BTW I'm testing now v160x0. I'm not sure yet, but this one is #1 candidate.
I am not really after MP3 files, but I am wondering if this download helps in MP3 Internet Radio streaming at all, if you tried it yet?

Sorry, I use TapinRadio for Radio streaming.

I did fall in love with JLP, it is improved a lot since first version, but MQn is still the God.
I returned back to it after almost a week, and nothing but joy.
Gordon, too bad, you gave us something spectacular in first place that you have to be hunting now...sorry.:)
I am confident that you are not far off!

what is this MQn you speak of ?

am going to try getting profile guided optimisation going tomorrow.

have switched off the start squeezelite at server start option and created a batch file with the following in it.

C:\PROGRA~3\SQUEEZ~1\Cache\INSTAL~1\Plugins\LOCALP~1\Bin\SQ12E0~1.EXE -o "SPDIF Out (Amanero Technologies Streaming) [Windows WDM-KS]" -d output=none -a 1 -b 0:2000000

you could use C:\PROGRA~3\SQUEEZ~1\Cache\INSTAL~1\Plugins\LOCALP~1\Bin\SQ12E0~1.EXE -l

yep, a long way to go, maybe it's just too noisy.

Have written a console program some month ago that allows to set priority class and affinity mask to programs you wish to start (Mode: -exe) or to already running processes (Mode: -set).
Additionally it's possible to set priority and/or affinity to all running processes except some excluded ones (Mode: -all).
The latter can be used to lower all processes except JLP, MQn etc. for example.

Tasker.exe has no runtime dependencies and might be useful for those of you who are about to play around with those settings.
Calling tasker.exe without any parameter will prompt usage, short description and some typical examples.

Code: Select all

Usage:
tasker -exe -x process [-r params] [-s show] [-p priority] [-a affinity] [-e]
tasker -set -x process [-p priority] [-a affinity] [-e]
tasker -all [-x excluded] [-p priority] [-a affinity] [-e]

       -exe   Execute <process>.
       -set   Set priority class and/or affinity mask for running <process>.
       -all   Set priority class and/or affinity mask for all running
              processes excecpt processes listed in <excluded>.

       -x process       Process to be executed or set.
       -x excluded      Processes to be excluded (Mode:-all).
                        Use Pipe-Symbol for separation. See example #3.

       -r params        Parameters for <process> to be executed.
       -s show          Display mode for <process>.
                        {hidden|normal|maximized|minimized}
       -p priority      Priority class for <process>.
                        {dontchange|low|belownormal|normal|
                         abovenormal|high|realtime}
       -a affinity      Affinity mask for <process>.
                        E.g. on a machine with four cores use:
                        0001 to bind <process> to Core #0 only.
                        0010 to bind <process> to Core #1 only.
                        1010 to bind <process> to Core #1 and #3.
                        1111 to bind <process> to all Cores.
       -e               Eliminates all console messages.

Examples:
tasker -exe -x "D:\Special.exe" -r "D:\Test.txt" -s normal -p high -a 0010 -e
tasker -set -x "Cool.exe" -p realtime -a 0010
tasker -all -x "Special.exe|Cool.exe" -p low -a 1101 -e
tasker -all -p low -a 1101
Download Link:
http://bit.ly/1e2tS6v

Example 1 (see at the end of code section):
Runs "D:\Special.exe" with parameter "D:\Test.txt", shows it normal, sets priority to "high", sets affinity to core #1. No console messages.

Example 2:
Runs "Cool.exe", sets priority to "realtime", sets affinity to core #1.

Example 3:
Sets priority of all running processes (except "Special.exe and Cool.exe) to "low" and binds them to core #0, core #2 and core #3. No console messages.

Example 4:
Sets priority of all running processes to "low" and binds them to core #0, core #2 and core #3.

Cheers, Christoph

OK, I think I've tried JLP.

I downloaded LMS server.
Installed Local Player by triode.
Put portaudio_x64dllv17 into C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\Cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins\LocalPlayer\Bin
Put squeezelite.exev17 into C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\Cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins\LocalPlayer\Bin

No audio
stopped server.
Restarted server.
Got audio playing

Selected the KS Option from the Local Player output device.
Played some audio.

Have I done everything correctly?

Great, but I don't know how to make such bat by myself. Could you upload example bat, please?
My PC knowledge is almost gone :)

have uploaded start and list devices bat files, start will need your device name, copy it to make ones for other devices
