'Tis a bit of a shame, given that I assume the converter (avconv or ffmpeg) could do it if it could optionally be put in the loop for flacs.

No matter. I have a different solution using LMS, but I always like to have 2 ways of doing things.

This is now supported in MinimStreamer 0.5.5 and MinimServer update 60 (you need both of these).

Thanks very much indeed. I had a few attempts to install MinimServer 60 but it took eventually.

I do (inevitably - sorry) have a question.

I can't specify flac:wav24;192/wav24;96 (it is rejected), and so I assume that I have to set the transcoding to suit the least capable renderer that I have. Is that correct?

I tried flac:wav24;192/wav16;96 but that didn't work on my Marantz. Could that be the fault of the CP not checking the renderer capability well enough?
