WMA problems with SB Firmware > 59

[hczim]

Hello,

With SB versions 61 and 62, my SqueezeNetwork WMA streams won't play any more. It's starting as usual, counts up, but instead of playing, the same cycle starts over and over again. It's hard to get it out from there at all, remote response is very poor in that state.

Downgrading to 59 cures the problem, but that's not really the solution I'd like to stick with.

An example of such a stream is

mms://213.200.64.227/swrcontra$live.wma .

I wonder why this topic hasn't shown up here already. Am I the only one experiencing that problem?

Cheers,

Heike

SN is not quite compatible with the latest beta firmware versions,
and won't be until it gets updated around the time 6.5 is released
(~Sep 18). I would suggest sticking with your local 6.5 SlimServer
if you want to use a newer firmware version than the one that comes
with 6.3.1.

Thanks. I can't always use SlimServer, since my PC doesn't run
24h/7d. So I'll stick with SB firmware version 59 for now. As long
as I know a working upgrade is in the pipeline that doesn't hurt much.
