[QUOTE="Kybla, post: 215655, member: 60831"] Hi, I'm trying to built myself wireless music streaming computer using some old HW I found in the basement :). It's AMD Duron 650MHz, which should be quite sufficient for just playing music. My idea is to have keyboard- and mouseless (even partly headless) quiet PC with MediaPortal controlled by the remote and showing info on external LCD display. All went well, I made it quiet, remote works etc., all things work extraordinarily, except playing FLAC. What I did? I installed fresh Win XP, did all the updates including .NET Framework 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 and WMP 11, made some optimalisations (switched off XP visual effects etc.), installed Media Portal 0.2.3.0, made basic requested settings. I can play everything Bass supports, except FLAC - when I try to play FLAC file, it just won't start and it writes an exception to the log (see attached logs). It seems that bassflac.dll just crashes. Now the question is: what are basic requirements for bassflac to work? On my desktop PC with Athlon X2 FLAC is working (bassflac is not crashing), but it's not fresh XP installation there. Can it be something I have installed on my desktop and did not install on the streaming computer? (To say it all, I tried it three times, at first with some Celeron 433MHz and nLite-stripped XP install, and when I found out that FLAC is not working, I thought it's nLite issue; then I tried full XP install, but with no avail, so I thought it could be processor issue, so I tried other motherboard with other processor, still no avail). Or does bassflac need SSE to decode FLAC (unlikely - I tried XM Player (player from Bass makers) and it plays FLAC on the same machine under same conditions perfectly - but still?)? It should not be computing power issue, because APE is playing without any problems, and APE needs more computing power. I also tried newest SVN version, but still the same. Can somebody help me, please? Yes, I can convert all my FLACs to APEs or some other lossless format, but it's about the principle - there's just ONE small issue on otherwise perfectly working solution :). Thanks a lot for reading it and even more for any suggestions :D And thanks a lot for MediaPortal!
