Selective transcoding possible?

[simoncn]

There is a UPnP protocol for selective transcoding based on the capabilities of the renderer. MinimStreamer supports this protocol but unfortunately many control points and renderers do not. You can try this in your setup by using the following setting:

alac:-/wav

This causes MinimServer to offer two streams to the control point for ALAC files. This first stream is untranscoded ALAC and the second stream is transcoded WAV. The control point should select the first stream if the renderer can play it (foobar2000 on iOS) and should fall back to the second stream if the renderer cannot play the first stream (OpenHome renderer).

If this doesn't work in your setup, you could create multiple profiles with different transcoding options and manually select the desired profile when changing from one renderer to another.
