Hi,

I'm a new user of XBMC. I used boxee before but as they dropped support for normal computers I'm trying the alternative.

I've installed 10.1 and apparently videos are working fine while I cannot play my MP3s served from a UPnP device. They are listed with their tags but I cannot start them and get the hint to check the logfile (if that is Library/Logs/xbmc.log I failed to find a real hint what's going wrong).
All the OGG files on the same UPnP device can be played without an issue but MP3 fails for every single file.

Any ideas?

I'm not really familiar with playing music through XBMC, let alone via UPnP, but I would try to see of the Eden beta fixes any of these issues.

Seems to be an issue with the UPnP server:

Interestingly my ASUS Pad and Samsung (both Android) have no issues with playing MP3 via UPnP.
