hi together,
I have a soundbridge M1001 which gets the audios from my unslung NSLU2 (V2.3R63-uNSLUng-6.8-beta) with the firefly server (nightlies svn-1549).

The playback of mp3, ogg and flacs is no problem. But I can not playback of musepack (mpc) audios.
What I have to do to play also mpc at my soundbridge?

Any ideas

You’ll have to edit the mt-daapd-ssc.sh to transcode mpc files. They will come through with a codectype of “unkn” (or “mpc” if you compile it with the –enable-musepack flag).

Beyond that, I’m not sure. I don’t even know what program decodes musepack. What you’d have to do generally is find the command line that you use to decode musepack to a .wav file to stdout, then edit the mt-daapd-ssc.sh script to run that command when it gets a musepack file. Check the file out, it should be very easy to read and understand. Just add another section just like the existing ones for flac and ogg, but for musepack instead.
