New Install MMW5 - Error Message - Cannot Decode mp3

[kmanzonie]

Upgrading from MMW4. Library scanned into MMW5 showing all files.

However, when i go to play music receive error message below on every file:

Playback failed.... cannot decode .mp3

Any suggestions on what I am doing incorrectly?

[Lowlander]

Can you play the same files using Folders in the Media Tree instead?

Can you describe how the files are stored and if Path is correct in MediaMonkey when it fails?

[kmanzonie]

Unable to play from folders in media tree.

File path is correct - F:\Music\
WD 6TB external hard drive

If you haven't yet, can you please update to build 2410: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... 86639&sd=d

Let us know if it still fails.

[kmanzonie]

Works great. Thank you.

Hi,
I have just installed MMW5, as a new user, so am also new here...
So I am running version 5.0.5.2695

I have all of my MP3 music saved locally on my laptop and am trying to play it via my Denon DRA-800H
MMW5 seems to find my Denon system without issue, and when I select any of my 20 odd thousand tracks at random I see a buffering message, then I get the error

Playback failed: Denon DRA-800H (DLNA/UPnP) cannot decode
D:\Users\Solut\Music\David Gray\1998 - White Ladder\David Gray - White Ladder -10 - Say Hello Wave Goodbye.mp3.

For instance...

In order to replicate this error I have clicked play again and I can hear my DRA-850 start up and connect, so everything appears to work up to the point of the error

[Lowlander]

Please try again with the latest MediaMonkey 2024 release.

Thanks Lowlander,

I don't know if it was the latest version or the setting up of the firewall, which this version highlighted, which did the trick, but it works now...
