SB2/SB3 support wma decoding in the player. Softsqueeze does not. So if you play a wma stream using Softsqueeze, then the server decodes it. On windows this is via wmadec, on linux you can use mplayer. I suspect wmadec supports all streams, mplayer may support less.
If you play a wma stream on SB2/SB3 then the player tries to connect direct to the stream and decode it. This gives rise to two possible problems: 1) the player can't connect to the stream (network setup problem) [If you can play other wma streams then this is unlikely, but is possibly the problem if you can't play any streams] 2) the stream includes something the player doesn't like. In which case raise a bug including the stream name as it is possible slim can fix it in the firmware. -- Triode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19730 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
