JRemote for iPad streaming error (my last attempt)
« on: April 24, 2015, 09:45:07 am »

For a few weeks, I've been asking a question in different threads and groups, until I was adviced to start a separate thread, here with my latest experiences. I'm speaking of files recorded on a PC, wireless streamed to an iPad, from the iPad via Apple Extreme to my stereo.
The problem is that I occasionally get the message "There was a streaming error" when trying to play certain (ripped) cds from JRemote.

This occurs:
- When I have ripped a CD in MC or iTunes to Apples m4a format/ALAC

It does NOT occur:
- with m4a files downloaded from iTunes
- with LPs recorded in Audacity, then converted to m4a
- with m4a files a friend of mine ripped and sent over
- and, perhaps as a clue, when JRemote settings on my iPad is set to "Transcode audio". That is, it seems to have something to do with bandwith.

To sum it up: there seems to be a problem with playing ripped CDs in ALAC/m4a. I would love a fix (or an idea) for this. Or, if there isn't one, to be able to set JRemote on my iPad to "Auto transcode", so I could keep recording in ALAC (then I would be able to listen to them in the original lossless format in iTunes).

I'm using Windows 7, all the latest versions in all links.

Please?

I'll test. Thanks for the details.
