Greetings,
For the purpose of device compatibility, I am attempting to downsample various flac files to either 44100 Hz or 48000 Hz, via Media Center 23.0.91.
I was successful with 192000 Hz files, 176400 Hz files, and 96000 Hz files.
When I attempted to downsample 88200 Hz files, MC reported "Skipped" for every file in the queue.
Testing a hunch, while troubleshooting, I tried, again, with 192000, 176400, and 9600 Hz files, where minutes ago I had success, and sadly they, too, will no longer convert.
I rebooted my PC. That did not help.
Does MC have a bug or limitation, when it comes to converting flac files?
This link is a screen capture of my effort:

Please advise.
Thank you.

Simplistic answer:
Could it be that the files already exist in that folder and that they're being skipped because of that?
-
Good idea. Unfortunately, the directory is empty.
I also created a new directory elsewhere, and pointed the output there. Still got the same "Skipped" result.
I opened my older version (22.0.108) of MC.
That version worked -- it happily converted each tagged file's sampling rate.
Then I went back to my current version (23.0.91), using a new, empty directory. Same problem.
Then I, again, went back to my old version (22.0.108), and it worked.
What is puzzling is that 23.0.91 was doing the conversions. I did 3 sets of them. On the 4th set, it decided to throw in the towel.

update to 94 and see if that helps....just a thought
-
Has MC put the files into the "Bad" database for some reason?
-
The converter function has an option that reads:
"Skip conversion if the original and destination are the same file type"
I must have accidentally checked that option. Once unchecked, all was well.
