Good news! Actually, I guessed that something is happening behind the curtain since there were no quick fixes for the two other problems.
On another thread I mentioned that there is something that could be fixed with the MPC file format support. It's the old issue about MC claiming that it can safely run only one instance of the MPC decoder. The issue comes up in certain situations:
- When playing an MPC file and trying to analyze other MPC files at the same time.
- When MPC files are tried to play simultaneously on more than one zone.
- When using library server & converter and the currently playing MPC track is changed.
However, I suppose it's not anymore true or necessary if
the new decoder libraries are used. For example Foobar 2000 can play and analyze MPC files at the same time and I haven't experienced anything unsafe when doing it.
Could you please have a look at this too? Thanks.
P.S.
Could you include the current versions of MPC and Ogg Vorbis encoders?
MPPenc v.1.15t and
Vorbis 1.1.0. IMHO they are better. Thanks again.
