Hello i have a problem with ices2, the parameter into <encode> does not work. Doesn't matter if i set the MANAGED to 0 or 1. The bitrate keeps the same. Any idea?


<encode>
<quality>0</quality>
<nominal-bitrate>65536</nominal-bitrate>
<maximum-bitrate>131072</maximum-bitrate>
<minimum-bitrate>-1</minimum-bitrate>
<managed>0</managed>
<samplerate>22050</samplerate>
<channels>1</channels>
</encode>

It will be difficult to make a VBR codec keep the same bitrate, so it depends on what you are checking with. Can you explain why you specify both quality and nominal-bitrate?

BTW, 44.1khz/stereo is easily possible with quality 0 (~64kbps)

For example, i have a ogg file encoded at quality 3 for example. But i would like to play it at 0 or -1 quality.


So i should set managed to 1 right? Like this:


<encode>
<quality>0</quality>
<managed>1</managed>
<samplerate>44100</samplerate>
<channels>1</channels>
</encode>


But doesn not working, the ices keep playing my ogg file with original quality.

I want to play my files in lower quality.

Hope you understand what im trying to say,

you don't need <managed> for this, that is just to hint at the allocation of bits in the encoder. Obviously quality X mono will be a lesser bitrate than stereo would be, but if the bitrate is the same as the original file then if sounds like the encode section is commented out.
