Serviio

I'm new to Serviio and this community, so hopefully this is the correct request and location.

I just purchased a Yamaha RX A1030, and even though I have Serviio installed and running, when connected to the home network, I only see my MP3's, not the FLAC files. I assume this is because the Yamaha is actually being served the files from Media Player 12 which does not support FLAC rather than Serviio as I intended.

I'm using the Generic profile, and Serviio can see the Yamaha but not the other way around. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to set up a specific profile or is there something else going on?

Thanks in advance.

Does your amp play flac?

Yes it does. From the owners manual...

Playing back music stored on media servers (PCs/NAS)
The unit supports FLAC files (1- or 2-channel audio only).
The unit is compatible with sampling rate of up to 192 kHz for FLAC files.
To play back FLAC files, you need to install server software that supports sharing of FLAC files via DLNA on your PC or use a NAS that supports FLAC files.

I'm convinced the problem is that Serviio is not interfacing with the Yamaha receiver. Serviio can see the Yamaha, but not vice versa.

Thoughts on how to solve this?

I created the following profile which seemed to solved it...

<Profile id="rx-a1030" name="Yamaha RX-A1030" extendsProfileId="1">

<UPnPSearch>

Question though...using this profile and transcoding method, am I getting lossless audio to my receiver?

That's saying take those formats and convert to pcm. Flac to pcm, I presume it's not doing much but worth reading up on . It won't be decompressing just decompressing imo in the same way you amp would internally. If you remove the flac line above does you amp still see them? I guess you need to decide which has the best quality decoder but given it comes from flac prob nothing in it.
