Hi there. Ever since doing a clean install from XP SP2 to 32-bit Vista a few weeks ago, I'm having major problems playing m4a files (95% of my library), but no problems playing mp3 files. The m4a files either never play or take 10 to 15 seconds to start playing after starting. On XP, I never had even the slightest problem ever with Slimserver. I'm having the identical problems now, be it SS 6.3.1, 6.5.1 or 6.5.2. I've also installed the lastest socketwrapper per some threads I've seen here. I've even tried to run all SS-related exe files in "XP Compatability mode", but no luck. I've also completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime, and I've completely rescanned my library - all to no avail.
I'm pasting in info re my debugging efforts: one for a mp3 file that played successfully and one for a m4a file that did not play. Unfortunately, I'm not sure which debug codes will show the best information, but I've given it a good shot. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could look at the debugging info to see if you can figure out the issue! Thanks.
