Yes, that makes sense. The QNAP will not be powerful enough to transcode, so bitrate limiting doesn't work. The raw FLAC files can just be played so it works there, too.
I would give the PlayWMA plugin a try. DEcoding WMA will require less power than ENcoding mp3 (which is what the server does for bitrate limiting) so it might in fact work. I briefly looked at 8player and let's say I would not be surprised if they just used ffmpeg without caring about the license violation. I don't know that, yet, so please don't assume I'm accusing somebody, they might just as well have bought a license from Microsoft or licensed the patents and implemented their own codec.... The other alternative could be that your DLNA server is able to transcode the WMA. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and *New: Logitech UE Smart Radio* as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85502 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
