Because transcoding makes it hard for the server to know where exactly it is in the bitstream.... it doesn't have a fullblown API to talk to flac's decoder to say, "okay, decode the next 20930 samples", nor is it possible to tell the flac decoder "hey, please go back 20930 samples" or get samples of the samples to do the fast-forward with sound. So FLAC -> FLAC works with FF/REW. So does WAV -> WAV. You can run the flac decoder yourself to create a WAV file on your disc, and then you can seek -that- file. You just can't seek transcoded material because that is FAR more complex and flac.exe does not allow it, nor does SBS have a way to tell it how/where to seek while decoding. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71321 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
