Greetings,
I am finally getting my act together for playing my 5.1 music collection.
I have a lovely little mini-pc runs windows 8.1 and MC22 very reliably.
However, it's not really going to have a screen (not one I want to keep referring to to choose music).
It's intended as a headless 5.1 music source into my Yamaha 5.1 amp).
So Gizmo seems a great idea (or the web browser version of Gizmo).
Unfortunately, it seems very unpredictable & maybe it will play that track & maybe it won't.
I have many source files (ISO, DVD, wav, flac, etc) but they're all pretty hit & miss.
Choosing a piece of music in the Android Gizmo selects OK, and shows in the "now playing" with the total time in the bar, but might not start.
Once stared, pause/play very quick response.
Sometimes pause/play will make it start.
Sometimes I can shove the timer bar & it will continue from there, but it's not ideal.
I haven't got the web gizmo to start at all, loads but no sound, and can't budge the timer bar.
Is this because I'm using MC22 and Gizmo has been developed further, or is it just how things are?
Or are there any debug methods?
A very plausible "yes that's 100% reliable in MC27" would convince me to part with $20, but only if it's convincing!
Thanks in advance

It's free to try, so just give it a shake.

Although very inconvenient, I watched the screen of the target MC22 machine to see what it was doing with the remote commands...not a permanent solution, but do-able for debugging I guess!
When choosing some tracks the display says "buffering" and then deos nothing.
(Other tracks do similar things & don't play).
Other tracks work fine...from exactly the same source server!
I'm going to ask this in a different part of the forum.
