Running multiple instances MinimServer on QNAP and selectable audio format

For example, Kazoo can only control OpenHome renderers. The second step is to decide which device you will use to run the control point. For example, BubbleUPnP is an excellent control point that runs only on Android.

The MinimStreamer transcoding setup for multiple streams is described in this section. The control point asks the renderer what stream types it supports and automatically chooses the first suitable stream.

OK, makes sense and I can live with that quite happily.

I'm struggling a bit to get the multiple streams working in MinimStreamer, though. It doesn't seem to like me trying to create two or more transcoding possibilities for FLAC. Previously I was transcoding flac:wav 24, and I tried to put in flac:wav24, flac:wav16 and got error "Multiple targets for source 'flac', correct highlighted value and retry.

I suspect this means you can't attempt multiple transcoding for a single source file - am I right?

Also I note there is no output type for ALAC or AAC files - would I use dopwav or L16 to provide a stream Apple players can use?

As ever, many thanks for all your help.
