Serviio takes care of pretty much every format that I throw at it and streams it fine to my 2012 bravia, but in the case of FLAC, it doesn't seem to work. i just see empty folders on tv where there are FLAC audio songs. It'd be awesome if serviio could dumb down the FLACs to mp3 for sony devices :) TY

Serviio supports FLAC, and I think the Sony profile transcodes it to LPCM, so it should work.

Sony 2012 device transcode FLAC to LPCM...you can edit the profile to transcode to mp3 to allow pause & resume function, replace targetContainer="lpcm" by targetContainer="mp3"
  Code:
         <Audio targetContainer="lpcm" forceInheritance="true">
            <!-- To allow "pause" then "resume" functions and album art for TVs that support it - transcode to mp3 instead -->
            <Matches container="ogg" />
            <Matches container="flac" />
         </Audio>
