Can't play FLAC files
« on: October 13, 2005, 11:24:10 am »

None of my FLAC files work. Either they will just skip a track and stay silent (if next is flac, turn on if next is another format) or pop up this error message: "Media Center encountered errors while trying to play the last several files. Playback Engine: Failed to open the file. The file may be corrupt or missing. Please make sure that the path in your media library points to the right location."

As far as I can tell the files are neither corrupted nor dislocated, so I can't figure it out. Running 11.1.31.

I think you need to re-download the flac encoder plugin.  This is available on the plugins page.  As a note, you're using the alpha, experimental version.  The stable version is 11.0.316.

The 11.1 alpha builds are meant only for testing. As jgreen said you should use MC11.0 instead. I would recommend uninstalling MC11.1 with the registry cleaning option before installing the v.11.0.316.

You may want to try scthom's new FLAC plug-ins, which are available here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=29211.0. Please use that thread for questions or discussion.

If you are using 11.1, then you will absolutely need the latest flac decoder plugin -- version 1.3.0.  None of the previous versions will work with 11.1 (only 11.0).
