Please disregard. Found what I needed. Will upload file now.

The problem is as I suspected (the mdat atom precedes the moov atom).

You can fiind some suggested tools for fixing this on this page. I have tried using qt-faststart on the file you uploaded, and this fixes the problem.

Hi Simon,

Just updated minimserver and made a small contribution by way of showing appreciation. Thanks agaoin for your brilliant work. I updated minimwatch on my linux machine too. I used your info from way back to try and get the firewall to permit minimwatch to work. I now have it half right as minimwatch works to control server but oddly remains green even when I restart server, which is not how it is on windoze machine. I have opened UDP and TCP ports 1900 and entered SSDP and UPnP in the protocol box but I am not sure this is the correct syntax. Any further light you can shine would be appreciated.

After sending you the file I used atomicparsley to have a look at the tagging info and discovered what you have confirmed; that there is a bunch of mdat atoms before the moov atom. Thanks for the suggested fix. Will try it now.

FYI I am getting different results with these files when using BubbleDS and BubbleUPnP. Not sure if there is any issue with minimserver but the files are handled differently by these control apps and neither work well but I can play the audio files on the SIII using BubbleUPnP. I shall be raising my problems with bubbleguuum in due course but if you have any further info which may be relevant, please let me know.

Thanks again for your help.
Regards,
Budgie
