Im having this very very strange problem detecting dff files via network. I am able to read all music files (wav and flac) files through Mosaic but it cannot detect any of the dff/dsf files.
The dff file is there, and I can confirm the file is readable. I copied one file into an usb drive and plug it at the back of rossini and Mosaic detects the file!
I thought it was my NAS so I copy the same file into a windows folder and share through UPNP and Same situation. Detect wav/flac but not dff !!!
I suppose its not the Mosaic error because I tried using portably player (dff) and it also cannot detect the dff through network drive. Anyone experience this issue with dff/dsf and how to resolve it.?
Furthermore, I can detect the dsf/dff tags properly through dBpoweramp , and read through foobar, but it just cannot show the file thought the any media player (portable or mosaic) like the file is missing.
The file type recognition is actually a function of the UPnP Server, Mosaic will only show what it’s told as available by UPnP Server. So, that’s likely where your problem is.
Thanks for the response. I figure out the caused after doing a bit of research online and resolved it. I’m going to share it here in case someone else happen hit the same problem reading dsd files in the same scenario:
The problem is that many DLNA servers /does not recognize DSD at all , so it cant recognize dff/dsf format as media format. My Asus routers that has a built in DLNA server does not support it. Windows 11 media sharing does not support it, nor miniDLNA server(I tried all!). To test, just rename the dsf/dff file to a .flac or .wav extension and mosaic will display and play properly.
The solution is to use minimserver instead. Either get a NAS that supports it or install the minimserver or/ plugin. When I install the minimserver it’s all resolved and can read also dsf/ddf formats.
