Hi there

Problem: .dsf and .dff files do not show up in loaded library into MC from NAS via DLNA. Neither on Linux nor on Windows.

Facts:
1. Sony DN1080 does play DSD files with his own player via DLNA. No issues so far.
2. DSD files show up on webgui Twonky DLNA-server settings.
3. Whitebear DMRA shows renderer is DSD settings are "fuzzy" (thanks, Andrew!)

Guess:
Mimetype issue(s) described here: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,86430.msg590696.html#msg590696
and here:                                       https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,111822.msg772641.html#msg772641

In neither of those threads a clear description is given how one can resolve this problem.

Editing the file FileAssociations.xml on Windows from /x-dsf to /x-dsd has no effect on my setup.

Editing the file FileAssociations.xml on Mint from /x-dsf to /x-dsd freezes the application.

Any help would be very appreciated!

Thank you.

Can you please be more specific?

1) Where do the files not show? In MC? Or in the renderer?

2) How are you loading the library in MC from the NAS? Via a file share? Via SMB? Or via a DLNA server running on the NAS?

Hi, Andrew

Thank you for your reply.

2) On the NAS is a DLNA server running. From there I load the library into MC.
1) The library in MC shows all file except .dsf and dff files.

If I use the networkplayer build in the DN1080 those DSD files are played just fine.

I think your going to need bob from JRiver to answer this one..

After a little while playing with JR, I get some useful results concerning this topic:
1. With my setting (Twonky DLNA server and Sony DN1080 renderer) JR does not show dsf-files. But you can play those files using your smartphone via "Sony Music Center"-App.
    Running JR check the available players on JR and select your renderer (which in my case is the Sony DN1080 amplifier). Now JR displays the dsf-file and you can add the file to your library.
    Even after restart of JR the file remains in your library.
2. Cover-art: Some DLNA server handle only 150pt x 150pt resolution thumbnails of the cover arts. You can either add your own picture in the same folder as the corresponding music file and name it folder.jpg or you can edit the ID3v2 metadata of your music file with a tag editor or you simply add a picture from any location from your PC and store it locally in a JR cover art folder (see settings in options).
Because a DLNA library is read only JR wont display the cover arts you manually changed after a restart of JR. But you can select all albums and check Cover Art->Quick find in File and voila.

For those DLNA servers that can't handle big cover art there is an option under the DLNA server advanced settings to include a small cover art file automagically. You might try enabling that.
