What happens when you try to seek? Does the Sony device attempt to seek by sending some kind of seek request to MinimServer, or does it consider the track to be unseekable?

If you're not sure which it is, you can use 'Show log' to display the MinimServer log window and set the logging level to Trace to see what's being sent to MinimServer.

Yes, sorry that I was not clear enough. Seeking does not work with this Sony device, but It works for other renderers (I just tried this after your response). I tried seeking at the Sony device with BubbleUPnP and Kinsky as control points and it seems that the Sony device considers the tracks to be unseekable, as the MinimServer log doesn't show anything when trying to seek.

Quote:This might be related to missing DLNA information that the Sony device expects for MP3 files but not for WAV files. From the perspective of the Sony device, a transcoded FLAC file would appear to be a WAV file.

Thanks for your explanations, this is very likely to be the cause.
