Lame support has been added.

To use:

Make sure to adjust the path of the lame executable file. The default configuration is '/usr/local/bin/lame'. You can adjust this path in the script.

Enter Settings->File handling and mark the 'Enable LAME support'. Then you'll have to edit each user that should have LAME access. Each user also have to open his or hers 'Options' window and choose a bitrate.

this is AWSOME!
works as advertized

In case someone have a question what is "LAME", visit their web site:
http://lame.sourceforge.net
or download it from here

(hope I'm alowed to post like this :roll:

)

One problem though:
Seek doesnt work in the player when LAME is enabled.

Three requests though:
1) convert stereo to mono (optional, for selected bitrates)
2) make static bitrate for everyone and second option to alow users change it or not.
3) dont use LAME if the original file bitrate is lower then set LAME settings (why whould u convert 32kbps into 320kbps? - the quality wont change...)

Seeking: LAME doesen't seem to support skipping in files. (Can't specify offset.), so seeking is not possible. (I've read the man page, but I may have missed something.)

1) Yes. I agree.
2) I'm not sure about this. Reencoding is a extremely CPU intensive task.
3) I'll add a new option (user)

I keep getting an "Reached end of file" error in Windows Media Player 10 when trying to use this. Here's my setup:

Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6.0
PHP4 and MySQL 4
kPlaylist is in a sub-directory (kPlaylist) under the web root
Lame is in a sub-directory (lame) of kPlaylist
All user info is correct
Works without lame enabled

I've given the internet guest account for IIS the execute permisions on the lame directory.

Any ideas?

This works for me:

c:/lame/lame.exe --silent --nores --mp3input -h -m s -b %bitrate% "%file%" -

damn it - is it possible that Lame does not work under Win 2003 Server and the FoxServ Apache/PHP/MySQL Package?

Did you test lame? As in, running c:\lame\lame.exe ?

Lame works fine, but not with kplaylist ;(
I tested it several times and I can't find the failer ;(

Now, I am using 1.4 365:
Under Settings I added to LAME command this value:
c:/lame/lame --silent --nores --mp3input -h -m s -b %bitrate% "%file%" -
Is "/" correct, or should I write "\" ?

And I checked: Enable LAME support?

Then I created a new user with Lame Support.
Enable LAME support? with 64kbits.

Now, when I click on a mp3 file to stream - I get this file in WinAmp: kp023582[1].m3u or other strange file names.

When I click on: Play Control - Album
I get: [error syncing to mpeg] http://192.168.0.4/mp3/index.php?stream ... &file=.mp3

When I turn off the Lame Support under Settings - everything works fine.
Something is really strange????
I have LAME 3.96.1

Apache WebServer 1.3.26
PHP Script Language 4.2.3
MySQL Database 3.23.52

Did you try with c:/lame/lame.exe (with .exe) ?

yes - was a copy&paste error

c:/lame/lame.exe --silent --nores --mp3input -h -m s -b %bitrate% "%file%" -

Which program do you use to listen mp3 files?

I noticed you wrote you are running PHP 4.2.3? Really, you should try a newer version of PHP. The latest, as of speaking. is 4.3.8. (Almost 2 years newer.)

aageb wrote:3) I'll add a new option (user)

until aageb adds this feature to user settings (IMHO its not needed per user setting at all...)
Here is a quick fix:
Find:

Code: Select all: if ($uselame)

replace with:

Code: Select all: if ($uselame && $lamebitrates[db_guinfo('lamerate')] < $f2->id3['bitrate'])

kPlaylist

LAME support implemented in kPlaylist
