Unfortunately there is no standard MIME type for DSF files. The following have been used by various servers and renderers:

audio/dsd
audio/x-dsd
audio/dsf
audio/x-dsf

and for DFF files:

audio/dsd
audio/x-dsd
audio/dff
audio/x-dff

Some servers provide an option to change the MIME type that the server sends and I will look into the possibility of adding this support in a future version of MinimServer.

I don't think MininServer should add DLNA.ORG_PN=DSF as this violates the DLNA specification and might cause problems with some DLNA-compliant renderers. MinimServer is currently sending DLNA.ORG_PN for all filetypes that are defined by DLNA.

Hi there,

Any idea on when you will get a chance to implement this?

I have a Panasonic Blu-ray player that can decode dsf files as DSD via DLNA over the network, however my Sony AV receiver cannot and I think it is due to this very issue.

I imagine it is due to the Sony using the x-dsd and x-dff MIME types, where as the Panasonic uses dsd and dsf.

The Panasonic is hooked up to a Sony DN-1080, however I would like to test the playback on the Sony receiver directly and bypass the Panasonic altogether.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
