Title: Podcasts Not Playing After Download
Post by: MGD_King on June 18, 2008, 09:26:39 pm

Wasn't sure to put this here or in the .515 thread. I actually noticed this happening in .510, so I'm not sure what the problem is, but here's the explanation:

After downloading video podcasts and attempting to play it, I get "Media Center encountered errors while trying to play the last several files. Please make sure that the path in your media library points to the right location." Which it does according to "Locate > On Disk (In Media Center)". There's a series of about 5 or 6 that this happens to, and downloaded podcasts before them and after them play fine. The downloaded file types are of the m4v variety.

Same problem happens on another machine with the same build. I'm suspecting the files are incorrectly named after using the default naming convention of podcasts.

John, have you come up with anything? It's still happening in .518, even with the most recent downloaded file.
