Forums Bug Reports A real /splay bug

/splay will not open files on networked computers

for example, $isfile(//mp3serv/taco.mp3) could return $true, but

/splay //mp3serv/taco.mp3

will not play, it says the file does not exist

mIRC should work with networked computers, I'm sick of mapping network drives for old programs.

my mirc freezes when i splay a small mp3 :P

1100MHz amd duron
128 mb ram
win98 4.10 - 1998

i think thats a mirc issue, not my system

mIRC doesnt play the music, it sends the request to windows to play. If it was a mIRC issue rather than your system, how is it that others have no probs with /splay? Even using win98se with its lovely builtin memory leak, i have no prob with /splay. I cant say win98's memory leak has never frozen mIRC, but in every case its windows, not mIRC at fault.

How small might a "small mp3" be?

Please do not hijack this thread, we are talking about networked files.

No, that should be: /splay \\mp3serv\taco.mp3 .
