    Default Transcoding issue with WMA Lossless (0x0163)

    Hi,

    I'm running the trial version of Mezzmo and have run in to a problem with transcoding WMA files that use Microsoft's WMA Lossless codec (0x0163). At least I think that is the problem. All my audio files are WMA files, however some are use the WMA Pro codec (0x0162) and the rest WMA Lossless (0x0163). The WMA Pro ones seem to transcode well...but the others don't. I've compared the output from the "get FFMPEG info" button...and can see that max_analyze_duration has been reached for the Lossless files.

    I'm streaming audio files from a Windows 7 PC to a Samsung series 6 TV, via an Android tablet (Witstech A81e) using the 2Play application. Amazingly, it seems to work well...except for the lossless files. I've got around 9000 of them...so don't really want to convert them.

    Is the problem due to the max_analyze_duration issue in FFmpeg...or maybe WMA lossless isn't supported?

    Thanks,

    Bruce.

    Thanks for the info - FFmpeg does not recognize that audio stream, so we cannot transcode the file at the moment. We could deliver it natively if the device supported WMA Lossless, but I don't think that Samsung devices support it.
