Sorry for relying so late: Well, it seems to just work on my setup. I have the Shark codecs for Win 7 installed (you need both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions, since WMP-12 is a 32-bit app) and set to their recommended settings. I am also running a plugin called WMP Tag Plus, which allows me to add to the library the files which are not normally supported. Maybe this is a key? In addition, the server must have file access to the directory in which the music files are located: I am running the LMS service on the server using the same user as I use on the laptop, so that the permissions work out. You should be able to test if this is possible by browsing to the music folder through LMS's menus and playing the files (you may have to add some kind of link across machines?). Given the above, playing FLACS works perfectly fine. It is also possible to play AAC files in this way. However there is a problem: the same track will repeat over and over once it reaches the end instead of progressing onto the next track in the list. You have sent me a new version by PM: I am not sure whether you changed anything with regard to the above, but I'll let you know if there is any change. -- Wigster ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wigster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14899 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90842 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
