Good ideas, thanks I'll give those a go. I think ModelCitizen might also have a point in this being an issue with ASX rather than WMA directly, although its odd that the WMA stream does actually play even for a few seconds. On the proxying, SC is already set to be a stream proxy. I could try changing it to Direct! I'll try forcing encoding to MP3 as well, as you suggest. As I say, its hard to be certain whats going on, because the problem is so transient - I could get it working by transcoding to MP3, but it doesn't mean the problem is solved. If I could get this problem to occur consistently, that would be a start. -- chris.mason ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chris.mason's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3323 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60988 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
