    Subject says it all.
    I have many files in this format, foobar plays them nicely, but I would like to use MediPortal as it is connected to an amplifier.
    Thanks

    check if the extension *.wv is added to MP setting extension screen

    Perhaps you're confusing *.wv and *.iso.wv.
    Even though, the audio is in the same WavPack format, the structures of the files are different.
    There is no problem to play *.wv files. However, as *.iso.wv is essentially a container, it has to be treated differently. You have to mount it as an *.iso image or open it as an archive and then you'll find there several files, like audio, images and some more.

    So, maybe use virtual drive, and set *.iso.wv as extension, but you must know if the software used to mount is compatible.

    Thanks, azzuro.
    I tried that. Unfortunately, the *.iso.wv extension is not the best, because only last dot is considered to be an extension separator. The bottom line is that MP threats all files with *.wv extension as audio files and it doesn't try to mount *.iso.wv as an image, even though I added this extension to the list of mountable files in MP.
    I tested vcd - manually it mounts *.iso.wv without problems (after renaming), but I can't force MP to recognize *.iso.wv as a mountable image.
    Any ideas? Like priorities for extensions?

    Please note that that I don't want to rename these files, as they are being shared.

    Do you have a sample to test ?
    No, I don't have any samples.
    The smallest file I found is about 60MB. I'm not sure if it would be any of help and I don't think I can upload it here.

    Sorry about that. Though, it still could be the shortest way...:(

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database".

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck? Preferable with as much disabled as possible also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything) maybe other programs competing for resouces?
