Hi,

I am talking about scenario 4 but with different subcases to the ones
you have.

The target player is always native (i.e. the Squeezebox).

The files are in the WMP12 library of a laptop computer, i.e,  "other
library". The squeezeserver/white bear are running on a different
machine on the network.

However, whether they get played depends on where the files are
*physically*. If they are on the same machine as the
squeezeserver/white bear, then they will play. If they are on a
different machine, they won't.

Let me lay this out concretely:

I have two machines: BIG and LAPTOP. SBS and White Bear run on BIG as
services (which itself has Windows Home Server as the OS). I have music
files on BIG in its music directory, and also on the LAPTOP, in its own
music directory. WMP-12 runs on the LAPTOP and scans the music folders
of LAPTOP and also BIG through the network. SBS also scans both the
machines, because I have a shortcut to the LAPTOP in the Music folder
of BIG. Therefore music on both machines is available both in SBS on
BIG and in WMP-12 on the LAPTOP.

White Bear now replicates the SBS music library as a DLNA library.
Scenarios 1 and 2 work both for MP3s and FLACs as they should, both for
files physically on BIG and on LAPTOP.

In scenario 4, there are problems, however. If I try to play files to
the native player from the WMP-12 library but physically on BIG, they
will play successfully, both MP3 and FLAC. However, if I try to play
files from the WMP-12 library but which are on LAPTOP, they do not
play.

Does this make sense?
