24-Bit Stream Does Not Play about snapdroid HOT 4 CLOSED

Please try v0.17.1.3
The log tag for errors changed from Err to Error in latest Snapclient, and so Snapdroid didn't parse the error messages correctly.
When using 24 bit on my phone, I now get the error message

Controller::onException: Init failed, operation: Engine::CreateAudioPlayer, result: SL_RESULT_CONTENT_UNSUPPORTED(9)

which simply means that the (24 bit) content is not supported by the DAC.

Thank you so much for so quickly following-up on this and releasing a fix. I now have the same error behavior as you describe.

Are there any plans to perhaps implement conversion of the bit depth down to 16 from 24 (or higher) on Android in the future (even if it's just truncation or rounding)? I know this is handled via, eg, ALSA on linux and not by Snapclient itself, but practically speaking I would like to be able to have just one higher bit-depth stream rather than both a 24-bit and 16-bit version.

Thanks again.

Actually, I'm planning to add resampling capabilities into the v0.19 (v0.18 is will be released soon). I've already a prototype using lobsoxr to resample the audio signal to the "native samplerate". Libsoxr can not only resample but can also requantize to 16 bit.

Thanks--looking forward to it. Nice to be using libsoxr also as it seems like it's a quite high quality resampler.
