Hi! Apparently the current DShow filters (https://xiph.org/dshow/ , Version 0.85.17777) don't allow for flac files to be streamed over DLNA from Windows to DLNA devices (like a TV set with WLAN). I use Windows 8.1 64 bit and while Play-to works with mp3 and other "natively" supported files, it does not works with flac files. (I can play them locally in WMP, just not send them over DLNA), Is there any solution? How much of changes would be needed to the dshow filters to allow this functionality? Or is the problem somewhere else? Regards, David

This needs to be decoupled. Other Xiph filters have had the same problem. It is on my TODO list (also reported as #1653 <https://trac.xiph.org/ticket/1653>), but as you have seen the work on DirectShow filters is non existent in the recent years. I plan to get back at hacking the DirectShow filters this autumn. As for a solution, Windows 10 provides a MediaFoundation filter for FLAC, and it might simply just work.

This project seems to fit the bill: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mfflac/ It plays FLAC files in WMP and also allows "play to". Except it does not support the other codecs (vorbis, Opus...)
