Package: mt-daapd Version: 0.9~r1696.dfsg-6lenny2 Severity: wishlist By default mt-daapd transcodes things like .flac and .ogg to .wav. This works well enough, but when a client is device is connected by 802.11b (as my Roku devices are) they simply don't have enough bandwidth to stream the .wavs without frequent rebuffering.
It would be nice if there was a simple way (ideally a single config file option?) of getting the ssc-ffmpeg.so plugin provided with mt-daapd (and which I believe is responsible for transcoding) to output mp3 instead of .wav. I looked into the transcoding instructions at http://wiki.fireflymediaserver.org/Transcoding_HOWTO but they seem monstrously complicated and designed to solve a different problem anyway (converting stuff ffmpeg can't deal with into .wav too). Would have submitted this on the http://forums.fireflymediaserver.org/ Feature Requests page but the whole site seems dead and overrun by spammers. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (200, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mt-daapd depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii avahi-daemon 0.6.23-3lenny1 Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD daemon ii libavahi-client3 0.6.23-3lenny1 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.23-3lenny1 Avahi common library ii libavcodec51 3:20080706-0.3lenny1 library to encode decode multimedi ii libavformat52 3:20080706-0.3lenny1 ffmpeg file format library ii libavutil49 3:20080706-0.3lenny1 avutil shared libraries ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libflac8 1.2.1-1.2 Free Lossless Audio Codec - runtim ii libid3tag0 0.15.1b-10 ID3 tag reading library from the M ii libjs-prototype 1.6.0.2-4 JavaScript Framework for dynamic w ii libjs-scriptaculous 1.8.1-5 JavaScript library for dynamic web ii libogg0 1.1.3-4 Ogg Bitstream Library ii libsqlite3-0 3.5.9-6 SQLite 3 shared library ii libtagc0 1.5-3 TagLib Audio Meta-Data Library (C ii libvorbis0a 1.2.0.dfsg-3.1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libvorbisfile3 1.2.0.dfsg-3.1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime mt-daapd recommends no packages. mt-daapd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
