Yes, I am alert to the possibility that another service may have captured the tuner card, but with literally 20 or so "processes" running under Windows, there is no easily identifiable culprit. If I am able to play the tuner via VLC, does this not demonstrated that the device is free to be used by other non-Windows media programs? To my knowledge, I have only 2 programs that use the tuner, Windows Media Center and Orb (a media server). Either program alerts you if the other is using the tuner and gives you the option to seize it. I believe you expect much the same thing to happen with VLC per your comment in the opening post, "If you get a vlc has crashed dialog box (etc.)". The fact that I do not receive any such alert from VLC and that it happily streams the FM tuner per the frequency set with the SC web UI to the PC speakers strongly suggests to me that VLC has control of the card, but is not correctly passing the audio on to TunerPlay and the SB3. Just a point to consider, during installation of VLC, I elected not to use the program as the default player for any audio or video file types. Could this prevent the resulting stream from the tuner in whatever format from playing on the SB3? Also, do you know of any VLC settings that are vital to make TunerPlay work? Your thoughts and suggestions on these observations would be greatly appreciated. -- raglencross ------------------------------------------------------------------------ raglencross's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57692 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
