I have done this successfully with PiCorePlayer, but as Max2Play as the added Access Point feature, I’m hoping to switch to Max2Play.
I have set up Max2Play on a Pi Zero W with LMS only (ie not using a player as I have a Squeezebox Classic)
Max2Play and LMS work with perfectly playing mp3, wav, etc
It cannot play wma or wmal
On PiCorePlayer the process was to instal ffmpeg & lame and created a custom-convert.conf file and I can play wmal files on my squeezebox.
Is a similar process possible on Max2Play?
We have not had this request yet. However, you can first check whether the option „WMA lossless“ is set to „native“ or „deactivated“ in the LMS Settings‘ advanced section for file formats.
I tried your suggested „sudo su apt-get install ffmpeg“, but it comes up with „No passwd entry for user ‚apt-get'“
With my previous attempt of „sudo apt-get install ffmpeg“ it seemed to go further…
Reading package lists… Done

Reading state information… Done
Package ffmpeg is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.
