.m4a will not play from a DLNA source

(1/5) > >>

lobo85:
I am using a Lacie 2Big 2 NAS server to hold my 2tb worth of music which is all apple lossless the albums will load and you can see them from the NAS library on jriver but when I attempt to play a file it says there is an error mp3 files will play fine however, aac files also will not play as they also m4a's

Maeghaus:
I have the same issue too playing over the network on Mac to Mac, but Mac to PC works fine. The issue I am experiencing in addition to yours is that the MP3 files always start about :30 seconds into the selected track. I have no solution at the moment but am testing each Alpha series as they are released. If I get it solved I'll post it here on this forum.  -- Tom


* Mac OS X 10.7.5 Lion, Intel Core Duo 2.4GHz (late 2007), MacBook Pro 2.8GHz (also with Lion), and music files on an external Firewire drive (not as NAS).

* Currently running MC18 Mac Alpha 177.

JohnT:
Try the 178 build, there was a fix for this sort of problem.

Maeghaus:
Here's an update: build 178 enables MP3 files to play in entirety, but I'm still having issues where M4A/AAC files will not play at all. I've tried a lot of variations to get the network to allow access to the files, but always end up with the message "Something went wrong with playback". I'm thinking it might have something to do with either permissions or the way a system firewall might perceive it as a threat.

Good job on fixing most of the network playback Mac to Mac issues! Now to get the AAC files working...

Can you describe how you're using the Lacie NAS drive from Media Center on Mac?  I tested loading a library from a network DLNA server and was able to play m4a files ok.
