That would be instructive (cf. my problem where dsf:-/wav24;176 with a klimax does work with kinsky app, but does not work with kazoo nor lumin app ?)

Hi Serge,
I think you have run into the problems we experience with the UPnP Standard that is not really a firm standard but open to interpretation by vendors. Some good, some not so good.

I will try to recap what I have learned from Simon and bubbleguuum over the last couple of weeks.

Music Library Server - I assume you are using MinimServer/MinimStreamer
The music server advertises the file formats it can server natively and through transcoding.
Native format: audio/x-dsf
Transcoded format: dsf:-/wav24;176 (native DSF and DSF to WAV24;176)

Music Renderer - Linn Klimax DS
Advertises the file formats it can playback.
audio/x-wav

Control Points - needs to match server and renderer file types
Linn Kinsky queries the music server and learns it can serve both native DSF files and transcode DSF files to WAV for playback.
Linn Kinsky queries the Linn Klimax DS and learns it can play back audio/x-wav files but not audio/x-dsf files.
Linn Kinsky then knows it can request the music server to send the transcoded file (DSF to WAV24;176) to the Klimax DS.
Linn Kinsky request the server to send the transcoded file (DSF to WAV24;176) to the Klimax for playback.

It sounds like the Kazoo and Lumin apps are not able to match server capabilities with renderer playback capabilities.
They do not know to request the transcoded file from the server so the server is probably sending the DSF file which the Klimax can not play.

At least that is my understanding.

Simon, bubbleguuum,
If I have gotten anything wrong, please correct my understanding by reply. I appreciate all you have done for me and I certainly do not want to lead anyone astray in this minefield.
