Zune contents are encrypted. To play a Zune device you need a certificate
from Microsoft. I suspect you probably don't have one.

Can you show me the pidin arg output on your system?


Thanks,
Gilles

io-fs-media(pfs): Bad ioread status 5.
io-fs-media(pfs): Bad ioread status 5.
io-fs-media(pfs): Bad ioread status 5.

I saw those errors as well. I don't think that you would even get a
mountpoint without the certificate. Are you sure you are using a Zune and
not a PlaysForSure device?

I was looking for the output of "pidin arg". In your pidin_log.txt I don't
get the info I was looking for.

I don't know much about this. You will have to contact Microsoft to find out
the details.

Vadivel: Yes, we are using Zune device only.  We have PFS device and it works fine. We are able browse (on zune device -
 same device) and able to see the album, artist, genre ..etc list.  When we try to play particular file then we are 
getting 'Unsupported codec error'.

Re: Zune playback  
This is interesting.

So contrary to all of the sources claiming that Zune does not support PFS,
the Zune supports PFS but in a fassion that is incompatible to the PFS spec/certification
due to the additional encryption? Did I understand that correctly?

I believe that much of the commands are similar, but that there are
differences due to the additional encryption.

Re: Zune playback  
Hello Giles,

Working with Vadivel on our Zune connectivity. We have obtained our Zune certificate (.pfx and .p7b) files from 
Microsoft.  Was searching MME documentation on what to do with these files in terms of file path.  Is it just drag and 
drop to the location, or do we need to run through some qnx process and rename the files?

Kindly advise.

Thank you.

Michael
