Hi,


The FLAC decoder filter includes also the file reading part. 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.

Cheers,
Cristian.

Apparently the current DShow filters (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://xiph.org/dshow/">https://xiph.org/dshow/</a> ,
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
