Author Topic: MC 21 for MaC - DSP studio convolution over DLNA (JR used as server only)  (Read 2573 times)

Hello,

My audio configuration is notably as follows : JRiver installed on a Mac Mini connected with an ethernet cable to my External network streamer (3Dlab Nano transport) connected with AES/EBU to my Audioresearch DAC8.

I set JRiver as a media server to stream audio files to my External network streamer.

I have generated FIR filters with Accurate.

When I tried to use these filters through the DSP studio module in the options- add or configure DLNA servers - advanced-DSP studio, the convolution filter does not work. I received always the following message : "Playback stopped or current playback doesn't support processing".

It appears that none of the Studio DSP settings are operating when using JRiver as a server (DLNA).

Is it due to a current limitation of the software or have I missed something in the settings ? (May it be caused by my external network streamer (3Dlab)?

In this respect, I red on internet that JRiver MC for Mac can not operate the DSP studio Over DLNA... I don't know if it a false or truth comment....

In the case where my issue would be due to a current limit of JRiver MC21 for MAC, Would it be possible in the future for a new release to benefit from the implementation of the DSP studio (convolution) over DLNA ?

Many thanks in advance for your feedback and comments.

Kind regards,

Frederic

I think it works for Mac builds when using JRiver as renderers, on both client and server,  but  there might indeed be limitations on streaming to external renderers (check with AndrewFG - he has a program you can run in his sig).

There are lot of posts on this. Here's when it just got implemented https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=92745.0 and people were referring to using convolution filters

or you might try searching google using jriver dsp over dlna site:yabb.jriver.com rather than the forum search

Not sure about any Mac specific limitations though per se, so BUMP to the more knowledgeable among us. :)

I don't know about the Mac version, but the Windows version of MC has two limitations concerning the use of DSP when serving to DLNA renderers..

1. You cannot use DSP when the audio output format is set to Original. (Kind of obvious). So you must select the output format as either L16, (PCM no header) or WAV (PCM with header).

2. You can only apply DSP effects which do not change the bit depth, sample rate, or number of channels.

So long as you comply with the above, it should work just fine.
