Whitebear DLNA and Slimserver squeezebox not fully working?
« on: November 04, 2011, 01:20:19 pm »

Anybody have any suggestions for DLNA settings for whitebear?

I am able to play FLAC and some MP3's from my transporter through MC 16. However a fair number of the MP3's and all of my M4A's don't play. :(


Help PLEASE :)

You are using MC as the server and controller?
Try turning on "Always Convert" to MP3 in Options->Media Network->Add or configure DLNA servers. When you PUSH to Whitebear, the first server in MC's server list is used.

Thanks! I got it working. I removed the DLNA settings started with a "generic" DLNA then got it to work as you suggest.

Now I'm having an odd problem with the latest release of whitebear that I just installed. It's repeating the same track over and over. That may also be user error. I'll do a bit more checking on my end.

Be sure to disable repeat on the MC side; select the SB zone first.

There was a new Whitebear posted today, v2.2.1.2161.

Thanks for the info on the new version. I installed the new version, went to the SB (transporter) and then made sure all its repeat playlist etc were off and then reset it again at MC. For some reason it is now working correctly. The songs do not repeat again and again. I'm not sure which of my figurative twiddling's with the dial got it to work correctly, however it is working.

thanks
