So, a long time ago, I posted this:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=67990.msg457298#msg457298Basically, I could listen to music on the Library Client, but WTV files would not play. Glynor solved my problem (in the above post) by explaining that if I set the path on my files on the Library Server correctly (as //Server paths), the Library Client could be smarter and play the files correctly. Basically, if it could transcode the file (music), it was fine, but if it couldn't (.WTV), it needed the direct path to the file on the network so it could work without transcoding.
Well, I've since tried to convert to JTV recordings, which I thought MC Library Server knew how to transcode. And yet, I'm having the exact same problem with them. This, coupled with the fact that my MC Library Server always makes the path for new files "E:\Recorded TV\..." instead of "\\Server\Recorded TV" (even though I have all \\Server paths in Auto Import settings) makes this a royal pain.
I'm further confused by the fact that Gizmo on my Android phone can magically play both JTV and WTV files with no problem (see
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=70111.msg472792#msg472792).
Anyway, I'm ditching the idea of having my HTCP be a Library Client and I will just have it maintain its own library. There are just too many problems right now (especially
