Audio Transcode Bitrate?

Is there a setting to change the audio bit-rate served up via the web-interface?

 

If the sourcefile is lossless the chances are I really don't want it streamed as a 128kbps Mp3.

It transcodes all my wma files into 128bit mp3 files also, hopefully in the future it will support more formats

No flac?  Shove it.  128mbps .mp3 is garbage.

 

the browsers don't play flac. so if you want to tell someone to shove it, it's not us :)

OK, my bad.  I'm using the Roku 2, not my browser.  Every time I try to play a music file, MB shuts down and returns me to the home page.

hmm. does roku 2 even play flac? sounds like we're missing a check somewhere.

Yes, Roku plays .flac, (firmware 5.3 and up) according to their published specs.

 

What is the proper way to scan my library?  I have all my music (90% flac, a few WMA lossless, a handful of .mp3) on one drive.  I used the drive name (E:\) for the scan folder, but it seems to be hung about 1/4 of the way through.

 

As a matter of fact, it says "Last result: (Aborted by server shutdown)", but the "scan library button" is greyed out.

An option to adjust the Audio Quality would indeed be really nice, just to put the thread up.

 

When playing a file over WebClient with HQ EarPlugs with native DTS-HD MA e.g., the 128k MP3 transcoding is indeed a bit unelegant.

 

Cool feature would be transcoding to 256 or 320k, but not higher than source (e.g. 192k MP3).
