t029248 is an unknown quantity at this point
Default playback Flac "too many consecutive items"

When i try to play flac files (over the Lan or local) i get the error:
"too many consecutive items" Even if i try to play a singe .flac file.

I thought that .flac files already worked?

I have this same problem ONLY when I try to play the files in the "Library" mode. When playing them normally from the file browser, they play fine. This also happens with my Apple Lossless files.

I have the same problem, even with Library mode disabled.. Had it since he first version (0.1), could it be a setting somewhere ?

How many FLAC files are you trying to play? Please describe exactly what you're doing.

"Too many consecutive items" indicates that 100 files in a row in a playlist could not be played (either by failing at opening, or failing due to codec issues).

This indicates to me that there's probably an issue with the FLAC codec, and further suggests that no FLAC files will play.

Cheers,
Jonathan

I also get "Too many consecutive items" when I try to start up Flac music.

I played a single Flac file and it played perfectly. Post your xbmc.log to Pastie and post a link.

I'm having the problem on both my Mac Mini and my Macbook pro, the log file included is from my Macbook pro: It's a fresh install, made no changes to the configuration.. Tried a couple of random FLAC files, all give the same message..

Guess it concerns the following part:

Perfect, that explains everything! Will be fixed in the next go around.

Thanks,
