how to play flac on universal media server ps4

So, in short, if you don't need/want to just remux when possible, as opposed to a full transcoding, or if you do, but the FFmpeg output works fine for your device(s), then you don't need tsMuxeR. I know that this has changed on some of the most recent versions, but I have no idea if that means that FFmpeg is fixed or not.

Fixed support for CMYK JPEG images Fixed 24-bit FLAC fake videos showing up for non-PS3. For some reason, the problem with FFmpeg was only there when only muxing AFAIU. Universal Media Server is a DLNA-compliant UPnP Media Server. Because of this problem, UMS didn't use to use FFmpeg for remuxing, only for transcoding (where FFmpeg 'created' the streams instead of copying them). FFmpeg might have raised the quality of their output in the meanwhile, or they might not. If this is still the case, I have no idea. This meant that some renderers would play it, while others wouldn't.

FFmpeg can do the same, at least in most cases, but there used to be some compatibility issues with FFmpeg's TS output (something with timestamps I think). This means that it's very 'light' (as compared to actually transcoding) while retaining the original quality. I certainly don't remember all the details, but in short, it lets you remux the existing streams into a MPEG-TS file, which is supported on anything that supports DLNA, since it's kind of the 'core' format in the standard.
