![]() And even devices noted as meeting all the DLNA certifications may in fact not meet all those things (and such certification does NOT require gapless playback by the way). It works, but often is a clunky implementation. Also, do yourself a favor and use something other than your smart TV for audio streaming. that have figured out workarounds to get gapless with DLNA. You'll also see some references to some of the servers/players, etc. Google "dlna and gapless" and you'll see lots of discussion on this issue. ![]() SONOS handles gapless streaming perfectly as well. ![]() And the server software, Logitech Media Server (LMS) works with all these. Squeezeboxes are unfortunately discontinued, but there is a thriving DIY, 3rd party squeezebox community of users that have figured out ways to turn microcomputers such as Rasberry Pi into Squeezebox devices. Others use SONOS (I have one of those too, just to play with). They use other approaches, and handle gapless, provide better browsing experiences, handle ReplayGain tags, etc. In addition to the DNLA/UpNp workarounds that some vendors use, there are much better music streaming eco systems that do not use DLNA. The fact that you're ripping with dbpa means you are NOT one of these folks for which this stuff is "good enough". DLNA is truly "lowest common denominator" approach that for most users is "good enough" (these are the same users that crappy mp3 files, crappy ear buds, and not good implementation of using metadata tagging is "good enough"). There are lots of other problems with DLNA too regarding music library management, etc. There are some workarounds that some servers, players, clients can use that try to fix these things in a DNLA context (even Illustrate has software callled ASSET that trys to solve some problems with DLNA). I believe it may not use ReplayGain tags properly (not sure on this). And that is that DNLA (the standard, and what servio and your TV are using) is, in a word, almost complete crap. And all lossless files are ripped gapless by default by any ripper that is not broken! You have discovered the dirty "secret" of streaming audio standards. do all rippers add track gaps to continuous music recordings ?įirst, no, dbpa and foobar and not connected in some way that allows foobar to solve "a problem" created by dbpa. ![]() Or, is it that foobar2000 has an association with dbpoweramp and is resolving a problem created by dbpoweramp in the first place. Obviously the designers of foobar2000 have overcome the problem. I find it difficult to believe that media player (and server) developers would be unaware of this issue, or unable to resolve it. I am very curious as to how and why this happens. You seem to suggest that the gaps are introduced by the players (or server in this case). However, I am unable to select a track as a starting point within the show and to listen to the remaining tracks without the blips, for that I have to use the continuous recording and scan back and forth to find my chosen starting point. The only way I have been able to resolve this is to make two recordings one by track and the other continuous ("rip as one"), that way I have similar options available to me as on the original disc. When I listen to audio recordings of live shows through this network I get the same silent blip between each track. I use "Servio" to turn my PC into a server which is then able to stream audio, video and pics via Powerlink adaptors to my Sony, Smart TV in another part of the house. I wonder if you might be able to help me further: I have downloaded and installed foobar2000 and it certainly solves the problem on my PC.
