Flac support

[graemedurie]

Hi, I'm new to Rune, thought I would try it yesterday and it looks very promising, I've got a Synology NAS which I've added a mount point and asked Rune to refresh the database. I'm currently running .03 beta.

The database does not include a single FLAC file which makes up the vast majority of my music, it doesn't even display the folders that contain FLAC files, am I missing something ?

Hi, thanks for the reply it's and Rpi2 at the moment but I will be changing to an Rpi3 when it arrives, I've also just noticed that there's a newer build (0.4) which I'll try tonight. There are folder.jpg files with the album cover in all my music folders, this doesn't seem to present a problem for the folders containing mp3's only the ones containing flacs. I uploaded a flac to the local storage on the pi in a folder by its self which is also not listed in local storage but there is a number 1 showing in the interface indicating that there is a file there but it's not displayed.

Hi, yes all my flacs are tagged, they have the jpg cover art embedded in the flac, same with the mp3's. That's a good point actually I'll try a new flac which is untagged tonight when I get in. The files are currently tagged using a program called Tag&Rename which downloads the proper info from Amazon. (http://www.softpointer.com/tr.htm)

The files as located on a Synology NAS, permissions are not an issue, guest/anonymous users have full access even if I wasn't logging the mount point in as admin which I am.

I've no problem sending an album folder of embedded flac files for testing.

Tried putting a flac with no pictures and no tags on the NAS, still didn't appear.

installed 0.4 on the SD instead, added the mount point again rebuilt the database and boom all of a sudden all the directories are now there including the ones with flacs.

Can you safely update the distribution through putty using pacman -Syy and pacman -Syu ?

Yeah it was strange, however its working perfectly now, this is by far the best music streaming software I've come across for the Pi.
