felahughes 2 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Hi All I've set up Emby to serve music files to my Wiim Mini Streamer and it's frustratingly working nearly perfectly! When using the Wiim app, I can pull up the music and it all plays fine, at the full bitrate. I can also control the Emby server from the app no problem. However, the Emby app is much better so I'd like to get that to work. The problem is when I play from that it transcodes the stream to MP3 despite my setting up a DLNA device profile for the Wiim Mini. Looking at the logs, I can't tell if it's not seeing the device profile I've set up or seeing it and not getting the right settings. I was hoping the DeviceProfileID would help me find out what profile it was using (default or my custom one) but it seems to change with every server restart. Either way, the log says "TranscodeReasons=AudioCodecNotSupported". For the device profile, I've put the "Friendly Name" that I gave the Wiim as the identification data and confimed it's correct using a uPNP utility. I've added the audio codecs its supports and upped the max bitrate too. Any suggestions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Hi, please attach the Emby server log from an example. Nowadays we can usually auto detect what a device supports for music playback so in most cases you shouldn’t have to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felahughes 2 Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 Here you go. I played a few seconds in the browser and then switched to the Wiim. embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37071 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 OK this is actually an m4a but an mp3 file should direct play, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felahughes 2 Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) Yep- the Wiim can handle pretty much anything audio: MP3, AAC, ALAC, APE, FLAC, WAV, WMA, OGG up to 192 kHz/24 bit So I want it all to direct play. Almost all my audio is lossless m4a and I don't want it converted to lossy mp3. Edited April 30, 2023 by felahughes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 @felahughessince you're on the beta channel we should be able to get this resolved quickly. For starters, are you still seeing this with Emby Server 4.8.0.42+ and the latest update to the Emby Dlna plugin? In your previous log I can see that m4a support is being detected so I'm surprised it's not direct playing. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
