Sony STR-DN1040 - Stream FLAC instead of MP3???

[Paul]

Hi joibjarna,

Assuming you have a current Sony STR model, then use the 'Sony STR (2013)' device profile.

Please post the FFmpeg information for one of the FLAC files that does not play. To do this, right-click on the FLAC file in Mezzmo and click 'Get FFmpeg Information'.

Hi

thank you for the extreamly quick reply! not used to so quick responses on forums.

after a bit more research I can see that it is a 24 bit file.. not 36 as mentioned before. and yes I have the Sony STR-DN104.

But here is the FFmpeg information for the file that does not play, the other files are from the same artist:

Thanks for the FFMpeg information. This FLAC is 32-bit and it is not supported by your device (according to the Sony STR-DN1040 documentation, only 8 kHz – 192 kHz, 16 bit FLAC and 44.1 kHz – 192 kHz, 24 bit FLAC are supported). I'd suggest you change these files to 16-bit or 24-bit and they should play fine after that.

Im having problems. I can play this on my Sony dn1040 off USB but not via Mezzmo. Dloaded as a 24bit FLAC

I cant make then transcode to MP3 either. Probably just doing something wrong as I'm new to all this server stuff

What device profile is assigned to your Sony dn1040? Go to the Media Devices dialog in Mezzmo to see this. It should be using the 'Sony STR (2013)' device profile.
