transcoding WMA for IOS

Hello,

I'm using Serviio as mediaserver.
I have a music collection in 16bit WMA lossless and want to stream it to any media device.
On all my IOS devices I have media:connect installed. This DLNA-player does not support WMA.
Therefore I would like to configure Serviio to always transcode online to MP3.
In profiles.xml Generic DLNA profile is configured as follows in the onlinetranscoding tag:

<Audio targetContainer="mp3" aBitrate="384" forceInheritance="true">
<Matches container="flv"/>
<Matches container="asf"/>
<Matches container="rtp"/>
<Matches container="rtsp"/>
<Matches container="mp3"/>
<Matches container="mp4"/>
</Audio>
All my IOS-players have the generic DLNA profile assigned (as default). media:connect however can not play my music.
Airplayer does play my files and supports WMA.
So I think nothing is being transcoded.

Can someone help me configuring Serviio in order to transcode to MP3?

Thanks !

David

Try this.

  Code:
<Profile id="test" name="iOS Audio test" extendsProfileId="1">
      <Transcoding>
         <Audio targetContainer="mp3">
               <Matches container="asf" />
               </Audio>
      </Transcoding>
