I’m really pleased with MM’s new DLNA feature but I can’t get FLACs streaming (via transcoding to Wav) to my Sony BDPS570 Blu-Ray.
I have set the transcode option for all incompatible files to be Wav, but they do not show up on the blu-ray.
I also tried setting individual transcodes for my FLACs (and oggs), but that did not work either.
Here’s what does work:
Native mp3s play fine.
If I set the transcode option to make all incompatible files into mp3s, the converted FLACs play fine.
I have previously used Serviio, and that transcodes my FLACS to LPCM and they play fine.
So, MM can serve up the files, and the blu-ray can usually see them, except that it can’t see Wavs created by MM. I’ve tried serving a native Wav via MM and that is not found either.
I know other people are playing FLACs OK, so it’s more likely to be a problem with the blu-ray, but maybe I have set something wrong, which makes the Wavs incompatible with my blu-ray. The fact that it plays the LPCM from Serviio means that it can play Wavs from other sources. (I’m assuming that LPCM and Wav basically mean the same thing, but that might be where I’m going wrong.)
Any suggestions, especially if you are streaming FLACs to a BDP 570 or similar, gratefully received.
