It beggars belief I've not noticed before. Mismatched exe and kernel is a very common sort of problem - happens on Linux and Windows systems. When installing an application required for transcoding, it is a good idea to do a sanity check not only to see exe run but also to check version and build options. 64bit on 32 bit PC won't work but quite often a 32bit exe or even a 64kbit exe won't work on a 64 bit kernel because of missing libraries/DLLs. Many Windows exe's can fail if they don't have a full install package which does checking and install compatibility libraries (due to different version of compiler). A quick look at the WinSxS directory will show how many compatibility libraries have been installed. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114397 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Bug with MP3 player bitrate limiting... maybe?
I've gone through my Playlists and corrected any oddities. I also searched within files in the prefs directory for D:/Music/ and replaced with D:/MyMusic/ (269 instances). I deleted the cache. Once scanning had finished I found I'd lost most of the my plugins. Adding them back caused a few oddities but things seem to be back to normal now and stuff works and the log file is cleaner. So thanks for that. I am still left with the original issue.

Post the log of player.source set to INFO for the problem to see what is causing the issue now. Since there is still the "old" problem and there is also a second problem. I'd guess there could be remnant of the double install somewhere in some file. For example something in new install found files from old install and saved it in its prefs but these prefs have not been updated since deleting directories. With LMS stopped, scan the contents of the prefs files (all text) for all occurances of "Music" (case insensitive search) With LMS stopped, I'd also delete the contents of the Cache directory just to be safe. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114397 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Bug with MP3 player bitrate limiting... maybe?
Hello. Following your instructions BPA my two installations are now one... under the correct directory, server. I still get the same issue with file not found when I attempt player bit rate limiting... but I also have another problem which I'm not sure is related but in an attempt not to flood the forum with my problem posts I'll mention it here. Extra info: In a recent successful attempt to set up library views I changed the name of the directory my main music library is held in. it was D:\Music It is now D:\MyMusic I have rescanned from scratch (twice) but my log file is stuffed with lines like this... all pertaining to either the first album (by A-Z) in my main library or the first track in that album. I'm assuming there just be some other entry someone where in LMS that still refers to the old directory path (and it is not in my playlists as this album is not included in any). You'll know this I'm sure but the 'open (91) Warning' error line is when I tried to play a track. Again, any help very appreciated (and I am all too aware that this is all a bit one-way).

The problem is the two version have a common root and LMS in some circumstances searches for files (e.g. executables) in ALL subdirectories so for example I think (depending on the root) all conf file in both installation could be scanned and merged with confusing results.

The error shows problem in processing - no output from the chain. So you should first check out the components that they run OK from a command prompt.

If I have it set to anything other than 'No Limit' the Receiver will play the first few seconds of a track and then skip to play the next few seconds of the next track, ad infinitum. It does this silently. There is no sound. I've tried with MP3 and Flacs and with a different player, with the same result. I am told I have Lame installed correctly.
