I'm trying to play FLAC, Ogg and Opus files from my Windows 8.1*HDD to my TV** over DLNA.

Unlike MP3 and other files natively supported by Windows that work fine using the "Play to" feature of Explorer/WMP, FLAC&co don't work.

Installing the Directshow Filters for Ogg Vorbis, Speex, Theora, FLAC, and WebM does not help (they allow those files to be played locally in WMP, but not to be streamed over DLNA - turns out it is the fault of those filters).

I also tried foobar2000 with the foo_upnp plugin, but its UPnP Controller component does not detect the TV, no matter what I try*** (a common problem with it, as I see on forums).

* Windows Pro 8.1 Update 1, 64 bit

** Sony KDL-50W829

*** turning firewall off, running it in compatibility mode, switching to Windows 10 and maybe others I forgot...

MFFLAC is a Media Foundation-based codec for FLAC. Installing that instead of a DirectShow-based one might be the trick to get Play To working.

  • It works, but of course only for FLAC files, not ogg or opus. I gave you a point, thanks.

Try this soft for multimedia

Home media server:https://www.homemediaserver.ru/index.htm

For codecs that not readable use transcoding

The newest version of the foo_out_upnp plugin (1.0 beta 15) for foobar2000* works. It presents the detected UPnP media renderers as an output device in foobar2000 settings and by that does exactly what I wanted.

* - now I use foobar2000 v1.3.16
