In case anyone thinks I have unfairly maligned the C-3PO plugin, it turns out that the issue is in LMS, not C-3PO. For reasons no doubt buried in history, LMS does not look for FLAC transcoding rules for specific player MACs, although it does look at other rules by MAC. When C-3PO is installed it makes sure that every file conversion rule is specified of each and every MAC, rather than just generic rules, because it can change the rules for each and every individual MAC.
Unfortunately LMS does not look for a specific FLAC to FLAC transcoding rule for the UPnP player MAC (or any other MAC, just the generic * MAC), even though C-3PO has created one, and so drops down to the FLAC to MP3 rule which does not specify 'transcode' in the name of the rule. Bother. Confused? You will be, after next weeks episode of SOAP. (Sorry, a deliberate mis-quote showing my age....) LMS 7.9.1 on VortexBox Midi box, Xubuntu 17.10, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps.
