Some startup help needed

It isn't possible for a UPnP server to change the transcoding format based on which renderer will play the stream. This is because the available stream transcoding formats are advertised by the server to the UPnP control point and the control point selects a suitable stream format based on the capabilities that the UPnP renderer has advertised to the control point.

For example, if your music library contains a FLAC file and you have set the stream.transcode property to flac:-/wav/L16, MinimServer would advertise the original untranscoded FLAC stream and transcoded WAV and L16 streams. If the control point is playing this file to a renderer that supports WAV and L16 but not FLAC, it would select WAV (not L16, because you put 'wav' before 'L16' in stream.transcode). If the control point is playing the same file to a different renderer that supports FLAC and WAV but not L16, it would select FLAC (not WAV, because you put '-' before 'wav' in stream.transcode).

This approach works well for streams of different MIME types (such as FLAC, WAV and L16) but it doesn't work well for streams with the same MIME type and different resolutions (such as WAV 96 kHz and WAV 44.1 kHz) because the UPnP protocol isn't able to distinguish between a renderer that supports WAV 96 kHz and a renderer that supports WAV 44.1 kHz. Also, MinimServer isn't able currently to vary the transcoding output depending on the resolution of the input file (only its type).
