If it doesn't match, you need to change it in the SB2 to match its label, or all sorts of odd things can happen... Sorry for the lag in responding; I got wrapped up in two Work Days From Hell[tm] and just got back to this. 1) No mp3 files played 2) It wasn't a clean install at first. I followed up with a 7.3.4 nightly that was a completely clean install 3) I had that same thought and dove through convert.conf and saw nothing out of the ordinary. No joy there. However, 3 cheers for you Phil. That *is* an odd value, and, no it doesn't match [and it makes me wonder when the old setting got blown away]. THAT fixed it! [Now, as to why a mismatched MAC address would blow up mp3 decoding but apparently not anything else is beyond me] Once I finish kicking myself for not noticing something like that, I'll sing your praises a little more.

[slim] SB2 SC7.3.3--MP3 looks like it's working but it's silent.
Ok, I recently upgraded to 7.3.3 from 7.2.x? [I don't recall which version now] and have lost some critical functionality: the ability to play MP3 files [or streams for that matter]. When I try to play an MP3 file, the player goes through the motions and reads the file. The logs indicate that the player is, indeed, playing. HOwever, no sound comes out and the file doesn't actually play (timer is stuck at the start of the file--you can fast-forward to any point and it does the same thing...sticks at whatever point you forward to. Now playing indicates it's playing). LAME is installed [my first thought] but that changes nothing. If I disable native MP3 decoding in the player, it fails. Any clues on what I can do to fix this short of recoding 6,000 episodes of old radio shows? SB2 with SC 7.3.3 on Windows XP SP3... -- Dogmatix Dogmatix's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=686 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64776 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
