I've been struggling to configure my ubuntu-based squeezecenter (ver. 7.1) so as to play files in the .wma format on an older squeezebox, running firmware 40. I understand that this requires on-the-fly transcoding of those files to an mp3 format, and have installed mplayer and lame to the server, using apt-get. I also added the AlienBBC plug-in.
While doing this has enabled the squeezebox to play AlienBBC streams, and other wma-streamed radio stations, it hasn't enabled me to play any server-based .wma files on that player. I've tinkered with settings in /etc/squeezecenter/slimservice-convert.conf from different possible solutions i've hunted up on the web, but nothing has worked so far. The player attempts to start the file, but fails to progress, and keeps restarting the file after a few seconds. I'd appreciate any insight on how to solve this problem.
