Shield not direct playing FLAC?

[stordoff 1]

For some reason, my Shield does not appear to be direct playing FLAC audio (alongside HEVC video). Stereo is transcoded to AAC, 5.1 to AC3. Opus 5.1 direct plays fine

Hi.  I see you are running an (old) beta version of the server.  What version of the app are you running?

I completely forgot to check for updates. Shield app is the latest version. I've updated to the latest beta (.75), and I'm still seeing the same behaviour (except the stereo file is now reporting Direct Play Error and transcoding the video _as well_ - see log)

 

If I force Direct Play (by disabling transcoding on my user), both files Direct Play fine.

 

Edit: forgot to attach log

Okay, please watch for the next beta of the app and try this again.

 

Thanks.

FLACs are still transcoding on .80.

Hi, he meant the beta version of the android tv app:
