I installed Minimserver on my qnap212 where the music files are stored. Minimwatch is on my desktop. I use JplayStreamer on a CAPS computer.

JplayStreamer with Jriver as server will play flac just fine (no transcoding). But with Minimserver I get no output with flac files. It's fine with wav.

JPlayStreamer is limited to playing WAV files only. This means you need to install MinimStreamer and enable WAV transcoding in order to play FLAC files using JPlayStreamer. I believe the JPlay website has instructions for doing this and configuring the necessary settings.

Switch to using JRemote with JRiver. Works with flac files -- even DSD in DSF or iso format! Or, try BubbleuPnP as controller for Android. That works well, too, with flac files. JCR
