Sorry if this has been asked before. Does anyone run the BruteFIR plugin on a ReadyNAS or other NAS device? I currently run Squeezecenter from a ReadyNAS Duo – I know this will be too slow to run BruteFIR, but how about the new ReadyNAS NVX? Will this be fast enough?

Anyone done this sucessfully?

I have not thought this through yet, but some basic functionality in the web interface is maybe even better as more people could benefit. Simply adding the plugin to the player and link a filter + EQ if one uses this should do.

I am thinking about adding some support via the Web-Interface. The problem is that you at least need to enable the plugin for your player and then to select a filter. Enabling the plugin is a bit harder then changing the filter. To change a filter you only need to change a symlink to point to a new filter for your player.

What are the actions you need?

Hi again Klaas. I’ve now started testing the new release of bfDRC on a Vortexbox. This works of course and it is nice to see the samplerate issue solved, but I notice that you do not have plans to support the new graphic SB’s soon due to the new UI.
Would it still be possible to have this work for the Touch by directly editing the config files on the server? Skipping the menu UI on the SB itself? Maybe a config script on the console of the server could handle this for the new SB’s

I see, one would have to supply the samplerate to sox “on the fly” based on the actual input file format. I’d love to see this work, but I have no programming skills so I can’t help much I’m afraid. I’ll just have to wait.. Thanks Klaas

Not really out of the box. This is a real issue that is discussed on the slimdevices forum. Right now it is not possible to support different samplerates out of the box. A solution would be to fix the brutefirwrapper script to convert WAV files that include all sample and bitrate informations. Toby (the creator of the wrapper is locking into it) but so far with no results.

With the SB Touch soon to be released, will BruteFIR be able handle 44, 48, 88 and 96 kHz seamlessly? I’ve noticed the comment in the template conf-files with sox resampling to 44.100 – which worries me a bit.

I published a new release 1.1.1 that work for my setup. Note that you have to edit your filters if you changed the location from “squeezecenter” to “squeezeboxserver”, see the new post for more information.

Strange, did you install the Version for 7.4? I just upgraded to 7.4 yesterday and could configure the plugin without any problems. I cannot confirm that it works correctly, because we moved to a new location and I have to measure the room before using brutefir.

I will try to simulate the issue, maybe you can send me your modified version of the plugin.

I would not wonder if the plugin must be reworked, the version is quite old and the 7.4 version had many changes after the release of BrutefirDRC 1.1 for Squeezeboxcenter 7.4

So, I upgraded from SqueezeCenter 7.3.4 to SqueezeboxServer 7.4. I am no longer able to run BrutefirDrc. I am running on a Centos 5.x box for the record. After editing all my filters for the new directory structure, I was getting some errors.

I patched Settings.pm line 53, changing the ProtectURI() to use the new CSFR version of that method.

I also changed Plugin.pm line 129 – the PluginManager no longer has a pluginRootDirs method, so I used dirsFor instead.

It now starts up fine, but it does not seem to run when I play a track. I verified that it is enabled for FLAC, MP3 and PCM and that I have chosen a filter.

I see no errors on startup I do see this error when trying to do the settings for the BrutefirDrc plugin from the Advanced tab of the web gui config:
