If the renderer is capable of playing more than one of the formats offered by the server, it should choose the first in the list.

For MinimStreamer to support this, the current stream.transcode property syntax would need to be extended to allow a single source type to have multiple target types. This is on my to-do list for a future version of MinimStreamer.

The next version of MinimStreamer will support multiple streams (original and/or transcoded). As previously explained, the control point decides which of the streams to play based on the capabilities advertised by the renderer. When this feature is available, I will be interested to get feedback on how well it works with various renderers and control points.
