It seems 5.1 files fail if you try to transcode to mp3: Could not read info (Unsupported format or corrupted file) from: Source: Sample rate : 48000 Hz Channels : 5: FL FR FC BL BR Bits per sample : 24 Bitrate : 3164 kbps Codec : FLAC Using "Convert 5.1 to stereo" doesn't change anything. If I try to use "Convert 5.1 to stereo" without transcoding I get a wav file that plays but it is 5 channels... So it seems the "Convert 5.1 to stereo" DSP doesn't really do anything... Or am I doing something wrong? My poor internet connection here cannot keep up with the 3164 kbps bitrate I briefly tested streaming a 88.1/24 multichannel FLAC transcoded to 320K mp3 and it worked. Make sure you have modified the foobar2000 streaming profile mp3 section with - "transcode" set to "never" - "except" set to empty string - "lossless and" checked - "internet" checked This will only transcode lossless to mp3 when streaming over the Internet (uncheck "internet" if you want to test transcoding on the LAN) Transcoding to mp3 forces stereo so there is no need to use DSPs. That is what I tried. I getCould not read info (Unsupported format or corrupted file) from: "XXXXXXXXXXX.mp3?profile_id=1&convert=mp3" Unable to open item for playback (Unsupported format or corrupted file): "http://XXXXXXXXXXXX.mp3?profile_id=1&convert=mp3" Can I supply you with a sample file? Or how should I proceed to find the problem?Another thing. Enabling "Convert 5.1 to stereo" forces transcoding to mp3 or decoding to wav. Would it be possible to only force this when the DSP actually does something? That is if it is stereo and only "Convert 5.1 to stereo" is enabled then supply the original file. Not possible as it is not possible for the plugin to know in advance how a DSP chain is going to modify channel count, samplerate etc. So PCM (WAV or LPCM) is always forced when there is a DSP chain associated to a profile. May I suggest a transcoding exception then: "multichannel" or similar. Since I guess often if you stream you are using a limited device and not a full surround environment anyway.
