.m4a will not play from a DLNA source

<< < (2/5) > >>

lobo85:
I tried again and now almost all of the m4a files work except for some that JRiver says are not there even though they play on iTunes I will try rencoding these and see if that helps.

Hi John...

I am not running off a NAS, but an external Firewire drive. I have noticed that there seems to be something blocking the transmission to my MacBook Pro. It may likely be Norton 360 running off my iMac. I uninstalled Norton from my MacBook Pro but the issue persists. Let me see if disabling everything Norton on my iMac does the trick. If not, perhaps my router is doing it.

I can play any type of file except M4A/AAC.

Will reply back with the results of the tests.

Hi all....

I was half asleep when I modified something in the MacBook Pro's Media Center and then I could play M4A/AAC files on it from my iMac's library. I'm not sure what it was, but it may have had something to do with synching. I remember unchecking the "Sync with server" option but I don't recall if that did anything because when I went back to verify the solution, it was checked.

In any case, I can now play all music files from my iMac's DNLA source to my MacBook Pro. Hurray!

I have rencoded some of the m4a ALAC files that would not import to FLAC and now they import it would be nice however if 100% of my current ALAC audio files would import into Media Center, I have noticed that just about all of these are between 24/88 and 24/192 resolution. The 16 bit files are definitely not being missed.

Maeghaus:
As a recent convert from iTunes, most of my files are either 16 or 24-bit, so I did not know that the high-resolution AACs aren't playing. WHen your lower resolution AAC files began working in the DNLA, what did you do to make them work? I could not 100% verify my solution as it was unexpected and I did not accurately remember what I did to make them work,
