Jamcast

Hi Scott,

Fuppes has a problem with relative playlists e.g

two .m3u playlist files created under WMP

File 1.m3u
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:290,Grateful Dead - Good Lovin'
01 Good Lovin'.flac

plays as the file is in the same directory as the flac file, whilst

File 2.m3u

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,01 Suite- Judy Blue Eyes.flac
\\Server\Music\Crosby, Stills & Nash\Crosby, Stills & Nash\01 Suite- Judy Blue Eyes.flac

will not play as it cannot resolve the location correctly. Jamcast works fine with either playlist.

First impression? It took about five minutes to get it up and running (win 7, soundbridge, and pandora). Worked perfectly right out of the box (ether?).

Thanks.

This is an absolutely brilliant UPnP server - easy to set up - worked out of the box on my internet radios!!!!

Hi robdam1001,

Thread bumping is OK in this situation.

Seriously, I appreciate the kind words and I'm very happy to hear that Jamcast is working out for you. Stop by any time if you need anything.

Thanks!

Hi

Came across this from the roku forums as i was having problems with playlists.. gave it a go and WOW.. nice piece of software which works without problems to my two (wireless/wired)Soundbridges... it also sorted my playlist problem as well.. as it supports m3u ... also liked the virtual sound card idea which i've still to try...

Installed onto my WHS and pointed to the itunes music share of just under 9k songs and it just worked...

Also tried on my win 7 laptop with a mapped drive to the itunes share and after changing the jam service account login it works great... i like the idea of puhing out what is playing on the laptop to the soundbriges...

Well Done Scott !!!

Thanks utopian! Very happy to hear things are working well for you.

Enjoy!

Dear Scott:

Jamcast rocks... solved pretty much every problem I'd had using Soundbridge with three different computers, all configured and used differently. After using many Beta versions, I just gladly pony'd up the $$ for registration. Many thanks for the excellent product and support. What a rarity!

Best,

Patrick

For the user who was having choppy streaming to the Xbox 360: I played around with all the settings, in particular the buffer, but it didn't help. Finally I went into devices, right clicked the 360, and went into properties. By reducing the maximum bitrate and sample rate incrementally I was able to find the highest rates possible while ensuring smooth playback. I can't personally hear the difference.

I think it would be helpful if there was a simpler gui tool to troubleshoot this and similar problems. Flawless and simple console support is how programs like this hit the mainstream.

Thanks HoTDuCK25!

Video is likely down the line; the upcoming 1.7 release of Jamcast Server even gets us a few steps closer. But there is still more fun to be had with audio!

Enjoy!
