Well, thank you - but as I say it only works with either fixed (full tracks, until it stops) or chunked, with which it plays about 10 seconds and then the audio drops out. With either no length or if known everything appears to play but no audio comes out. I can use PCM/fixed and get audio but as with FLAC the ends of the files are truncated 10-15 seconds early for no apparent reason. This has to be an MM5 problem since wav/flac files play fine with this plug-in in Winamp. MM5 apparently will not recognize PCM if it isn't WAV. I don't know if helps, but looking at the MM5 logs after playback stops with the MP3/fixed setup that -does- work I see repeated "MM5 [2628](R) UPnP: Control Request: Status: STOPPED" - it literally is just as if MM5 decides not to advance to the next track, and for the life of me I can't see what's happening to make that the case. Using MP3/fixed works and works perfectly in terms of playback and the crossfades, until it randomly stops. It will often play up to two hours and then just end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ typecrazy789's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103728 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
