Sony bdp s370 not showing tags when transcoded

I'm using serviio with ubuntu and mostly everything works as expected however one thing that is bugging me is that when i transcode a flac or an mp4 to mp3 or lpcm the sony player does not show the files tags i.e album, artist, title. (its as if the tags are dropped when transcoded)

if i play an mp3 file it displays the tags as expected.

Can anyone confirm if this is a serviio limitation or bug or if its a limitation of the sony bdps370

a little more info
i get the same result with the default apt get ffmpeg package and with my current compiled ffmpeg as per the wiki guide.

I noticed yours suffered the standard fate of most slightly off-centre-track questions:

Tags are of great interest to me too; How FLAC/Ogg/Mp3/ID3/Wave/... tags are treated by Serviio WILL determine my next step; I could either keep going with Serviio if Serviio can and will deliver all/most/selected embedded tags in FLAC and most other formats, in addition to any DLNA-specific tag like info structures, or else I could set media delivery up using file system sharing and an XBMC-like media management system.

I think it's because the BDP device profile is transcoding all non-natively supported audio to LPCM. This is good news for quality, bad news for tagging. Have you tried editing the profile to transcode to 320Kbps mp3 instead? That ought to retain the tags.
