    I have a Yamaha Receiver. I use Jellyfin's DLNA plugin to play my music library through the receiver. FLAC files work flawlessly. However, if I try to play *.ogg files with the vorbis codec, I get an error message that says that the receiver is unable to play the file. I can see the files in the Yamaha UI, just not play them. I'm hoping that this is a simple error in my Yamaha Receiver DLNA profile.

    Here is the text of my receiver's XML profile in Jellyfin (Link to pastebin) located at /etc/jellyfin/dlna/user/Yamaha Receiver.xml. It was auto-generated when I linked the two applications. Do I need to tweak this to make JF transcode properly?

    I saw there are a number of open transcoding issues open that are associated with the DLNA plugin, so I guess it could be one of those too. Looking for a little help pinpointing where the error may lie.

    https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-plu.../issues/49

    I should also mention that I have no trouble playing the same *.ogg files on my iPhone. I'm using Finamp and they stream & transcode to AAC perfectly. That's why I believe it's a DLNA or Yamaha issue. I don't have any other DLNA devices.

    Thanks.

    PS. Here is the log output:

    If my understanding of DLNA profiles is correct, the profile you are using will not transcode anything. You need to put the codecs it DOES support in the direct play profile section. Anything not in that section will get transcoded to what you specified in the transcode profile section.
