I think this may as a result of a change in SS/SC (possibly from 6.5.3
or 4) to minimise use of socketwrapper. AlienBBC works because it is
playing a stream and has its own code to handles the types.
Socketwrapper handles the #FILE# and #FILE# is needed because standard
mplayer cannot output
I have tried using mplayer on Vista to get around the Quicktime issue
but have had no success. The problem appears to be that mplayer is
being executed directly without calling socketwrapper first, as a
result, all that happens is a nice BIG file called #PIPE# is created
on my hard drive!
Xorro,
This thread is specifically trying to sort a problem with a user and
AAC encoded files. This problem has been shown to be due to
Quicktime.
If your files are not AAC/M4A encoded then you would be better off
starting a new thread to get help as there few readers of this thread

I have the same issue, I have 3 SATA drives connected to an NForce4
motherboard running RAID 5. Right now I'm using SlimServer on another
server that isn't using a SATA drive to get around this issue.

I'll give mplayer another try when I get the time.
I was fortuante enough to be able to swap the drive with the music on
from the NVidia controller to a SiL controller instead.
It makes you wonder how QT is tryin to access the drive for it to be
broken in such a way. I can't beleive that the
The simplest explanation is that the NVIDIA chipset/firmware is
introducing occasional delays which are larger than the Quicktime
buffer can cover. Or that there's a bug in the Quicktime buffering.
This is pure conjecture - I have no facts at all.

I just thought I would post a summary of the issues (and the solution) I
have been having recently. My apologies if this has been covered in any
other threads on this forum.
Firstly, the symptoms. AAC (ripped with iTunes) stuttering badly during

You should try mplayer again.
If you are using 6.5.x did you follow the steps in post 16 of this

Ignore the socketwrapper comments as they were sorted in 6.5.4.
