Trying out this player and liking a lot of the features. One that I've been banging my head up against is this: drag/drop an ISO of an SACD in, it shows up all tracks nicely. Go to play any of them and I get the attached error, which is the same message I would get if I tried to open the ISO in the Finder. Any ideas?

Looks like Finder/Mac, not Media Center is trying to open the .ISO file, which is odd.

I'm not sure that MC for Mac supports drag and drop for playback. MC is primarily a Library based player, so it likes everything to be imported. Import your file and try again; it should work fine with the SACD ISO imported.

Import or drag/drop, neither works. Both result in this error when trying to play any track from ISO.
-
Hmm. Hard to say what's going on. I would remove the SACD from the library and try to import it again.
Are you relatively sure this ISO you are testing with is good? I'm actually not even sure how to check one myself...
I recall that some ISOs require Data support to be enabled, but I'm not sure if that's relevant to SACD ISOs or not. I just tried turning it OFF, and MC can still play SACD ISOs on my system so that's probably not it.
Maybe someone else will have something smart to say about this.

This ISO definitely works. I ripped it recently, and can play with no issues on A+. I've tried dumping it and reimporting it, and each time, I get this error on play. All metadata from the ISO looks good, all tracks show up as they should. Headscratcher…

What's the "Media Type" field set to for the file?
It looks like we're playing it as a data file instead of an audio file, which is obviously wrong.
-
Not sure - will check when I'm back in front of it…

Also might be worth giving the 22.0.22 build that was posted today a try. :)

Just did. Still no dice.

Media Type says Audio. File Type says ISO.
Just imported another disc (Pet Sounds Stereo MFSL SACD ISO). Same story.
I took a quick screencap so you can see what it looks like.

I've just replicated your problem. The file type should be SACD, not ISO. When I manually set the songs of an SACD ISO to use file type of ISO, I got your exact same failure.
After I changed them all back to SACD, they play fine again. Highlight all the tracks on one of those ISOs, and change the file type to SACD. That should fix it. Let us know how you do.

Sort of. I do not get an option in the drop-down to change to SACD. The only way I can change this is to highlight all tracks and Edit Tags. Then go to File Type and type in "SACD". This results in an error on playback on every track: (image attached)
Then if I change to "sacd" instead, I can get some playback on the first track of the ISO only. It plays out at 24/192 PCM unless I turn on Bitstreaming for DSD and then I get DSD64. But any other track I try to play from the ISO stops MC playback altogether.

OK - brought one of these ISOs with me to work and decided to install MC on my work Mac. It's running an older OS (10.9.5) so that would be the only real difference. It imports and works as expected. What the heck. When I get home tonight I'm gonna scrub MC and start again fresh.

Good luck!

Cleaned it out and started from scratch, and the ISOs still wouldn't play! So frustrating. I even did a line by line compare of the settings files between the work system and the home system, and got them identical (except for the system ID info). Still no dice. Tried so many things, couldn't make it work - then I had a thought that the library is maybe getting stuck somehow, so I moved the ISOs to a new directory. They then imported and showed duplicate entries, now all labeled as sacd instead of ISO. And they play! I put them back in the folders where I had them, and they still work. So frustrating, but happy resolution. Imported a new ISO and it shows as sacd, all good. Now on with the rest of my life… Thanks all!
