Title: M4a files still not playing on client MC18 V211
Post by: terrym@tassie on July 31, 2013, 09:37:48 pm

Just reporting that the problem with playing .m4a files from a MC18 server to a MC18 client is still there in Build 211.
 
The workaround is to change the playback method on the client from "automatic" to "JRiver audio engine (using DirectShow filter) under Options:File Types

Thanks to dtex for coming up with the workaround in this post here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=82166.0 (MC18 V209 m4a playback problem)

Just to clarify the m4a files I have are not copy protected and are served directly from local storage on my MC18 server. m4a files play normally if they are local. I don't use DLNA.
