Playback Error - Direct show Filters?
« on: June 12, 2013, 08:49:57 pm »

I recently migrated my collection from one hard drive to another. In some completely random cases, I get the following message upon playback:

"Failed to play [file]. You may not have installed on your computer DirectShow filters for decoding the type of file you are trying to play. Please install appropriate filters and try again." These files are all in .WAV

JRiver is not having any trouble locating these files in windows explorer, it just won't play them. When I encounter this error, it exists for the entire album.

I do not encounter this error when playing the same tracks from the original hard drive.

In Tools/Options/Settings/Filetypes, find WAV and select "automatic".  It might work.
