ReplayGain

[simoncn]

I have discovered that it is possible to apply replay gain during transcoding without any change to MinimServer or MinimStreamer. You need to do the following:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1) Convert your WAV files to FLAC with replay gain tags added but without changing the audio data (non-destructive)

2) Install MinimStreamer if you don't have this already

3) In the stream.transcode property, add:

flac:wav;

exactly as shown, including the semicolon

4) In the stream.options property, add: convOut=-af volume=replaygain=track
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

This will play your files with the calculated track reply gain applied.

If you want to increase the bit depth from 16 to 24 before applying replay gain, do the following instead of steps 3 and 4:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
3a) In the stream.transcode property, add:

flac:wav24;

exactly as shown

4a) In the stream.options property, add: convOut=-af volume=replaygain=track
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Edit: removed -f s24le setting from convOut because the wav24 setting does the same thing.
