BBC R3 Lossless Stream

[ac16161]

Am struggling here to get any transcoding to work with my Linn streamers, even with the revised instructions.

MinimWatch is showing ffmpeg as the stream.converty property. The MinimStreamer manual states that if you want MinimStreamer to perform FLAC transcoding using a converter program, a semicolon is added after the output type (see extract below), otherwised it's done by MinimStreamer itself.

FLAC files. Valid for local files served by MinimServer (.flac) only. The output type must be L16, L24, wav, wav24 or wav16. By default, a stream converter program is not required. If you want MinimStreamer to perform transcoding using a stream converter program, you can specify this by adding a semicolon after the output type.

I have tried every syntax permutation for stream.transcode I can think of, and cannot get the R3 lossless stream to play, nor can I get the aac stream to play as WAV (the native stream plays fine). Can the syntax be confirmed, particularly with regard to semicolons?

EDIT: apologies all round, just found a very silly mistake in my .m3u file. Both my Linn streamers are now playing the DASH stream in both FLAC and WAV. Was not expecting the untranscoded to work. However, with transcoding on, I get a pause button instead of a stop button in Kazoo, and I cannot stop playback unless I switch to another playlist entry. With native FLAC and AAC, I get a stop button and all works as expected.
