bit perfect and digital output
Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2011 7:41 am
Congratulations,
guayadeque has greatly improved and has become my favourite audioplayer (and i tested a few).
To me it represents a well balanced set of the best features in a nice gui.
Great work!
Unfortunately there is one mayor issue. I cant play my dts encoded waw files.
This is obviously an issue with gstreamer, still afaik not supporting digital output via spdif.
Furthermore the output is not bit perfect, a imo requierement for an audiophile player.
Would you consider to support additionally another sound architecture?
This could be mplayer or Xine or anything that supports spdif passthrough.
From experience i know, that the use of the softvolume option in mplayer excludes the spdif passthrough.
When i manage to login into ideatorrent i will elaborate there.
This leads to the next issue, multi genre tags. Yes again
The possibilty to set search filters "contains genre" helps a lot. But since guayadeque is not my only player (see above), i would like to use the label system (which is great btw) for this.
Now here are two more requests:
1. Make the Label system hierarchical (add Label folders)
2. Provide an automated Transferskript (leave the first genre and transfer any extra genre to an Label)
With the Folder structure we could then have something like:
- electronica
|- minimal
|- big beat
|- trip hop
etc.
Finaly and this is the least important one, i would like to append a song to the playlist from a filemanager.
I tried the mpris interface, but failed.
