Taylor Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Has anyone successfully got their media to PLAY (not just show up) via the network storage drive function? I can get it to display on my on screen display, but can't for the life of me get it to output audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlevine Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I know this sounds terrible but we don't even bother with the C4 Media Section of the system yet. It is way to unreliable as well as slow. We use a PC or Mac tied into the Plasma with Wireless Keyboard & Mouse and make a full Media System.It works awesome.

Taylor Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 While that's not a bad idea, unfortunately I am stuck with using the system as is. Any ideas why it's doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlevine Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 What are the MP3 files located on? A computer, Nas, Domain Controller? I would definately check the permissions on the file, although if it can browse it would be odd for it not to read, but you never know.Is it the latest version of firmware on the MC or HTC?

Taylor Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Latest version. It is an external Hard Drive via Network. ALL the paths to the Hard Drive are shared. I also have a file shared directly from my computer. Neither work, though both media show up. I called C4 today and they told me to restart my HTC. No good.

chambrick Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 ...and the files are .mp3 under 300K bit rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Yes, 192kbps i believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 I think I found what the problem was. I had a similar problem JUST happen to me on a Media Controller. Not through the network or anything. I found something that I did and realized that was probably the problem. Seems like C4 should do something.Here are the screenshots of what I did (sorry about the widescreen)(Here is the URL if you can't see it well on this forum)That is the way it SHOULD look. DO NOT DO IT THIS WAY(Here is the URL if you can't see it well on this forum)It appears that if you connect BOTH those in the program, it messes the whole system up. I don't know if maybe I'm just an idiot and that is obvious, but I had assumed that something got disconnected in the programming. I'm going to try this at my house (with the HTC) and see if that solves my HTC network drive problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Wired Up! Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I can't read it here or the linked image... I would love to see this as I have my first networked storage job coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 I just checked the link. It opened it up fine for me, but I had to select Zoom to see it 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Minor Update: When I took that screenshot it messed me up again! I had to remove the digital media and re-add it with another Media Controller (I just deleted the new MC out of composer) and then re-connect it through the real MC. So, don't even play with it because it will BREAK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Wired Up! Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Yep, expanded it by click on the pop-up 4 arrow thingy at the bottom right and it looked fine. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlevine Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Sweet...Taylor, we're going to add the ability to put images in posts. That was a great idea plus you won't have to upload it to your own server.Nice find... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Great. I have been wanting to put up image walkthrough do's and don'ts for a while now, so any support you can give I'll use. Just get more people to do it, because I can understand things better visually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlevine Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 We'll get on it, hopefully be up by tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 UPDATEGot home, made sure that connection was not there (as shown above) and BOOM. Fixed. Works great. This is awesome. Really, I don't even need to rip music onto the MC anymore if there are any computers hooked up to the system. WELL DONE C4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I'm not sure what you had done wrong? Was the problem generated by having both digital audio servers connected to the media controller?I n the pics, the Audio Media Storage had no bindings...I thought the network storage would come from this?

Taylor Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 The problem was that I had TWO of them connected, and not just one. Somehow it was confusing it. Just leave it connected with the default one (as shown in the first picture) and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chambrick Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Yes, that led to a few hours of troubleshooting on our first big job back in October. It was crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
