Transcoding Audio on the PS4
Posted: Fri Sep 11, 2015 5:59 pmHi All,
I've been trying to stream audio to my PS4 and I'm hitting a wall. I've used teflontacticss' PS4 profile (from this thread) and with slight tweaking I was able to stream video with no hitches (yet).
BUT, I can only get serviio to stream mp3 and aac files to the PS4. It simply won't transcode my flac, ogg, or other files*. When I navigate to a folder I know has flac files in it, I simply get a message that no files were found. I suspect the problem lies with the PS4. The PS3 could natively play mp3 and aac, but also wma, atrac, and most importantly, LinearPCM (for CD support?). The PS4 can only do mp3 and aac.
Now, the PS3 profile for serviio has a section dealing with audio transcoding that pushes everything non-native to lpcm:
Now, teflontacticss' PS4 profile just lifted that audio section from the PS3 profile, and it doesn't seem to work. I have tried setting the targetContainer="lpcm" part to targetContainer="mp3", but that is also not working. I also tried using targetContainer="mp4", but got errors because "mp4" is not enumerated in Profiles.xsd for that usage.
Does anyone have any idea how to approach this problem differently?

* These transcode and stream just fine on my PS3.
