Stream FLAC to PS3 with LMS?

[D629497]

Thanks, I've tried that. Just digging around it seems that the DNLA/UPnP plugin doesn't do any transcoding.

Can I stream from MPD?

MPD are players, so in the world of DLNA they are renderers...

What you'd need is a DLNA server, you can install minimserver from the Snakeoil menu, and set that as your server player. Then your PS3 should be able to pick it up fine.

Another option I guess is to convert some FLACs to WAV, and see if LMS can work properly with that. The downside of this is you've lost the checksum protection provided by the FLAC container.


I can see minimserver on PS3 but it stll doesn't play FLAC.  I guess I need to understand how to set up transcoding with minimserver.Strangely when I try a standard CD quality WAV file it doesn't play either, says unsupported.

When I get some time I'll look at minimserver and understand it better.  

As always I appreciate your help and advice.  Thanks

I may be being a bit thick here?  How does (can it) minimserver play through USB to the DAC?
