAYER PRO#
Note: On ARM devices such as Buffalo Linkstation Pro you have to install a fixed point version of FAAD.
These may come pre-packaged and configured for your particular flavour of Linux (they are in the standard Portage tree for Gentoo Linux, for example), or else they can be compiled from source from the individual projects' websites. The first step is to make sure that you have both FAAD2 and LAME installed - neither of these is packaged with SqueezeCenter out-of-the-box. SlimServer recognises files with the following extensions as AAC files: On Windows this can be done by installing QuickTime on the computer running SlimServer, but on Linux slightly more work is required.
#AAC FILE PLAYER SOFTWARE#
SlimServer requires additional software before the AAC format can be played. Note that these instructions only allow playing of unprotected AAC files - DRM-protected files (such as those bought from the iTunes shop) cannot be played in this way./ Note: You can't use FFWD and RWD files that are converted on the fly. Go to the Player Settings > Audio page and check under BitRateLimiting for this text "The LAME encoder appears to be installed correctly on your system." (You can't test this until you have a player installed.).Place lame.exe (not the other files) in the c:\Program Files\Squeezebox\server\Bin\MS.Win32 folder.This is required to decode the AAC format. Make sure QuickTime is installed on the machine running your Squeezebox Server.To convert AAC files to MP3 on the fly so that they stream in a more usable compressed format, follow these steps: SlimServer will play M4A files but it streams them in an uncompressed format - which is fine on a local wired network but will use too much bandwidth over wireless and the internet. SlimServer cannot play DRM protected M4P files. M4A files are created by a user on iTunes from a CD M4P files are bought from the iTunes Music Store. Note: AAC files come in two forms: M4A and DRM protected M4P.
