I tried playing a wma lossless 24 bit download (no DRM) from MusicGiants through my Soundbridge (vintage M1000). It worked but info indicates same PCM bitrate as usual transcoded wma lossless (14XX kb/s). Does the Roku request 16 bit resolution from the WMP server? Is there any way to play full 24 b...

I have to agree with KlassV: " You undertake considerable efforts to bring back 3 or 4 BBC stations, that's nice. But what about all the people begging you on their knees for many months now to support Real Audio, OGG and FLAC? What about the problems with AACplus and WMA? What about HTTP strea...

I think there's a whole group of users out there who have pretty much given up on the wma lossless upgrade. That would be very nice.

Oliver, Thanks for this!! I am back in business! I made the change you suggested. MediaController and synchronization function are working flawlessly once again. I confess my main interest in the MediaController is to synchronize my M1000 and M500. For this purpose my experience has been that it doe...

Does anyone use Cidero to control or sync their Soundbridge(s)?
If so, have you had success using it with wmp 11? After upgrading to wmp 11, I can't get Cidero to work.

Just read the review. Author said that he downloaded wma lossless DRM files and played them on the M1001. Have I missed an update along the way? I didn't think I could play wma lossless DRM files because of the transcoding issue with lossless?

Re: my separate post WMP 11 and Cidero. Although my SBs worked fine after upgrading to WMP 11, my Cidero setup no longer works. The app discovers wmp 11 server and SB devices, but when I play (lossless) content it doesn't work. I later discovered it works ok for compressed wma, but not lossless. Any...

I posted the attached in the SB Control & Integration thread but no responses. Can anyone help? I have since determined that Cidero seems to work with wmp11 and wma files, but not wma lossless files. Again, I never had any of these problems with wmc 2.0, only when I moved to wmp11. And, I have n...

Anyone have problems using Cidero MediaController after upgrading to WMP 11? Soundbridge with WMP 11 worked fine but Cidero no longer works. I use it primarily for syncing up 2 SBs. The devices are discovered OK but when I try to play, even single device, nothing happens. Also, any better ways of sy...

Is this possibly the longest running unfulfilled request? If you took the wma lossless route for your files, isn't this the biggest missing part of a great solution? You could download and play files from MusicGiants etc. (revisited again) AND if you do anything with wireless, life would be simpler ...

Greg,

Thanks. Switching the polarity on the pwr supply plug seems to have worked. I'll monitor further, but after switching it around, I could not reproduce what had otherwise become a regular problem.

I still have reboot problems with my M1000/M500. I responded to the Roku inquiry in June during the 2.5 beta spontaneous reboot question. With the release of 2.5 however, reboot problems continue. Here's what I know: - only happens in a certain configuration which is either M500 or M1000 (I validate...

re: wmcneil: I am running 2.5.150, and cidero 1.4 is working ok for me.....It takes a few minutes for it to "find" the WMC server (running on same machine as Cidero), but this behavior has been there for some time. Thanks! It appears I had some problems with the Java runtime environment. I...

Posted: Tue May 02, 2006 3:21 am Post subject: Cidero Problems -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I should post on the contollers forum, but I have been enjoying syncing my 1000 and 500 in recent weeks using Cidero controller and proxy. It has always wor...

Thanks for the ideas. I tried a setup similar to what you suggested -- I like the double firewall concept. Unfortunately it didn't work, even with port forwarding. From investigation on this forum and elsewhere, it seems wmc will not work with devices on a different subnet. I thought port forwarding...
