SC_Trans without Transcoding

Drazic · 23rd March 2009, 11:53

I am currently runnign SC_Trans for Windows to feed a playlist to SC_Serv. I noticed that sc_trans is re-encoding all my mp3's (as that is what it was primarily made for ofcourse).

My question: Is it possible to disable the transcoding function of sc_trans, so I can stream all mp3's in their original formats, and do use less cpu? Or is their another free tool that can stream the playlist for me?

If you are running windows, you can use winamp to stream your music to your server.

It's on a dedicated Windows 2003 server, and sc_serv and sc_trans are running as services. Winamp is not suitable for that.

Then you have to use sc_trans. It doesn`t need much ressourcen on your system.

Transcoding all the mp3's I stream is CPU intensive, so I would rather turn this option off. But as I understand you well: that's impossible?

You can`t turn it off.
