Network problem folder - contents are not recognized by other media player

ROSE Products RS250
#1

Hello

I have the following problem with my Rose 250A streamer:

I can’t access the Rose 250A from another media player on the SMB network.

Rose FW:EA 5.8 letzte FW

I have tested the following attempts without success:

Rose reset, Rose official FW imported, network reset, router restarted, different new password used.

I can’t access the content with another media player. The first level is reached with a password.

I can’t see the contents of the folder.

Is there a write permission that could be incorrect?

What works:

Rose 250a can access the media device, can see all content on all network resources,

Windows 10 x64 PC comes to the Rose 250a, transfer from and to the Rose works smoothly with about 40Mb/s or 70Mb/s to the Windows PC in the WLAN.

Rose is connected to the network with a LAN cable.

The media player can play all 5.1 or 7.1 audio files in the respective formats. The Rose only plays them in 2.0.

Does anyone have an idea?

Best regards

Its not intended to use the Rose Streamer as a Media Server for other products. So no access to the SMB in another device for reading. At least what I know.

For 5.1/7.1 Playback, you need to attach the Rose to an AVR over the HDMI OUT Port.
The Rose can playback those 5.1/7.1 FLAC Files, but due to the fact, that the Rose itself is a Stereo only device, it cannot decode the 5.1/7.1 with its DAC. Therefore a Mutli Channel DAC (Like in AVR) are needed to do so.

Thank you for your reply.
My 250a is connected to a Yamaha CX-A5200 via HDMI.
The HDMI signal pass-through is enabled. I can view the signal inputs and outputs on the Yamaha screen. It clearly states: 2.0 channel input, 7.1 channel output.
If I play these files from the Rose through the DUNE using a Dune media player, I get a 7.1 input signal and a 7.1 output signal.
For example, with Boris Blank BD Audio.
Are you sure it’s outputting 5.1 or 7.1? Regardless of whether it’s *.wav, *.flac, or other files?

I haven’t tested any of this - because I have my RS150 only for Stereo and with an external USB DAC (2.0).
Info about playback was postet here in another thread.
But I’m unaware if this is really working. maybe you need to playback those files with the VLC Player. The normal Rose Music Player (as the RS250a is a Stereo Device) cannot playback MCH Files.
@ROSEHAN can you confirm or tell us how this is gonna work?

I’ll try again in a few days. VLC Player shouldn’t be installed to play multi-channel audio. The Rose also doesn’t support true audio pass-through. That was one of my reasons for buying it. I can also play all audio files with the Dune HD MAX VISION 4K. It was just the display that caught my attention. Otherwise, a complete waste of money.

RS150 and RS250A are both stereo devices, so multichannel (MCH) playback is not natively supported through the Rose Music Player.
Even if MCH files are loaded, they will be downmixed or may not play properly via the Rose Music Player.

However, if you’re using an external USB DAC that supports multichannel audio and a third-party player such as VLC via HDMI or USB, it may be possible to play MCH files depending on the DAC’s capabilities and player configuration.
Please note that this setup falls outside of the officially supported use case for RS150/RS250A.

That confirms my understanding (and testing).

@Rose250A
So MCH is not supported (and never will).
For Atmos Discs (like Boris Blank, Yello, Kraftwerk and many more) I use Kodi or Plex on my Shield TV.
for MCH SACD Playback I still use my oppo-203.
My Rose RS150 is for Music Playback in Stereo only, and that’s what I bought it for.

@aswiss
RS150 is designed and optimized for high-quality stereo music playback.
While multichannel (MCH) playback is not currently supported and is not part of our product roadmap for the RS150

We truly appreciate your passion for music and the thoughtful way you’ve integrated the RS150 into your system alongside other dedicated components like the Oppo-203 and Shield TV.
