It can handle normal Flac and MP3.

Hello Gendji, what did you do to play flac and mp3 on your Samsung TV?  I can see the Musicbee Library in the Samsung Link but Samsung Media Play does not play them.

Hi, MB can send files to the Samsung TV (using TV as player in MB) for which i had to make changes in my firewall, but i still haven't figured out how to let the TV use MB. It sees the music, playlists etc. but nothing happens when i try to use them.

The changes in the firewall where making an exception for MB, but also for the port used by the plugin.

Got the "sending files to" part working on the TV. Turned out that adding MB to the firewall wasn't enough, i also had to add the port it uses. But it works now

The only thing not working (yet) is the TV reading from MB. I can see MB Library as a source. It starts up but stops stating that there is no media found.

Btw i read in this topic http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=800.195 , about MB not working on a WDTV. I have a WD TV Live and it works. Playlists, Radio etc. including covers.

I also have "Root element is missing" message in the log but if you go to audio, you can choose Media Library (which is MB) as the source nevertheless, and use MB with the WD TV Live.

Ah right, i thought that the http://ip:port/files/*.mpeg or .x-flac etc., where send to the TV directly with that extension.

You are right, they just stop after 2 seconds. Not only that file but everything in my playlist.

I will test Continuous output with different settings.

Samsung Smart TV's aren't that smart at all, as it turns out

Is there a way to send files to an UpPnP device without any form of transcoding?

Trying to get this to work on a Samsung TV, which is unable to read x-flac, x-wav or mpeg.
Sending the file works, TV starts reading, but stops not being able tot play the files.

It can handle normal Flac and MP3.

That looks very good but how do i get the backslashes to show instead of spaces?

Almost but the backslashes are gone then, so instead of \Music\P\Pearl Jam\Lost Dogs CD1\16 - Yellow Ledbetter.flac it becomes Music P Pearl Jam Lost Dogs CD1 16 - Yellow Ledbetter.flac.

It also changes every L into a D.

That doesn't work either somehow, it changes the path in D:\Music\0-9\Artist Name\etc.

I already read that thread which has a lot of information indeed, but i didn't find a solution.

I was wondering if there is some option for the <path> tag, that keeps the path as it is but i couldn't find that either.

I want to copy single files from a playlist to a different location but keep the directory structure (path) intact.

So for example C:\Music\P\Pearl Jam\Lost Dogs CD1\16 - Yellow Ledbetter.flac to D:\Music\P\Pearl Jam\Lost Dogs CD1\16 - Yellow Ledbetter.flac

I tried $Group(<album artist> but that changes the path based on the Album Artist name. That doesn't work with for example Soundtracks with Various Artists.

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to keep the directory structure (path) intact when using this option.

An example of my directory structure is: C:\Music\P\Pearl Jam\Lost Dogs CD1\16 - Yellow Ledbetter.flac.

When using this copy function for single files, i want to keep the \Music\P\ including the backslashes but i haven't been successful in doing so.

I used the search function ofc but didn't find an answer. I tried using <Path> but that results in a directory name like: Music P Pearl Jam Lost Dogs CD1, without the backslashes.

Any help would be appreciated

After the next ordeal with Helium Music Manager i went looking for a replacement and stumbled upon MusicBee.

I wished i had discovered it sooner .

It does all HMM does and much more and all with a fraction of the memory use and a lot more speed. In order to use HMM with a large dbase for example, well 116k files in my case, you need to run MySql or SQL Server in order to at least keep a bit of speed. But the speed doesn't even come close to MusicBee.

So all in all thank you very much for a beautiful peace of music management software and sharing it with everybody.
