When I was running Slimserver on a Windows 2000 machine I had exactly the same issue. I think you'll find that, out of the box, Slimserver is set up to transcode ogg to flac (which requires running both sox and flac with a pipe between them).
The simplest solution I found was to edit the convert.conf file and comment out that line, leaving only the option to convert ogg to wav directly with oggdec. -- cliveb _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
