Problem with playing a playlist

[karbonade 1]

Hi,

I run Emby (4.6.4.0) on a Synology NAS (7.1) and so far it is doing fine. But now I run into a problem with playing a self made music playlist. To make a new playlist I selected the folder with the tracks and selected "add to playlist". I gave the playlist a name (Kerst, see attachment). When ik click on Play at the playlist, only the first track is played. In the playlist itself I see all the tracks and I can start them one by one. The play list is made of the content of a complete folder and has tracks from various albums/artist (134 Christmas tracks). When I play other folders, the content is played without a problem but in these folders there is only one album per folder.

Am I doing somthing wrong?

Hi, what Emby app are you trying to play with? 

[karbonade 1]

The Sonos app (1.0.10.0). The app should send it to my Sonos.

That works for other folders that I play.

If I play the Kerst-playlist without using the Sonos app, I see it plays at least more that one track.

Hi, what do you mean by it works for other folders? Can you please give an example? Thanks.

OK. I have a lot of folders who are named as the artist of the album. These folders have sub folders that contain albums. When I play these albums and play them with the Sonos app all goes well. Al songs are played sequential as it should.

Now I made a folder called Kerst and I put 134 tracks in it. The tracks I've collected over a long period and they don't come from one specific album or so. They are downloads from internet collected over a long period of time. When I try to play that with the Sonos app, only the first track from this folder is played and then it stops playing. I've made a playlist but that gives the same problem.

I hope I made it clear now. If not, please let me know.

So far, thank you for your patience.

I foud out what the problem is. In the folder there are mp3 tracks and flac tracks. It are the flac tracks that make the transfer of the playlist stop after the first file has been transferred to the playlist on the Sonos. It apears that the second track is a flac track.

When I remove all the flac tracks from the folder the playlist plays all the mp3 files as it should be.

Leaves me with another question: is it not possible to play flac tracks? Or shoud these track be converted or so? I hope I can play them because I've got a lot of flac tracks

The bit depth of the tracks is 16 bit and Sonos (version 1) should be able to play that. The frequency is 44.100 Hz. Is there a problem for Emby?

There's no problem for Emby, but does the Sonos support that?

[karbonade 1]

Some of the track can be played and some not although they have the same frequency. But for now this is no problem. I convert it all to mp3.

Thanks for the support to all of you.
