LOVE the media server functionality. Got it running in minutes, as I've been searching for a good media server forever. Only one problem - under the media server tabs only the "unknown" .wav rips seem available. So I deleted the running media server, recreated selecting all media possible, and still, only "unknown" is available. No playlists, no photos, nothing but what sits in an "unknown" folder when accessing the entire library. Normal stuff (albums, artists, genres) appears and plays fine using normal MM functions, but won't media share.
The "unknown" entries that are available for media sharing are all .wav files, and have not been tagged with freedb data. Other flacs in the "unknown" folder do not show up as media shared and were not transcoded to enable media sharing. Other .wav files in the normal collection (with freedb data) did not get transcoded / added to the media share tab. I've rebuilt the database, scanned for new additions/changes, and have now run out of ideas.
So, to sum up the only items transcoded / available for the media server sharing are 'unknown' .WAV files without any tagging, and only in the "unknown' MM space.
How do I get all my audio into the Media sharing tab? Mostly flacs, but I have enabled the format in the media sharing options. Also set the min/max bitrate to 1/10000000. But as stated, it is not seeing other .wav files, just those with unknown everything, name, track title, etc etc, untagged by freedb.
Which is OK, but I can't listen to The Clash Sandanista and Coltrane's Blue train forever and ever, as those are the 2 albums ripped to 'unknown'.
