Can anyone explain what is going on here?  I am playing a file in a Windows client from a server running in Docker on a JRiver NAS.  Why does Audio Path say the source is an MP3 ?

[Edit]
Options > Media Network shows

on both the server and client, but I wouldn't have thought any conversion was necessary

Try setting:
Options > Media Network > Client Options (when connected to a Library Server) > Audio Conversion > Conversion: Don't Convert Audio
Options > Media Network > Client Options (when connected to a Library Server) > Audio Conversion > Encoder: PCM 16-bit

or

Options > Media Network > Client Options (when connected to a Library Server) > Audio Conversion > Conversion: Convert Audio if Necessary
Options > Media Network > Client Options (when connected to a Library Server) > Audio Conversion > Encoder: PCM 16-bit

Here is an old post which explains it in Reply #2, probably still valid:

Thanks, I think

Convert if Necessary/Needed depends on the context....In the client options of library server it means convert to the selected codec whenever the file to be sent is not of that codec already.

Is the key.
