Server Update Caused Issue with Classic

[Demati 5]

I have a pc I use as a media server (aka my HTPC).  On it I am running MB3 Server and MB3 Classic (MPC-HC is the player).  All of my media is stored on this machine.

 

In the bedroom I have another machine running MB3 Classic (no server).  I use MPC-HC for all playback.  Everything has been working flawlessly for months.  Then yesterday there was a MB3 Server update.  After this update the machine in the bedroom can not play any media at best quality or any watchable resolution.  Everything looks like legos! :-(

 

The HTPC is playing everything just fine.  Has anyone experienced anything like this? Where should I begin troubleshooting?

I'm having a similar experience.

 

Some collection items are playing OK, others appear to be being transcoded in very low quality.

That means those remote machines cannot access the media items in question.  Please post an MBC log from when you play one of these.

EDIT:

Nevermind, I figured out the problem for my setup. I had added a new location to a media folder using the local path instead of the UNC.

All fixed for me.

Maybe this will help Demati as well.

 

 

Hi ebr.

 

Thanks for that. In my case the client can access the media. I can browse to it in Windows and "play with" ehome and it plays fine (no transcoding).

 

Sorry for my ignorance but where does classic save it's logs?

 

Cheers

There's something odd going on with the forum, my post above (#4) was in a different topic and posted several days before this topic was created.
