what this is telling you is that required binaries are missing. In this case, you are either missing oggdec or LAME. oggdec is included with the server for a s many cases as possible, but LAME has to be downloaded/compiled by the end user due to licensing issues. Look in player settings->audio. Under bitrate limiting, you will see in the description whether LAME has been detected or not in your system. -kdf _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
