Sony LX9 FLAC

I'm posting a new topic for LX x series (As i heard there's some differences between NX LX xxx 2010 series but i'm a litle lost on this) anyway if the post is not in the appropriate place i apologize. So ad meritum, i tested flac support on LX 9 device (i do not listen to music via a tv set but...) and encountered i strange behaviour when pausing flacs then resuming. This problem is not occuring everytime a file is resumed but sometimes after resuming there's no music but radio static. For now i've tested flac files only on the linux version but i don't think that's a OS or ffmpeg on ubuntu problem because this issue is not present on the BDP-570 player. I do not know if anyone encoutered the same problem on the same or other Sony Tv set. Anyway i will make some tests on serviio 0.5.2 windows version if i find some free time this weekend.

To resume, flac pause and resume is ok on your BDP-570 but not on your Sony LX9, right?
I will check that on my BDP-S373 and EX500 this week. Could you provide "ffmpeg -i" result of your flac file?

Yes that's right. I'll post results from flac files tomorrow.

Confirm:

Pause and resume a FLAC file on KDL-46EX501 failed.
Pause and resume a FLAC file on BDP-S373 is OK.

  Code:
[flac @ 015fd080] max_analyze_duration reached
Input #0, flac, from 'P:\Video\Samples\Audio\Hongroise.flac':
  Duration: 00:00:30.00, bitrate: 600 kb/s
    Stream #0.0: Audio: flac, 44100 Hz, 2 channels, s16

Try to setup transcode of FLAC into mp3 for the TV.

Yes its better, FLAC transcoded to mp3 could be pause then resume without error.
I'll update the Sony Bravia profile

Also, is it only FLAC causing the problems or do the other audio formats need to be transcoded to mp3 as well?
