Is there a reason why there is no rule in main convert.conf like:
That would allow remote streams to be transcoded?
I hit that issue with Shairtunes2/Group, using bitrate limitation. I realized that when setting a limit to say 128kbits, on a large group, and sending from Shairport, the limitation was ignored if the source was flac (was using flc-flc empty rule) or streaming was failing if the source was wav (no wav-wav rule).
I had a few other mistakes corrected in Shairtunes2, but such rule was obviously needed.
Code:
flc mp3 * *
# IB:{BITRATE=--abr %B}D:{RESAMPLE=--resample %D}
[flac] -dcs - | [lame] --silent -q $QUALITY$ $RESAMPLE$ $BITRATE$ - -
wav mp3 * *
# IB:{BITRATE=--abr %B}D:{RESAMPLE=--resample %D}
[lame] --silent -q $QUALITY$ $RESAMPLE$ $BITRATE$ - -I hit that issue with Shairtunes2/Group, using bitrate limitation.
