Thanks again

I don’t see anything obvious, either. Only think I can guess is that the transcoding script isn’t working. You can try reading the file with vlc or something… with vlc, do an “open location” and use:
http://server:port/rsp/stream/2
as the path. See if it plays.
Probably won’t. Next step would be to try and run the command the server is running from the console of the machine itself:
# /usr/bin/mt-daapd-ssc.sh "/mnt/music/AC-DC/Live/01. Thunderstruck.flac" 0 394.706 "flac"
You should get a stream of crap to the console — a wave file.
If not, check to make sure you have the “flac” binary somewhere. That’s what it uses to transcode, so no flac = no transcode.
Also, sometimes the daemon environment is different than the console environment, so it might make sense to edit the mt-daapd-ssc.sh script and put in full paths to the files in the first couple lines… so rather than:
$FLAC=”flac”
change it to
$FLAC=”/usr/bin/flac”
and so on, for hte other files in the header (for those you ar transcoding, anyway). See where that gets you.
