Meet me in London not playing

Posted by: MacFever on 06 May 2012

Just downloaded the 24/192 edition and my Superunity hangs :

"connecting please wait"

While in itunes on my Mac it plays fine ...

Anyone has a solution ?

Are you using wifi? You may not have sufficient bandwidth at 192. I had this problem,and switched it to a USB stick, which works fine (as wifi does up to 96 for me).

No, I use it on a megabit ethernet network

I have put it on an usb drive and again no go :

The songs are there but after a short "loading" nothing happens

Any ideas ?

If I put the original flac file on the usb stick it works !

Once converted to Apple Lossless it wont play ...

Funny thing is that with other flac files (not from the Meet me in London) everything works : flac to m4a and playback with itunes !

What are you using to convert from flac to Alac ?

I had the same problem with 24/192 files that would not play thru my network. It was the home plugs that I used to transmit from the NAS up stairs and the NDX in the living room. I moved the NAS next to the NDX and all files play fine. 

 

Are you using home plugs or connecting fully wired ?

Everything on wired cat 6 cables through the router

Network is not the problem because usb is not playing either

When converting the alac file back to flac it works !

I use the same program to convert 16/44,1 flac to alac and it also works !

What is the program ? I had trouble with hi-res Linn and Naim files converted using MAX. They would play on my Linn DS but not on my NDX. Converting the same files using XLD they worked fine.  Try converting to AIFF instead of ALAC if you haven't done so already.

In fact I used both Max and Xld and had the same result

Will try Aiff this evening

Aiff is working, no problems

Anyone knows why alac is not playing ?

From specs.:

 

WAV and AIFF (up to 32bit/192kHz) FLAC (up to 24bit/192kHz) ALAC (up to 24bit/96kHz) WMA (up to 16bit/48kHz) must be WMA 9.2 Ogg Vorbis (up to 16bit/48kHz) MP3 and M4a (up to 320kbit/s)

Thanks Joppe, I should have read the user manual for once ...
