I av been trying to get transcoding to work on a 6.0.30 twonky server. I followed the directions:
* 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
note that I made it "sync" and not "async", otherwise when you first select the flac, if not in cache, you must
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"
* make flac2wav executable
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/twonkymedia/cgi-bin/flac2wav
* restart tms
But no matter what I do I can not get twonky to transcode. Am I missing something?

Re: Transcoding flac2wav
did you edit the flac.location for the flac executabkle ?
did you edit the ps3 profile in the clients.db to tell it to transcode flac?
I think the following is how to do it, but not exactly sure if this is correct
// MT MIMETYPE conversion - client needs alternative mime type for given file extension (case insensitive)
// TR support for this transcoded formats
// TP <target name>,<extra parameters> add extra parameters to transcoder

Re: Transcoding flac2wav
I noticed you are using version 6.0.30
in the revsion history for 6.0.31
http://twonkyforum.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... 702#p34696
it says this
-fixed: Disabling a content type in client adaptation (e.g. "MT:flac not-supported") disables also transcoding from that mime type
Not sure if it is connected or not,

Re: Transcoding flac2wav
I think that may have to edit the transcoding.db

But it may be of some use to you
