FLAC on NAS?
Post
by stefvienna » Thu Jun 07, 2007 4:58 pm
Hi All,
the installation guide mentions:
"FLAC is used to transcode FLAC files to WAV – for DMPs which can not handle FLAC natively. This plugin also needs to be downloaded and installed separately."
- now I would know what to do on Windows & Linux, but I'm running TwonkyMedia on a Maxtor Shared Storage NAS. I know that openMSS ist essentially Linux, but where can I find a pre-compiled plug-in for the NAS - or am I supposed to install a cross-compiler on my Linux box first?
Has anybody tried that yet? Any hints on how to set up the cross-compilation environment?
Streaming my FLACs directly from my NAS to my DSM-320 would be really cool ...
Cheers, Stefan!

My understanding, is that NAS do not have enough resources to transcode FLAC. If your client support FLAC, then it's fine, if not, you won't be able to transcode...
