So far I wasn't lucky to convert multichannel Flac to multichannel LPCM. I tried:
eac3to input.flac output.lpcm
which results in LPCM file that plays on PC very slowly. VideoHelp thread says, it has non-standard header content.
However, according to Samsung BD-C6900 spec, it can decode DTS-DH and Dolby True HD - hopefully via LAN too, not only from a BD disk. So, how to edit Samsung BDP profile to add conversion of 5.1 Flac to 5.1 DTS-HD or Dolby True HD, if at all possible (probably not with ffmpeg)?
I found similar threads on ffmpeg conversion, so may be I should transcode Flac to LPCM or Dolby TrueHD saved in MP4 or MKV container instead of raw LPCM for normal multichannel audio playback via LAN? This way the device might comply with artificially restrictive DLNA spec, while at the same time play lossless within an officially supported container.
Another thing, Samsung doesn't play .lpcm and .raw extensions, but does .l16 one, which plays slowly via Asset UpNP Server. I wonder if it interprets .l16 format always meaning 2-channel lpcm? So what would be the right extension for 6-channel lpcm? Mezzmo filters all these extensions - so I had to add lpcm and l16 extensions to filters, the file shows up in Mezzmo PC Console, but not on TV screen - why?
