use of cue-sheets

[schischi222]

Hi,
as I know, there are two kind of possibilities to use cue-sheets together with *.flac audio files.
1.) audiofile.flac contains the (packed) audio data and it is existing an additional audiofile.cue file, which describes track layout.
2.) track layout is somehow coded within the audiofile.flac file (I 'm able to do this by using flac.exe coding option --cuesheet=audio.cue).

What kind does Twonky support?
I tried both of them, but always I can only "see" file audiofile. I'm awaiting to see tracks within audiofile, because how else streaming client could skip to next track?

Thanks for your support to get cue-sheets working on twonky.

As far as I am aware Twonky does not support quesheets. In the DLNA/UPNP world each track is encoded as a seperate file.

To do what you want you will have to split your audio file up into individual files for each track. I am sure if you do a Google search you will find some software that does this.

Hi,

There are a bunch of posts, could assume, this is working:

http://www.twonkyforum.com/viewtopic.ph ... cue#p18728

It should be not too hard to implement, just reading cue sheet content, when building Twonky database and start in the middle of wav/flac file, when streaming.

Finding and/or using software for splitting is not my problem.

Any other expiereinces?
Thanks.

Media files consist of more than just a linear stream of bits encoding the audio/video. There are also special structures/chunks which must be present in the stream to tell the media player how to decode and play the file.

If Twonky just started streaming a file from some arbitrary point in a media file, the media player would not know what to do with the stream.
