Web Player Lossless Playback

Unread post by aramisathei »

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but it is possible to support lossless playback for the web player in future versions?
Transcoding is nice when bandwidth is an issue, but when it isn't I much prefer either flac or alac.
Thanks for all your hardwork on this.

hi,
just get rid of " -b:a %bk " in step 1 ,,, there will be still a kind of transcoding from ape or flac to mp3 to without bandwith limit.
til now the best known way as workaround

My apologies for asking here, but i've just noticed that with 'Max bitrate = No limit' flacs are transcoding into 128kbit quality - even in case Madsonic can't play losless with its web-player i would expect 'No limit' = 320kbit in that case... I'm doing something wrong?

Server is MADSONIC 5.2.5420.20141214.0246

Never mind, it turned out that is just an old subsonic bug, described here: http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtop ... f=2&t=9403 and here: http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtop ... =5&t=14101
