    Hi! I would love to switch all audio from 44,100 to 48,000. I made all the config changes and was hoping that the build-in streaming encoders would also switch to 48khz, but they remain at 44.1khz. I know you can add custom stream encoders and use command lines to do so, but I don’t know how to do that in breakawayOne’s encoder module. I did some googling but couldn’t find a way to do it.. I currently want a 128kb/s MP3 stream and a 64 kb/s HE-AAC stream. Is there some documentation on how to build the command line entries? Thanks.

    Hi. I never figured out how to get HE-AAC to work in the custom encoder, but I got LAME working. Here’s mine:

    encoder:lame.exe -r -s %samplerate% -b %bitrate% -x – –
    Mime Type:audio/mpeg
    Bit Rate: 320
    Sample Rate: 48000

    When I use that command-line (it’s there by default), it fails to enable. It’d be great if the program was setup to automatically shift the codecs to the appropriate sample rates… This obviously isn’t a huge issue as moving form 44.1 to 48 is not a major game changer. But a lot of audio in radio is moving to 48k/24-bit.

    I added the Lame.exe to the breakawayone folder and now the custom encoder enables but all i hear is white. noise… so odd

    I removed the -x switch in the command line and it worked! Found this bit:

    -x

    swap bytes in the input file (and output file when using –decode).
    For sorting out little endian/big endian type problems. If your encodings
    sound like static, try this first.

    Ah, found another issue with custom encoders… It doesn’t push out or pick up metadata. Hmmm

    Here’s an example from a video Leif recently uploaded. Perhaps this will aid somebody.

    ENCODER: enc_aacplus.exe – – –silent –he –br $bitrate%000 –rawpcm %samplerate% 2 16

    MIME TYPE: audio/aacp

    BIT RATE: 64

    note: That’s two single dashes before –silent. And that’s a double dash next to –s-ilent, –he, –br, and –rawpcm… the forum software reduces them to single dashes.

    To help explain the rather unusual syntax of the command line, I have snipped an image from the video, so that you can see it graphically.

    Is this to enable song title meta data? or what are we showing here?

    Oh, sorry. I haven’t tried it myself, but you were initially looking for 48khz 64kbps HE-AAC streaming using the custom settings. I don’t know if this enables Metadata.

    All good, I appreciate it! It doesn’t do Metadata. I was fiddling with it, though. And it worked otherwise. Thanks!
