FLAC and PS3

Hi guys,

I've been having trouble playing .flac audiofiles on my PS3 under Serviiio. I can play them on my Sony Bravia KDL32600EX TV, but on the PS3 the files are listed as "unsupported data".

I've added the following lines to the PS3 profile in the profiles.xml file located in the \Program Files\config directory hoping to solve the issue:

In the transcoding section following "/video" line:

<Audio targetContainer="lpcm">
<Matches container="flac" />
<Matches container="ogg" />
</Audio>

What am I doing wrong?

I suppose that your TV is a KDL-32EX600 model...so flac could be transcoded into lpcm (lossless) or into mp3 stream
but into lpcm, pause and resume function don't work, so preferred transcoded into mp3.
  Code:
             <Audio targetContainer="lpcm">
                <Matches container="asf" />
                <Matches container="mp4" />
                <Matches container="ogg" />
             </Audio>
             <!--  To allow "pause" then "resume" functions on flac must be transcode to mp3 -->
             <Audio targetContainer="mp3">
                <Matches container="flac" />
             </Audio>


For your PS3, I suppose this is the same.
Do you restart serviio service after profiles.xml modifications?

Thanks Ililco - I'd restarted serviio, but once I'd rebooted the computer it was working. Sorry for the waste of a thread.
