Why is Jukebox Mode running the transcoder for MP3s

[jonathanroz]

So I havent been able to figure out why Jukebox mode on my server is running ffmpeg to play MP3 files. Looking through the FFMPEG documentation I can't figure out what it is doing.

I dont see the "[-v] [0] [-f] [au] [-]" options in the FFMPEG documentation. I understand the initial command line paramaters that define the input file so that part makes sense.

So I am playing a file that is already in MP3 format. I am playing in jukebox mode going out my USB Sound device. Everything works fine and the songs play, I just don't understand why ffmpeg is being run.

Code: Select all

I am certainly no expert with regard to ffmpeg but I presume it converting the mp3 to pcm for the sound device.
It then send the raw data to java directaudiodevice which then sends it to your usb sound card where its DAC then takes over.
Not doubt someone will step in a tell me I am talking out of my a.... again
