Roku 4670R Ultra audio
a klunky interface but it allows me to navigate the music library, play songs in track order
and I can follow playing progress on a time bar and move ahead or back in a song using
the Roku remote which is desireable function for me in spite of the klunky style. The killer is
that even though RMP plays .flac files from a USB drive without needing to transpond them
Serviio insists on transponding .flac files when it sends them to the RMP.
Roku's support has been less than adequate. I am asking them to ask someone in engineering
whether the RMP can play .flac files served by a DLNA server and I get nonsense questions
back about have I done this or that irrelevant thing.
Two questions: 1) is it known that RMP cannot play flac when it comes via DLNA to the current
Roku Ultra? 2. How do we test that by telling Serviio not to transcode flac files for my Ultra?
I've tried to study the profiles and the documentation for creating a profile and I find it to be
a difficult haystack of XML variable names in quite a tangle. In spite of almost a 60 year history
of working with computers and programming them it isn't immediately obvious just what the
exact names will fill in the proper variables for the new Roku. On one hand some helpful examples
of starting from a simple file and creating new one with discussion could help. Better yet would
eventually having settings from a setup menu would be a good.
