Hello Eugene,
First of all thank you for your hard work with WMS. I have tried numerous other DLNA servers but yours works the best with my Sony.
I have a large collection of Music in lossless FLAC format. My Sony says it supports DLNA formats of MPEG2, LPCM, MP3 and JPEG. I have no problem playing mp3 but have had no luck with transcoding FLAC to LPCM or MP3.
I would prefer to transcode to LPCM as it is lossless.
I've tried many variations in Transcoding>Music but nothing seems to work. All I ever get is "File Can Not Be Played" when trying to transcode/play from the Sony.
Transcoding FLAC files for play on Sony KDL-52XRB9
Re: Transcoding FLAC files for play on Sony KDL-52XRB9
Hello,
After selecting the configuration of the device "Sony TV NTSC (DLNA, 16:9, 720x406)" program is configured for playing FLAC.
Settings-Transcoder-Music-Transcoding file params: Extension: s16be; MIME-type: audio/L16
When scanning to FLAC connects transcoding profile "Music - FLAC - LPCM"
Test transcoding can be on your right mouse button "Test transcoding".
The column "Transcoding profile" can be shown from the columns setup on right click mouse - Customizing.
If DTS placed in FLAC, then for such FLAC to select profile transcoding Music (FLAC-DTS) on right click mouse.
