Re: [slim] Can't play WMA after upgrade to 6.5.1
I do in fact have a Cingular modem that I use on this computer. The software it ships with is a piece of crap, and if bmnet.dll is in fact from the Cingular Connection Manager, that's just one more strike against it. Thanks, and glad that my problems have been of some help :) bpa;199884 Wrote: > Colin_young, > > Thanks for the log - this help pin down this socketwrapper problem. > > The source of the problem is a file called bmnet.dll.

Re: [slim] Can't play WMA after upgrade to 6.5.1
Blue_max, I want to get a new version of socketwrapper into the standard distribution but we need to be sure that it handles the problem cases. If you are using Windows XP sp2, can you do the following command in a command window - it should do a dump of the network stuff installed into a file called netshlog.txt. netsh winsock show catalog >netshlog.txt After doing the command, if the file has lines of texts can you attach the file to a post(zip it if necessary). This should help get eliminate this socketwrapper problem. Separately - if you transcode files to Flac you will lose no quality of the original source. If you transcode into another lossy format such as MP3, you will lose quality from the original. Where possible slimserver will try to transcode to flac first - it will use MP3 if there is bit rate limit in place or Flac encoding is disabled. Technically all lossless format are equal. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31945 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can't play WMA after upgrade to 6.5.1
I have many CDs ripped in WMA Loseless format and was not able to play with Slimserver. Unchecking 'Windows Media Windows Media (built-in)' plus reboot did not work. Then downloaded the older version of the socketwrapper.exe from http://homepage.eircom.net/~altondsl/slim/socketwrapper_0.12_20060220.zip Unzipped it and replaced the existing socketwrapper.exe in C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread Problem solved! :-) Many thanks, SteveEast and 'bpa' Now couple of questions! Which format is best for 'audiophile' sound quality? FLAC, WMA Loseless or something else out there? How does players such as foobar2000, Winamp and WMP compare with Slimserver/Softsqueeze in terms of sound qulaity?

Re: [slim] Can't play WMA after upgrade to 6.5.1
Windows firewall was on, now it's off, same results (restarted softsqueeze and rebooted also). When I get some spare time I'm going to try to move the wma file to a local directory (it's currently on a network share) to eliminate any issues there (although mp3 files on the network drive have no issues). Depending on the results of that little experiment, I'll try the socketwrapper also. I know there are network issues with my computer on occasion, thanks to the now removed McAfee and Cingular's cellular modem driver, so I may just have to move the server back onto a desktop computer to eliminate that issue also. I'll report any results back to this thread just in case anyone else is watching it. -- colin_young colin_young's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6481 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31945 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can't play WMA after upgrade to 6.5.1
For completeness, it would be interesting to see of replacing socketwrapper by this version http://homepage.eircom.net/~altondsl/slim/socketwrapper_0.12_20060220.zip fixes the problem. From your system description it shouldn't but it helped a few other users in a similar situations. My present pet theory for these users is spyware and/or spyware removal messing up network setup. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31945 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
