FLAC with LG BD590

I'm new here so forgive me if this is a redundant question. I have an LG BD590 which sees Serviio just fine. I have 5.2 installed and have transcoding activated and the LG profile assogned to the BD590 but FLAC files still come up as unsupported. What am I doing wrong?

you will need to add this to the LG profile in the profiles.xml file as the LG wont play flac natively so it has to be transcoded :)

  Code:
<Audio targetContainer="mp3">
<Matches container="flac" />
<Matches container="ogg" />
</Audio>

Try this, is better...
<Audio targetContainer="lpcm">
<Matches container="flac" />
<Matches container="ogg" />
</Audio>

If LG support LPCM audio, source file will be transcoded lossless.

I must still be doing something wrong. I still get an unsupported message. My profile now looks like this:

<Profile id="8" name="LG BD player" extendsProfileId="1">
<SubtitlesMimeType>text/srt</SubtitlesMimeType>
<Transcoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="mp3">
<Matches container="matroska" aCodec="ac3" />
</Video>
<Audio targetContainer="lpcm">
<Matches container="flac" />
<Matches container="ogg" />
</Audio>
</Transcoding>

Have I screwed up somewhere? I'm going to need to customize profile for a Sony BDP-BX57 as well soon, so I'd like to get it down with the LG for experience sake.

Thanks.

Did you restart both the serviio console and server after you made the changes ??

OK. I did a hard shut down of the PC rather than re-boot and now I'm good. Thanks everybody for your help. I'm learning.

Can you give me more details to do this?
How do I get into the profiles.xml file?
I bought the LG BD590 not realizing it didn't do FLAC.
I have almost no programming skills....I took Fortran4 in 1979. :oops:
So dumb it down please. Great community by the way.
Thanks in advance.
