    Hi *, I got a new Philips np2900 and was not very pleased with TwonkyMedia, which comes with this streaming client. So I decided to give Mediatomb a try. Most of the things work as expected, but I have lots of MP2 audio files, which I want to stream to the np2900. These MP2 files have to be transcoded, because the np2900 does not have the capability to play MP2 on its own. I read the according sections from the online documentation, but seem to be missing something. I added the following xml code to config.xml: ... <map from="mp2" to="audio/mp2"/> ... <transcode mimetype="audio/mp2" using="mp2mp3"/> ... <profiles> <profile name="mp2mp3" enabled="yes" type="external"> <mimetype>audio/mp3</mimetype> <accept-url>no</accept-url> <first-resource>yes</first-resource> <accept-ogg-theora>no</accept-ogg-theora> <agent command="ffmpeg" arguments="-i %in -f mp3 -y %out"/> <buffer size="1048576" chunk-size="131072" fill-size="262144"/> </profile> </profiles> ... Unfortunately with these additions files with an mp2 extension aren't transcoded at all 8-( When I change ... <transcode mimetype="audio/mp2" using="mp2mp3"/> ... to ... <transcode mimetype="audio/mpeg" using="mp2mp3"/> ... MP2 audio files are transcoded, but also all of my MP3 files, which is not, what I want. Is there any possibility to distinguish between MP2 and MP3 audio files for transcoding? Second question: How can I get Mediatomb to read and use tags in my MP2 files? They are included in all of my MP2 files, but Mediatomb seems to ignore them. TIA. Bye. Michael.
