m4a Error: Failure to Play..Direct Show Filters
« on: January 26, 2006, 09:12:05 am »

Please Help: had this error with 11.1.081 and installed 11.1.88 which suggested fix (see below). No longer receiving error on import but am getting it on actual playback....800+ files impacted!


11.1.88 (12/22/05)

1. Fixed: Some library property menus would not work as expected.
2. Changed: Failures to play m4a, etc. with Direct Show filters through the MC playback engine get logged, but don't show an error message.
3. Fixed: "Cover Art" display could clip the edges off of some images when drawing them.
4. Changed: Root view schemes (audio, images, video, documents) can be erased if they have no files. (they'll reappear if you ever do get files of that type)
5. Changed: Removed "All & Other" from the tree.
6. Changed: "Documents" root scheme appears if there are documents imported, otherwise it isn't visible.
7. Changed: Revised some of the icons in the tree.
8. Changed: Revised Options > Startup > Location to include "Audio", "Images" and "Video".
9. Changed: Disabling album art for a handheld no longer erases art already on the handheld. (use Format / Initialize to start over)
10. Fixed: iPod and other devices would not properly detect whether they should support artwork, so they wouldn't always send it as expected.
11. Changed: Media Center no longer imports Folder.jpg files.

Have you tried the latest build? If not, please do so. The latest is 11.1.106.

What error message do you get? What filters do you have? What does log file say?

Error:

Failed to play: "file location .m4u"
You may not have installed on your computer Direct Show Filters for decoding the type of file you are trying to play. Please install appropriate filters and try again.


Mentioned that I am using 11.1.88
Where to find 11.1.106 ?

"Houston, we have lift off!"
If you don't hear from me in the next 4-8 hours then we're 100%

Thanks
