If there is no way to transcode a file that is not supported by the target device, it would be great if these could be excluded. In my case, the receiver does not support lossless WMA, so sending those file over just generates errors at the receiver.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's hard to know whether we'll be able to transcode a file for the device or not, until transcoding actually takes place, so I'm not sure we'd be able to pre-filter such files on the fly. Some devices will play files not recognized by FFmpeg with transcoding turned off and the files just passed through Mezzmo.

I guess at the moment you'd have to filter these out manually in Mezzmo's GUI and move them out of the Library.

Hopefully, over time, more and more file formats will be supported, so this won't be an issue in the future.
