FLAC not playing

Have not changed transcoding options and using default settings.
FLAC was never an issue but stopped working.
PC. Am using 4.8 as it is the only version that works properly with iSub.

This from the log:

[9/26/14 6:16:47 PM EDT] DEBUG InputStreamReaderThread (c:\subsonic\transcode\ffmpeg) Stream #0.0: Audio: flac, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16
[9/26/14 6:16:47 PM EDT] DEBUG InputStreamReaderThread (c:\subsonic\transcode\ffmpeg) Unrecognized option 'b:a'
[9/26/14 6:16:47 PM EDT] DEBUG InputStreamReaderThread (c:\subsonic\transcode\ffmpeg) c:\subsonic\transcode\ffmpeg: failed to set value '128k' for option 'b:a'


What is going on? Thanks.

Had exactly the same problem (on Centos 6.5), solved by updating ffmpeg to latest version. Unfortunately official repos still have the old version, but there is a very good guide for compiling from source at http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Centos

Where does /var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg come from? It's a little non-intuitive to upgrade ffmpeg but still have to fix the version that lives in a subsonic directory.

You're absolutely right, you should not keep a different binary in that folder (unless you have some very specific needs), but rather use a symlink (as a previous post here suggested).
