Just a quick one in case it helps anyone else out there. Hopefully someone will find this via a google search and clarifies what might be going on with their system if they use flac files in their music library.
I installed the Subsonic Plugin and had it all set up. I was able to play mp3's from my music collection but not flac's.
It turns out that he standard transcoding settings accessed in the subsonic web interface didn't work for my flac files.
This is the fix (which is documented in multiple places, but not so clearly):
1. Under the Transcoding section of the subsonic web interface, there should be a single line called "mp3 audio". That line basically converts all known audio formats to mp3 for playing.
2. Remove the "flac" reference in the "Convert from" box.
3. Click the Save button
4. Add a new transcoding procedure:
Name: flac audio [or whatever you want to call it]
Convert From: flac
Convert To: mp3
Step 1: ffmpeg -i %s -f wav -
Step 2: lame -b %b --tt %t --ta %a --tl %l -S --resample 44.1 - -
Then click on Save.
This let me play all my flac files as well as mp3.
Cheers,
Daniel
