some flac files not working with Minimserver

[Roendi]

Hi Simon

I have allways some minor problems with some Files. Now I delete the Files on the NAS and copy all again. But nothing helps. On 2 Albums only the first track is not playable over the Minimserver. With the EMBY DLNA Server same files works fine, How I can trace and correct the Problem.

Thanks for your support.

Firstly, are there any messages in the MinimServer log about the problem FLAC files after performing a rescan (access via MinimWatch > Show log)?

If not, the next step would be to verify the files by following this guide.

Are you playing these files from a .m3u playlist or directly from the album contents displayed in your control point?

What UPnP control point app and what renderer device are you using to play the file?

What exactly happens when you try to play the file?

[Roendi]

No I play this files directly from the album contents displayed in your control point?

EMBY with out Problem. Lokal I can Play this Files with Foobbar2000

But from the Minimserver it skip this Files and play next

Thanks for this information. I would like to see this file to check whether I get the same problem. Can you post a download link? Alternatively, I can send you instructions for uploading the file to my FTP file server.

Also, please post your transcoding settings from the stream.transcode property.

Hi Simon

The Transcode Settings are: flac:Wav24

You have me an Mail Adress. So I can send you the file

[simoncn]

The file will almost certainly be too large to send by email. I will send you a PM with instructions for uploading it to my FTP server.

[Roendi]

OK I have Upload the File.

For this you can use Swisstransfer.com You can send Files 50 GB for 30 Days. Very nice Service

Thanks for uploading the file. It is playing for me from MinimServer with flac:wav24 transcoding. There are no errors in the MinimServer log.

When you get the MinimServer error message, are you playing the file with the Emby app or with some other control point app? If you are playing it with the Emby app, what device are you using to run the Emby app?

Hi Simon
