RE: Will not open/play using Yamaha Rx-v3800 network receiver
Thanks for uploading this file. I have looked at it and I have found a possible explanation for the problem.

Do you use MediaMonkey to edit the tags in your files? There was a change in MediaMonkey 4.1.16 to remove ID3 tags from WAV files by changing the ID3 chunk to a JUNK chunk to prevent it from being read by other software (see this page). In the file you sent, the ID3 chunk data is present but the chunk has been changed to a JUNK chunk. If you are using (or have used) MediaMonkey on your files, I am confident that this is the cause of the problem.

There is an option in the MediaMonkey ini file to stop MediaMonkey removing ID3 tags but I doubt that setting this option will get back the ID3 tag data that has already been "junked" by MediaMonkey.

You should be able to recreate the ID3 tag data by running the files through dBpoweramp Music Converter and doing a WAV to WAV conversion. This will not change your audio data, just fix the tagging problem by recreating the ID3 tags. After you have done this conversion, the files should work as exprected in MinimServer. I suggest you try this first on a single album to make sure the conversion process is working correctly.

If you want to continue to use MediaMonkey to edit tags in your files after you have recreated the ID3 tags, you will need to use the MediaMonkey ini file setting that is mentioned on the page linked above:
[WAVTagging]
RemoveID3Tag=0

Alternatively (and safer), you could use a different tag editor (such as dBpoweramp or Mp3tag) that does not deliberately destroy tag data that it finds in your files. Sad

This is working for you in Asset UPnP because Asset UPnP is able to read LIST tags as well as ID3 tags, so Asset UPnP finds and reads the LIST tags that MediaMonkey has left in your files. Because of this problem with MediaMonkey, I will look into adding support in MinimServer for reading LIST tags but this is not likely to happen in the immediate future.
