This is *not* related to your general problem. When you start Whitebear, it may take a minute or two to sort itself out. The reason is that initially it does not know the name of your music library, or how many Squeeze players you have connected, or the names of those players. So when it first starts up, takes itself online with SBS/LMS assuming a generic library name, and assuming zero players connected. Then obviously once it is talking to SBS/LMS it can discover the actual name of your music library, how many Squeeze players are connected, and their names. Then the "generic name Whitebear with no players" goes offline again, and the "proper named Whitebear with all named players" must go online. This may take 30..60 seconds to accomplish.

The #10061 error is "normal" when running Whitebear as a Windows service application: during the above-mentioned online/offline/online phase, the Whitebear Tray Monitor application tries to connect to the Whitebear service application to get its status, and since the service is not yet running, the connection is refused.

I will study your PM and get back to you. Note: in the meantime, I tried un-installing all WMP12 add on filters, codecs, plug-ins (no Shark, no WMP Tag Plus etc.) and in this "pure" native state, the WMP-12 Play To function works perfectly with all of the media formats natively supported by WMP (i.e. Mp3, Wav, Wma, Wmal, and I think also Aac). It is only when you install filters, codecs, plug-ins etc. that the trouble starts. Specifically installing the Shark codec pack does allow you to play flacs locally in WMP12, but it seems to mess royally with the Play To functionality. I believe this is a WMP-12 / Shark issue and not a Whitebear issue... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndrewFG's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90842 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
