Case 1) if you have a control point that can serve native flac, then Whitebear sets things up between SBS and the control point so that SBS gets the track direct from the control point i.e. Whitebear plays no role in actually moving the data. Case 2) if you have a control point that can only serve pcm, then Whitebear sets things up so that Whitebear becomes a transcoding proxy between SBS and the control point, whereby Whitebear gets the track from the control point in pcm format, and serves it to SBS as flac. The reason for this double proxy transcoding approach is that pcm is the "must support" format of UPnP, but SBS does not support pcm (at least not for remote streams). WMP can only serve lossless streams in pcm so case 2) is _always_ used when WMP does Play To a SBS player (by Whitebear). And the reason why case 2) won't work anymore with SBS v7.7 is that the developers messed up something concerning x-audiocast-bitrate headers. Grrr! I am developing, with the help of )p(, an update of Whitebear to work around this v7.7 issue. However in the meantime downgrading to 7.6 should see you right, until my update is released. -- AndrewFG Regards, AndrewFG Try out Whitebear. The middleware that joins the two worlds of: 1.
