Want to make your radio stations start immediately. There is a current problem with Serviio transcoding.

Remove or disable the transcoding lines below from the generic profile - and bingo - radio stations play instantly like on other apps.

Solution 1: Disabling all the transcoding lines by adding <!-- and -->
<OnlineTranscoding>
<!--
<Audio targetContainer="mp3" aBitrate="320" forceInheritance="true">
<Matches container="flv"/>
<Matches container="asf"/>
<Matches container="rtp"/>
<Matches container="rtsp"/>
<Matches container="mp3"/>
<Matches container="mp4"/>
<Matches container="mpegts"/>
</Audio>
-->
</OnlineTranscoding>

Solution 2: Disabling only the mp3 transcoding line by adding <!-- and -->
<OnlineTranscoding>
<Audio targetContainer="mp3" aBitrate="320" forceInheritance="true">
<Matches container="flv"/>
<Matches container="asf"/>
<Matches container="rtp"/>
<Matches container="rtsp"/>
<!--
<Matches container="mp3"/>
-->
<Matches container="mp4"/>
<Matches container="mpegts"/>
</Audio>
</OnlineTranscoding>

This option allows playing AAC and other file types if not supported natively.
Need to stop/restart Serviio after these changes.
Note The flac radio stations play OK as they are not part of the transcoding.

Just remember that every Serviio update will replace the profiles.xml file, so your changes will be gone. It's not recommended to alter the generic profile, as that impacts virtually every other profile, but instead one should create a user profiles XML file and create a special profile for your device. I can't say 100% that it would remove the sections you've commented out from applying. Just something to remember.

Dan is absolutely right about the generic profile and I have mine in a user profile which is selected on the status page of Serviio.
However if components do not have a fixed IP these user profiles often get lost by DHCP resetting which happen more often than Serviio updates.

To clarify the commented out sections ARE deactivated.
You will need to restart Serviio to use the changed profile.
Other inherited profiles may also benefit esp. by avoiding transcoding from mp3 to mp3 !

There are 244 stations in the current file.

Thanks.
You will find the non-flac stations load much better if you change the transcoding - see viewtopic.php?f=42&t=24378&start=40#p133036
Option 2 is usually the best.

The flac stations are OK as they are not transcoded.

I just looked again, and I did leave in one that you labeled UK Only (Classical - Classic FM (aacPlus) [UK only?]) and it worked for me. But that's the only one I kept. Now I may need to try some of the others. :D

Sure would be nice if we had song titles and other metadata, but the streams must not contain them.
