As I've posted many times before and suggested to you before - make the music looping feature selectable please!??!!??

Otherwise, it's a great app!

Not going to make any changes "for now". :mrgreen: At some point I'll get back to this, but life has crapping on me all year and I've got other priorities right now. For what it's worth, I took a look at what it would take to remove the looping and it would take more than a few minutes.

What has the above to do with My Media app???

Is it spam, or what?

I think you nailed it. It seems to be spam but VERY poor spam. I guess we should report and not discuss it but it is so comical that I could not resist.

MODs: Feel free to delete this if you want.

For everyone who is interested, http://pogoplug.com/ is offering "free" pogoplug classic device with subscription to the Pogoplug Family Backup. I received one yesterday and I am running ArchLinuxArm on it and MyMedia app is happily serving the content. The speed is very reasonable and power consumption is low. Not a bad deal for $30.

You can read my review of it if you are interested - http://thingsiused.blogspot.com/ The blog is ad free 🙂

I am getting the same issue "library failed to parse ID3 tags for" with version of netguy204-roku_media_server-ExtremeAvocado-45-g932629b. Where I can get the older version of this server.

On my roku device I can see the list of my files. But when I try to play them, I get invalid file format error for both MP3 and MP4 files.

Please advise.

I don't know if an older version of the server would help you, but they should all be availabe on github.

I don't understand what you mean when you say, "I get invalid file format error for both MP3 and MP4 files". Is the error coming from the server or the channel? I don't believe there's an error message like that in either. I don't think a problem with an ID3 tag would keep an MP3 from playing, but I'm not sure. Can you send me an MP3 with the problem?

The problem with MP4s would not be related to a problem with MP3s. The box can be pretty picky about video files, so you may want to post the output of MedioInfo or provide a link to (or send me) a small video file.

Sorry for the confuse. I am able to play MP4 (video files) now from Roku Channel. But I still have problem playing MP3 (audio files). When I access through ROKU Channel I can see the mp3 folders. When Click on the folder I get a confirmation dialog with message "No media items retrieved. Is the media path set correctly? Does the selected path contain playable files?". When I look at the logs I see the error message as "library failed to parse ID3 tags for".

Please help on how to resolve the problem at mymedia server.

I think the problem is with Pythin 2.7.2 version. Some one had the similar issue and able to fix it by down grading it to 2.6. Will try.

[rvempati]

Yes, Python 2.6 resolved the issue. Hope, this help others.
