Hi, Could someone help me with a configuration issue that does not seem to have been raised in the mailing list archives (and please excuse me if it has been so - I'm a newby here - and tell me where I can find it) ?
I'm using Rygel as a Raspberry Pi 3 Upnp renderer, the BubbleUpnp Android app as controller, and either my external hard drive or Qobuz as a server. My output soundcard is equivalent to a Hifiberry card, and it is well recognized. This configuration works fine with mp3 files - but not with FLAC files. Depending on whether I use Playbin or VLC as the media player to which Rygel transmits audio files, the issue is not exactly the same : 1) With Rygel+Playbin, no file may be heard, whether MP3 or FLAC. The files seem to play (I can see the time line move as time goes by) but there is no sound. I guess this means that Playbin should be so configured as to recognize my HifiBerry soundcard. Are there any options to do that ? All I see are options regarding Gstlaunch in rygel.conf but I understand this configures a server, not a renderer (and I tried anyway to add my soundcard and flac mime-types, according to various tutorials, but no luck) 2) If I use VLC instead of playbin (by enabling MPRIS and disabling Playbin in /home/pi/.config/rygel.conf, and then launching VLC before Rygel), VLC reads perfectly the MP3 files but not the FLAC ones (701 code error : illegal mime-type). I asked the developers of the BubbleUpnp app what should be done. They answered that "The fix for FLAC for this Rygel/VLC renderer is just for developers to add the FLAC mime-type to the list. It's a 10s job.". I can play FLAC files from another computer to Rygel+VLC using Foobar2000 : as Foobar2000 changes my FLACs into WAV (or PCM?) before sending them to the Rpi. But BubbleUpnp does not this conversion. I believed that it should be up to VLC to include this mime-type list : as far as I understand, Rygel only sends the files to VLC without trying to decode them, and thus without needing to validate any mime-type in this configuration. But, as VLC is perfectly able to read FLAC (I often use it directly with my Raspberry Pi, without using Upnp : no problem), I don't understand which part (Rygel or VLC) shoud be reconfigured, and how... Would anyone have a suggestion ? Thank you very much, Nicorigo, from Paris, France.
