Upgraded to 4.4 now none of my WMA files play. My MPS files still work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's my logs looks like a problem with the transcoding.

[6/7/11 8:13:21 AM EDT] INFO PlaylistInputStream admin listening to "Whatever's Cool With Me\02 Sideways.wma"

Here's my trans coder
wma > mp3 Step 1 wmadec %s Step 2 lame -b %b -x - -

Mine play with the default settings:

ffmpeg -i %s -v 0 -f wav -

lame -b %b --tt %t --ta %a --tl %l -S --resample 44.1 - -

When you upgraded, maybe it removed the contents of the transcoder folder... is wmadec still installed, where you put it originally to make it work?

I suspect GJ51's method will solve your problem, regardless.

The transcoder appears to be their.
c:\subsonic\transcode\wmadec.exe

This worked before I upgraded. Also mp3's work fine.

I tried using GJ51's settings but still no luck. The settings that I sent in my first post were the subsonic defaults, I never changed them. Do you have to restart SubSonic for thr transcoder change to take effect?

Thanks again for the help.

Sorry for the multiple posts.

GJ51's suggestion worked after a restart of SubSonic.

Thanks GJ51 and Kirk for the support.

I have the following error when attempting to play wma

These posts are a bit dated. If you're using the advice here, then you'll have to put lame.exe into the transcode folder. WMA vbr files can be a bit tricky to get working right. The more details about your platform and what setup your using to do the transcoding, the more likely someone can contribute a helpful answer for you.
