Flac with WDTV or Nokia Lumia 920

Hi!

I tried to figure out and search here - maybe I'm too noob

I have a Windows Home Server 2011 (Server 2008) and Serviio 1.1 on it. I tried to play flac files on my Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phone, but only mp3 and WMA lossless are working. That would be a transcoding problem and I don't know where to find possible configuration entries.
Secondly I also tried to play Flac files through my WDTV Live box (wich normally is working nativ with this files) w/o success. I used my Lumia as an remote for this.

Could you please give a beginner here a small hint?

According to my info (http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=dev ... at_support), the WDTV doesn't support FLAC via DLNA natively. So you'd have to add this to your WDTV profile:

  Code:

<Profile id="14" name="WDTV Live" extendsProfileId="1">
        <Detection>
            <UPnPSearch>
                <ModelName>WD TV HD Live</ModelName>
            </UPnPSearch>
        </Detection>
        <ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>org.serviio.upnp.service.contentdirectory.PacketVideoDLNAMessageBuilder</ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>
        <SubtitlesMimeType>text/srt</SubtitlesMimeType>
        <Transcoding>
            <Video targetContainer="mpeg">
                <Matches container="wtv" />
            </Video>
            <Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
                <Matches container="flv" /> <!-- this is used by online content, assuming WDTV cannot play local flv either -->
                <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="vp8" />
                <Matches container="rm" />
            </Video>
            <Audio targetContainer="lpcm">
                <Matches container="ogg" />
                <Matches container="flac" />
            </Audio>
        </Transcoding>
        <OnlineTranscoding>
            <Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
                <Matches container="mp4" />
                <Matches container="asf" /> <!-- for mms:// -->
            </Video>
        </OnlineTranscoding>   
    </Profile>

You can try to use the same profile for playing the files on your Nokia, although I'm not sure it supports LPCM.

Thank you very much for your help!
I'll try this and take a closer look.

I thought that the WD TV Live could play via dlna Flac using a HomeServer and a remote. I also tried AVM Fritz! Repeater with an optical out with the same result. Both only working with mp3 files through dlna.
Directly those items support flac format. I added als the configuration file w/o success.
With the WIldMediaServer (I hate the licence modell) it worked also through dlna. What can I do or better what streaming client should I buy to use flac files in this case?

Frank

This post made me check my new Nokia 920 phone, and I installed an app called MyMediaHub. I will stream from my Windows 7 computers with no issue, but refuses to play anything from my Serviio box, regardless of the video type. I've tried the generic profile, WDTV and PS3 with no success. I then tried the XBox 360 profile and thought I found the fix. It begins loading the video file, then stops. The banner on the phone app says it is opening the file, then suddenly closes it. Hitting play just repeats the process.

Any ideas, anyone?

Something new?

Did you try the last profile?

Yes, for WDTV and Lumia920.
