Transcoding is done through ffmpeg (libavcodec, libavformat). If ffmpeg supports that format, mt-daapd will be available to transcode from that format. If ffmpeg doesn't support it or ffmpeg is buggy, then mt-daapd is impacted directly. You need to do the above test to find out/confirm what's going on.

Correct, they don't support any decent music format. AAC/ALAC/MPEG4 counts as half-decent :D JB. -- Julien BLACHE - Debian & GNU/Linux Developer - <[email protected]> Public key available on <http://www.jblache.org> - KeyID: F5D6 5169 GPG Fingerprint : 935A 79F1 C8B3 3521 FD62 7CC7 CD61 4FD7 F5D6 5169 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
