Library Server - Not all files will play on Client
« on: May 25, 2007, 07:13:19 am »
Dear MC Specialist,
I have enabled the Library Server on my Home PC which is running on port 81.
On my professional Laptop (Client) I have enabled access to the library by using the following Media Library: 192.168.1.3:81. The library loads extra fast and all songs /pictures from my original Library do show on the Client, but most of the files are unplayable. I notice that the songs that do not play have the following missing prefix in their filename m01p://192.168.1.3:81 (they still start with their exact pathword on the Home PC).
It doesn't seem to be related with long names.
Can you please help? Thanks

Make sure your copy of MC12 is up to date.

Are both PC's on the same network?

Try testing both client and server on one PC.

I've reinstalled MC12 on the client, it was in version 226, now 233, same as the other PC.
It uninstalled with pain (although through the Windows Settings "uninstall program" wizard.

The 2 PCs are on the same LAN, both connected to Modem/router (Home PC/Server with a fix IP 192.168.1.3, and the LAPTOP with currently 192.168.1.2).

I tried activating the "Library Server" on the Laptop (if this is what you mean) and it can run on port 80 (for the other PC, 81 was the first port available).
I loaded again on the Laptop the remote Library from 192.168.1:81, with the same result: approx 1 in 5 files only have the correct path starting with m01p etc.

Please upgrade to the latest version (240 is available now). There was a bug fixed around 234.

JimH,

Thank you for your support, it works fine with build 240. For your info, the build available from JR Mediacenter's main site Download is 233: I thought it was the most up-to-date.

They do it in this order:

Closed beta forum
Public forum
Download page

The idea is to release only the builds that are considered very stable in the download page. Generally this has worked fine, but looks like this library server bug was discovered too late this time.
