Not really. In DLNA the server MUST offer LPCM format, and it MAY in addition offer others format like MP3, FLAC or whatever. But if the client selects the LPCM offer, the server must deliver LPCM, so it must transcode from whatever format the source file is in, to LPCM. Many clients do support MP3, so if they ask for MP3 from the server, and the original source file is in MP3 format, then no transcoding is done. -- AndrewFG Regards, AndrewFG http://www.whitebear.ch/mediaserver ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndrewFG's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80632 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
