Support Loseless file type: APE Lossless, WMA Lossless, WAV Lossless, LPCM

[Former user]

Also, make available the following info when streaming audio:

• audio timeline
• track duration
• quantization bit / sampling frequency
• number of audio channels
• support for sampling rates up to 192KHz / 24bit

I'm asking this for Playstation 3 profile, but maybe other profiles could benefit from this enhancement.

Hello, could you do apple lossless (ALAC) as well? Thanks

[Former user]

Would it be possible to support WavPack lossless files ( .wv ).It is gaining in popularity due to its performance and functionality and hardware support.

See here for more info

Thanks for continuing to improve Serviio.

Love Serviio. Replaced Twonky & Vuze in my home with Sony BDP. Loving streaming FLAC. Looking forward to Apple Lossless (ALAC). Thanks!

Hi - I"m also a fan of Serviio - it's working great. Here is yet another vote for supporting ALAC. Thanks for such a great application.

[Former user]

Serviio is a really great product. Many thanks. Adding support for Apples Lossles would be great.

should also allow to transcode to multichannel formats: http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6280&start=10#p45658

Serviio runs pretty good on my MAC. Love transcoding .m4a to LCPM to my Bravia. Please add Apple Lossless (ALAC). Than it's perfect!

[Former user]

Another vote for Apple Lossless. Serviio is great!

[Petr Nejedly]

It should be able to transcode to wav (apparently Xbox supports this), eg flac -> wav

[Former user]

Same here - love the product - would be perfect if you could support Apple Lossless. Thanks

[Oleg Kandaurov]

vote for Apple Lossless. btw, great job Petr!

[Former user]

Any news on Apple Lossless (ALAC) -> LPCM please?

[Petr Nejedly]

Alac is in mp4 so will need to distinguish that and aac in mp4 in the transcoding matchers.

[Petr Nejedly]

Can only do stereo LPCM, so will have to merge the channels of multichannel files.

[Defcon Shark]

I would like to vote for this, please my sir.

[Petr Nejedly]

Added support for Wav, WMA Lossless, ALAC
