Hi,

I have all my music stored locally on my HTPC.

ampdroid remote is connected succesfully, I can use the remote functionality to move up/down etc

I can stream both music and videos to my phone without issue.

I havent tested recently (will test again tonight) but I could select a film or tv show from ampdroid and play it in mediaportal on my tv.

However if I try to do the same for music, mediaportal throws an error back, cannot play XXX.flac. However if I select exactly the same track in mediaportal it plays perfectly fine.

I am wanting to use ampdroid as a remote for mediaportal, so that I can listen to music without having to turn my TV on, however without this feature that is impossible.

Is this a known bug, or something anyone else has come accross?

Thanks in advance

    I can't reproduce this...

    I need a couple more infos:
    a) Are you using the database or share view
    b) Please post logs from android, MPExtended and MediaPortal

    If you're using the database view, it can be useful to post your database as well (you can send it to me in private if you want).

    I wasnt even aware I could change the view type, I will look into that when I get home tonight :) However after reading up on them I believe I use share view.

    If I get chance I will put together some log dumps tonight and export my database.

    Thanks guys

    EDIT: sorry I havent had chance to grab any logs etc yet. Life is kinda overruling at the moment

    I got an update to ampdroid last week at some point and when I went to recreate this problem over the weekend it all worked perfectly smoothly :) so I dont know if the update fixed my bug or if something else has changed, but thank you for the help guys :)

    Cheers
