TMM 1.3 Beta

[k1200rs]

Please note that the release note of the new TMM 1.3 beta claims that:
"We addressed problems that used to occur when dragging a playlist of FLAC songs to Philips NP Series network music players"

I just tested in a simple environment:
TMS 5.1.1-RC3 on Vista
TMM 1.3 Beta
NP2900 with latest version

and...when pushing an album or multiple tracks to the NP2900, it stops after the first track... nothing changed.

And I also created a message on the Twonkyforum: http://www.twonkyforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=7164&p=26830#p26829

In my view, this has been a long standing problem.

Same behaviour with final TMM 1.3, in PUSH mode with FLAC, using TMM it does not go from one track to the other automatically.

In other words, PUSH/FLAC/TMM do not work (I did not test with other coding format).

That's quite a long standing issue now. The NP series is definitively behind competition despite the excellent quality of the devices.

I have been waiting for that feature to control with a Tablet PC my NP'.

I would just love to use such device http://www.archos.com/products/nb/archos_9/index.html?country=fr&lang=fr to push music instead of using the Philips remote control.

As a secoondary requirement, I also wish I could control the NP radio's remotely (through a PC), that's possible with the Freecom Paypal.

If we had both (radio + push), we could control the whole NP radios + music from a tablet. In other words, be at the same level as the competition...

Does not seem unreasonable to me...


Fortunately, it seems working fine with 4U2SHARE...

...well I talked too fast, after few tracks...some problems there as well but this time the NP2500 crashed...pffff

As recommended here: http://www.streamiumcafe.com/vBulletin/showthread.php?p=112340#post112340

I used EAC to rip one CD in FLAC.

I pushed the CD using Twonkymedia manager to a NP.
As reported previously, it stops after the first track. Same behavior as when I rip using dbpoweramp. Hence, I do not believe it is related to the ripping, beside, I can pull the same album without any problem.

I am in a very simple environment using latest release of TMM, TMS and NP firmware, all on VISTA (for testing).

In my view, confirmed in a French forum, the push of FLAC using TMM does not work (it works sith 4U2SHARE) but Blechtrottel said here (http://www.streamiumcafe.com/vBulletin/showpost.php?p=112314&postcount=10) that it works for him.


===>>> But I might be wrong, could someone else verify and use TMM 1.3 (latest release) to push a FLAC album to a NP?
Thanks, Francis

I have sent FLAC tracks ripped with dbpoweramp and winamp as requested by PV (Rick) for analysis.
I tried 3 ripping tools: EAC, dbpoweramp and winamp with always same issue, when pushing several FLAC tracks to a NP device using TMM, it stops after the first track.
I am using latest release of TMM, NP and VISTA patches. No firewall (for testing) and I tried with 2 different PC.

Can someone confirm the same behavior?
I can provide sample files (tracks) if needed.
