This is the approach I am hoping to take for adding multiple instance support at some stage. This will require some internal restructurng of MinimServer, so it isn't a simple task.

Quote:Another thing to mention: the synology media server can be configured with different profiles for each client: The control point can be configured to get high resolution cover art delivered. And the renderer can be configured e.g. as generic renderer that only does understand mp3 or wav, even if it normally supports flac and ogg. For these types the server can transcode to wav automatically. So maybe there is a way for the server to decide which formats to deliver. I think it is bounded to the ip address.

Thanks for the pointer. The settings on the transcoding page appear to apply to all renderers. There is another page that allows you to choose different profiles for different devices, but I couldn't see how to edit or create one of these profiles.
