My intention is to try the firewall/A/V route first. I just need to find my reinstall information so I can put it all back after I'm done testing (that and find some time to do it). Thanks for the help so far. -- colin_young -

IIRC The use of socketwrapper by the ALAC decoder is different to the use by wmadec so I don't expect the alternative socketwrapper to solve the problem. However each new version of these security software get more and more zealous in blocking apps which network in unexpected ways. It would be b

The alternative socketwrapper handles a A/V problem but it usually only happens with AlienBBC. The code was going to be adopted by the Slimserver developers but the Author (Ian Cook) has become uncontactable. To see if McAfee is the problem - you should test with McAfee uninstalled, just disable

I have Mcafee a/v and personal firewall. Yes, I've noticed that slimserver needs permissions granted to the local exes to run. Previously I had to open ports in the firewall in order to access slimserver from a remote machine, but not on the local machine. Are there any log settings I can turn on

It's likely you've gone from a version of Slimserver where WMA files had to be transcoded to a format supported by hardware/Softsqueeze to the current version where WMA files can be decoded natively by the Squeezebox hardware. Unfortunately the Softsqueeze app still does not support native playba
