Samsung D8000 / FLAC - android controller?

hi I'm running Serviio as a media server and accessing it on my Samsung D8000 TV.

I can use the Samsung D8000 TV remote to access Serviio and play .FLAC files

However I wanted to use my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone as the remote control to select songs etc (instead of the D8000 TV remote). To do this I've tried andriod apps - Skifta and uPNP Player which work for songs except FLAC songs. When I select a FLAC song in either skifta or UPNPlayer and try to output it on my Samsung D8000 TV it just says file format not supported. However these songs play fine when I'm accessing them direct on the TV.

Anyone know an andriod media player controller that will allow me to select the FLAC songs on Serviio and have them play on my D8000 TV?

thanks

You have to give the IP address of your phone the Samsung profile in the console.

Skifta seems to be well accepter around here.
