SOLVED : Soundbridge wont play .flac file from openSUSE

[MrKane]

Hi,

Please excuse me if this has been solved earlier, but I did not find a match in the forum.

I get a “Unable to play” error message on the Pinnacle SB display. I am running the svn-1586 version. This is on openSUSE 10.2

Log from the server does not indicate anything wrong that I can see:

I tried running:

Happy Ending.flac” 0 621.133 “flac” form the command line and it seems to work.

.flac is enabled in the config file so now I am a bit lost…

Anyone seen the same problem?

Make sure you have the flac command-line utility installed. Then, maybe take a look at the ssc script and make sure you have a full path to it in the ssc script.

You may also want to set the full path to wavstreamer (probably /usr/bin/wavstreamer, I’d guess).

If that doesn’t make sense, let me know.

Thanks a lot for a fast answer. And it solved my issue!

the path for wavstreamer had to be set to “/usr/local/bin/wavstreamer”.

It is a bit strange as printenv gives this path:
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/kde3/sbin:/opt/gnome/sbin:/root/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin

and wavstreamer can be reached from the cmdline of the user that mt-daapd is running under.
