since I did not found any "complete" solution in making flac working with ps3,
I played with my setup and now I've a working solution.
I just want to share it for other users, maybe will be useful.
This works with tms 5.0.68 and 5.1.1 (tested both).
system setup:
ubuntu 9.10 on x86_64
TMS 5.1.1 (ok also with 5.0.68)
* install TMS as usual, I assume that "standard" streaming works with ps3 already.
* install flac : sudo apt-get install flac
* in /usr/local/twonkymedia/cgi-bin create file flac-wav.desc ( or edit it, if already in place) and make it in this way :
Code: Select all
# transcode audio
#(c) 2008 by PacketVideo
exec: flac2wav $infile $outfile
# capabilities
from=audio/x-flac
to=audio/x-wav
synchronous
priority=idle
exit from ps3 browser and select same flac again.
On the other hand is better to have a speedy pc
* in /usr/local/twonkymedia/cgi-bin create file flac2wav
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/flac --silent --decode "$1" -o "$2"
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/twonkymedia/cgi-bin/flac2wav
* restart tms
Now it should work on the fly
Basically the change here is : use a "wrapper" to better handle filenames with spaces, and make it sync so you don't have to select twice same file...
hope this can be of some help, since I lost an entire morning figuring this out
