[gmediaserver-devel] Some problems with gmediaserver 0.90 and SMC-WAA client

[Rainer Krienke]

Hello,

I recently installed gmediaserver 0.90 on my suse linux 10.0 system. My UPNP 
client is a SMC-WAA audio device. Basically it does work great with the 
gmediaserver. However there are some strange effects I cannot explain. 

The first thing is that I have defined several playlists in my mp3-folders. In 
the SMC Client I see these playlists and can start playing them. The problem 
is that if I select to play a playlist in a random fashion on the SMC client 
it plays quite often the very same songs and all songs played are perhaps 
only in the first 10-20 songs of the whole playlist. The remaining songs are 
never played. 

I tried the same with the twonkyvision media server, where this effect does 
not happen, so it seems to be something the gmediaserver does or does not do.

A second effect is that navigation in the folder hierarchy does not work good 
if the SMC client *is already playing* a song. If I try to go a folder up or 
scroll down to another song it takes quite a long time and very ofter I 
suddenly find myself in the root folder (showing the UPNP servers name).  
Again I tested the same using the twonkyvision server and now the SMC client 
does not show any problems navigating through the folders. 

Does anyone else have similar problems? Doews anyone know how to solve them?

Thanks
Rainer
