when transcoding from FLAC to MP3 the bitrate do not change, but it LOOKS as if is an MP3 file, atleast in the webplayer, and my Isub plyas the file.

I get the following error in the log.

Code: Select all

DEBUG InputStreamReaderThread - (/var/subsonic/transcode/lame) fatal error: can't update LAME-tag frame!


I see the same error in the log too. Watching.

One step transcoding SS 4.1 ("-ar" is a sample rate, "-ab" is a bit rate, "-ac" is a channels (2 for stereo) and "-map_meta_data" transfer all tags from FLAC to MP3):

ffmpeg -i %s -f mp3 -ar 44100 -ab %bk -ac 2 -map_meta_data 0:0 -


SS 4.2 don't parse correctly %b options and workaround is to use fixed bitrate (change "192k" by your choice):

ffmpeg -i %s -f mp3 -ar 44100 -ab 192k -ac 2 -map_meta_data 0:0 -
