I have playlists with Auto-cache rules, The cache is set to transcode. Once they are cached and I view the cache information for each track, it shows for example, “Details: 128 kbps - 34.2MB”. The bitrate matches what I expect, but the file size is obviously a full size FLAC. Is the size being reported incorrectly, or are the tracks not being transcoded?
Log created, adding an album to playlist, waiting for cache completion. Uploaded as Quaraxad, track size

The sizes are the correct one, and Symfonium request the transcode in the logs.
And you are using a very old Navidrome version.
I checked the Navidrome logs, and found that most tracks downloaded look like this:

There’s also one track in the batch I tested like this (debug log wasn’t enabled at this time) :

All the requests have &maxBitRate=131&format=opus if Navidrome does not respect the parameters there should be something in logs.
@deluan Can this case require more logs enabled or something to identify why there’s no transcoding ?
I tried caching a few more albums with debug enabled and I cant replicate the previous instance where Navidrome tries to transcode but fails. All I get in the Navidrome logs are a single line per track.

Then you need to enable verbose debug in Navidrome and see with Deluan.
But again: “And you are using a very old Navidrome version.” So he will probably ask you to update first.
I have updated and enabled debug logging.

As I said this is for Deluan. As you can see Symfonium request the proper things …
The only explanation I would have is that you changed some settings on Navidrome side on the Symfonium player seen there to force raw files.
I figured out part of the problem. Symfonium is explicitly asking for a format and bitrate in the request. If there’s no “exact” match for that format set up in Navidrome Transcoding settings, it returns the original file.
DSub does not explicitly request a format, and therefore it gets sent what Navidrome is configured to provide to that client by default.
I don’t see any way in Symfonium settings to change anything other than bitrate of the transcode.

Navidrome have opus by default, and you can force mp3 in the provider settings;
@deluan This is a discussion I had with Gonic earlier, but a server must never return original file if there’s a maxBitrate set and you can’t transcode for any reason, you could explode mobile data usage of users and cost them a lot of dollars.
My Navidrome transcode settings were set for “ogg vorbis”, so it wasn’t matching “opus”. Making a new transcode called opus solved the problem.

Sorry for being late. If it does not return any file, it will fail the play. Not sure if this is the expected behaviour. For me personally I don’t like this approach. There should be a way to let the user know what is going on. Maybe we could add an OS extension, that in this case we return a 400 with an error code and message?
Or just finalize the new stream endpoint

@deluan This is not about liking or not, but about avoid your users to pay hundreds in phone bill because they think they transcode and they are not without any error or way to know. It’s better to fail and fix, than getting 300$ bill a month later without understanding.
This is also valid for all legacy users, if they remove or tweak the profiles.
For the new API it’s ready since a long time, waiting for your answer on OS to build the documentation part.

Well, I think it is . You see, I work on this project to have some fun and good conversations with my community. I don’t get any (significant) monetary compensation for this. Once this project stops being fun, I may pass it to someone else.
Anyway, I keep discussing any advances and the future of Navidrome with my community, and this is not a concern that was raised by anyone, so I’m assuming this is not a priority.
No, it is not? I’m not the only one that can answer/work on that. We have a bunch of people there, I already have a lot on my plate. Please don’t frame this as if I’m the one blocking it.

I answer with the same tone as your sentence, not framing anyone on my side, so if you see it maybe it was on the initial one ?
Anyway yes others do not answer either.
And yes it’s a not priority until a users says I had 300$ bill and ask you why.
