7.4 26506 Not playing certain ALAC files.

[sxr71]

I've noticed that SC 7.4 26506 fails to play certain ALAC files. It plays some of them but with others it just shows the counter go to 1, 2 and 3 and then goes back to 0. I don't hear any music at all.


I just wanted to report this here to see if anyone else is having problems. I know previous versions have played the same songs that this version is not playing.

I run SC using SVN on WHS, I do not use the WHS version but rather the Perl version and I only download the "server" path and not the whole "Trunk" path.



EDIT: Also the logfile says nothing about it either.


EDIT2: When in debug mode I got the following:

What happens if you try running the transcoding command by hand:

"R:\SqueezeCenter\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\alac.exe" -r "D:\shares\Music\Music\Seenu\DAVEMA~2\THEGOR~1\GRA CEI~1.M4A" > tmp.pcm

Also, it is strange that it is using alc->pcm rather than alc->flc transcoding. Have you disable the latter?

Yes I disabled the latter but I enabled it in an attempt to get the file to play but it didn't make a difference. I will try to run it in a command prompt and report back to you.


EDIT: It simply says: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
