HQPlayer & FLAC streaming...


Recommended Posts

BBC3 is starting a pilot to stream lossless FLAC:

@Miska: I understand HQPlayer can play FLAC streams. Would it work in this case? Also, would it be possible to allow to add such stream from the HQPlayer GUI? Currently the method is to add it via a playlist (I have not tried).

 

NUC10i7 + Roon ROCK > dCS Rossini APEX DAC + dCS Rossini Master Clock 

SME 20/3 + SME V + Dynavector XV-1s or ANUK IO Gold > vdH The Grail or Kondo KSL-SFz + ANK L3 Phono 

Audio Note Kondo Ongaku > Avantgarde Duo Mezzo

Signal cables: Kondo Silver, Crystal Cable phono

Power cables: Kondo, Shunyata, van den Hul

HQPlayer is going to need to play FLAC in an MP4 container being streamed by MPEG-DASH, ie, the BBC pilot stream is not a run of the mill FLAC stream.

We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us.

I couldn't get it to work.

LMS on Odroid XU4; HQPlayer on i7-8700; iFi iGalvanic; T+A DAC 8 DSD; Benchmark AHB2; Quad ESL 2805s + two Acoustic Energy subs.

FLAC can be streamed either as bare FLAC stream, or in OGG container which is the typical way. First time I hear anybody has put FLAC into MPEG-4 stream container...

 

But generally it works by either dropping a link on HQPlayer window, or alternatively through hqp-control for example

hqp-control localhost http://cdn.something.com/stream.pls
