FLAC transcoding no longer working in newest version(s)

All FLAC transcoding jobs (using EasyAudioEncoder) fail with the error:

Jun 02, 2020 22:30:07.122 [0x955ff450] ERROR - [Transcoder] Unrecognized option ‘crf:1’.
Jun 02, 2020 22:30:07.123 [0x969fe450] ERROR - [Transcoder] Error splitting the argument list:

Seems either EasyAudioEncoder changed parameters or PMS has added a new one.

Server Version#: 1.19.3.2852 (on Raspberry Pi 4)

No one?

Sorry, I didn’t see this until now.

  1. Please verify DEBUG logging on, VERBOSE logging off.
  2. Start Playback and recreate failure.
  3. After failure, download logs ZIP file
  4. Attach here please.

Reinstalling the installation seems to have fixed it.

Hi,

All my library is in FLAC (some purchased, some ripped from CDs with Exact Audio Copy) but only part of the song can be transcoded.
Please find example of working and not working files here : https://www.swisstransfer.com/d/a183bdab-3cfc-4e14-b5cf-75c53eba8d2f
