To do this I just set the File Types in the Settings to support aac to flac transcoding, and make sure that my renderer does not announce its ability to support aac (I can do this with squeeze2upnp settings). I have no need to tinker with custom-convert.conf for this to work. I think you are saying this will still work.

I don't understand what you are referring to here. As I understand it, and I think you said earlier, C-3PO doesn't upsample aac (or many others codecs - that's fine with me). So when you say 'C-3PO could' do you mean 'C-3PO might in the future', or 'C-3PO already can'? If it 'already can', how would I set that up? LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi box, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. LMS plugin UPnP/DLNA Bridge to MF M1 CLiC (to 405/2 amp & ESLs) & Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers. Alternatively Minimserver & Upplay to same & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers. Squeezelite to Meridian USB Explorer DAC to PC speakers/headphones. Wireless Xubuntu 15.10 laptop firefox/upplay or Android 'phone with Squeeze-Commander/BubbleUPnP controls LMS/Minimserver. Also a Touch with EDO, plus spare, unused. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105309 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
