Until recently I have been running an old version of LMS (7.7 I think) 
on a Synology NAS, streaming lossless from Tidal and also from a local
music folder. 
I had an issue with some Tidal hi res files causing stuttering which I
was able to resolve thanks to someone on here suggesting switching to
Sox transcoding via a custom-convert.conf.

All was working fine until recently when Tidal stopped working, with a
message saying Tidal authentication was no longer supported with
versions of LMS below 8.0.
I bit the bullet and upgraded the NAS to LMS 8.0.0 and that fixed the
Tidal authentication problem.

However, the stuttering issue has returned on some hi res Tidal files.
Sure enough, the new installation of LMS had wiped out my
custom-convert.conf file.
So I recreated it, exactly as before:

flc flc * *
[sox] -q -t flac $FILE$ -t flac -

But this time, no joy. As soon as I re-start LMS with the
custom-convert.conf in place, streaming no longer works, either via
Tidal or local music folder.
I'm able to navigate to the selected song but as soon as I hit play
nothing happens. If I do it via the ipeng interface I see a message
'File not available'.
As soon as I remove the custom-convert.conf everything starts working
again.

I wondered if sox was not packaged with LMS 8.0.0 but I see there is a
sox file in the Bin folder.
I had a look at the server log and I can see some entries
'client_readable (413) Client not found for slimproto msg op' that seem
to correspond with attempts to play songs, that stop appearing when I
remove the custom-convert.conf.

Any help or suggestions most appreciated.

thanks

Luke
