LG BD 390 and flac files

[massimamanno]

Hi,

I have registered the software recently with the Christmas discount, so I'm using version 1.08.
I am very happy with the software, I can stream hundreds of movies with no problems, except a couple of .vob dvd rips which aren't transcoded correctly, but this isn't my problem now.

My problem is with music, and precisely with flac files. As you know, LG BD390 does not support them, so they must be transcoded. I tried many different .flac files, all of which seem to be working (they play correctly in foobar), with the following results:

when transcoded to .wav, none of them is read by the LG
when transcoded to lpcm, some are played, some aren't
when transcoded to .mp3, they all work.

But, my problem is, .mp3 is not lossless as far as I know, not even at 320kbs, so what's the point in keeping lots of lossless (and quite large) .flac files, if for playing them I must transcode them to a lossy format anyway?

So my questions is: is there a way to transcode flac to a lossless format which the LG can read, maybe a different/better transcoder to wav or lpcm?

Thank you

Massimiliano

By default transcoded to lpcm and I have no problems with playing flac-files. Can you provide a sample with problem ?

They are too big to be posted in the forum, I don't know how to split them at the moment and anyway splitting them might change the problem... can I send a sample to the email address from which you sent me the registration number?

Yes, of course, rapidshare.com, support@wildmediaserver.com

Thanks, problem with Duration - wrong value after scanning. At this point you can only edit - right click - Edit information. I'll try to fix

wow thanks... I did not hope in such a fast fix

All files previously not working in lpcm now seem to work, at least on a fast check, thanks again
