Hi there,

I'm a SB user running SlimServer on a Buffalo LinkStation (thanks to
Marc D. Field for this successful project).  Previously I ran
SlimServer 5.4.1 streaming only MP3s or WAV.

I upgraded to SlimServer 6.0.1 because of the in-built FLAC streaming
capabilities.  This works fine with SoftSqueeze (v2.014b I believe) and
initially worked ok with SB.  However, it has stopped working even
though it is a ticked supported file type in the Server Settings area
(via the web interface).

Whenever I try to select a FLAC file with the SB it finds the file,
looks like it's going to play it and then comes up with a 'Can't Open
File' error.  I have made no changes other than to increase the number
of FLAC files in my collection and a couple of reboots when Wipe
Cache/ReScan didn't seem to work.

I've now uninstalled/re-installed Slim Server 6.0.1 several times and
whatever I do I can't get the SB to play FLAC (it's fine with MP3 & WAV
and SoftSqueeze CAN handle FLAC files).

Am I doing anything wrong?  Did I dream that I got FLAC working with my
SB in the first place?  Should 6.0.1 work for a SB where SlimServer is
insalled on a Buffalo LinkStation?

I'm going to buy a SB2 in the near future anyway but I'd really like to
get this cracked with my SB in the short term if possible and to ensure
the SB has a longer shelf-life (deployed in a different room for
instance).

Sorry for the long note and thanks for any help advice you can give me.
(PS. I'm an audio enthusiast rather than a techie so please simplify
any advice/recommendations!).
