With C3PO installed I tried adding a specific flc flc transcode 00:06:78:09:50:ce to custom-convert.conf. This seemed to be ignored. I then changed it to flc flc * 00:06:78:09:50:ce . That worked, even with flc-mp3 disabled. Your transcode table now shows all flac being processed by flac/sox for that MAC.
So this sort of fixes the problem, except that there is now unnecessary LMS processing for all flacs to that MAC, rather than just for the transcoding case. I know very little about much of this stuff, but it would appear that LMS does not search for 'transcode' to specific MACs. The MAC is, in this case, the UPnP bridge (I think masquerading as a squeezelite). Whether that is "a bug" I couldn't say. I got into all this because I was trying to test new features in the UPnP Bridge, where that bridge can also transcode, with some benefits such as cross-fade and a form of gapless play on those UPnP devices that don't support it. I found flacs being converted to mp3s by LMS when I didn't expect it and this confused me greatly. I now think that, with the help of your comments, that I'm close to closing off that particular issue. I don't really want to use C-3PO for these UPnP devices because the UPnP bridge is also transcoding to get 'gapless' to work, and I don't want to do 2 lots of transcoding if I can avoid it. I did try briefly, but the output from C-3PO mostly confused the UPnP bridge and/or player, so I gave up. I don't plan to try that again unless someone really wants me too!
