Hi Chaps,
I am still using MC22, as my primary source to listen to my collection of 5.1 music.
So I have a windows 8 mini-pc attached to the back of my Yamaha amp, as the main source, outputting via HDMI audio.
Source storage is a SMB fileserver on the network, which also works without issues as a fileserver & a media server for my TVs (emby).
There's a network library on a windows 8 vm. (I tried a linux docker, which I'd prefer, but the cover art was broken).
The tracks are all listed in the library with the most generic URL possible, \\192.168.1.1\fileshare\music\xxx
I'm using that URL format because pf reading your wiki, which says it's better for shared libraries.
The library consists of WAV, FLAC, DVDs, MKVs allsorts, all tested with MC22 so they all play.
Fundamentally it works, mostly.
There are plug & play issues sometimes if I don't power things on in the right order, but meh.
However, I have a very annoying problem with MC22 on this mini PC.
Some tracks play & others don't.
The ones which don't play just say "buffering" or similar.
(The username & password are consistent on both the client & server).
I have checked the source files & they play fine with foobar2000 with the files dropped in from windows explorer, using exactly the same URL as above.
So how do I debug this? - any debug logs available?
What can I do to test it?
I have tried lots of things, including Local library (backup on known good working source, restored in mini-pc).
It almost seems like access to \\192.168.1.1\fileshare\music\xxx isn't quite working, but how can I test that inside MC22?
Open to suggestions, please help.
Thanks in advance
BTW - I'm not keen to try the latest version, because of issues & re-installs & failures, I only have a small number of license installs left (I thought it was unlimited, but every time I get an email coutning down ominously).
