If these are your settings for FLAC, it means how conversion is being handled if the player wants to use one of these formats. For example, if you set AIFF to "disabled" it means that a player can not use an AIFF stream in case you want to play FLAC. Each player has a list of supported formats and if you try to play a FLAC file the server will try the supported stream formats, best quality first.
So, for example, if you disable everything except PCM, the server will only support streaming FLAC through PCM. If the player doesn't support PCM you can't play the file (yes, there are a few software players that don't support PCM). Note that this is primarily for local files. For remote streams there is an additional limitation in that the server can ONLY encode to FLAC or MP3 so if you disable these both (MP3 only works if you have lame installed), then remote FLAC streams will not work. Another limitation is that if you ever try to use bitrate limiting, this always goes through MP3 so you need MP3 enabled, --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103284 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
