 |

I have used Hamienet for some time without problems. Now every midi file I download will not play or open and I get error message saying invalid file format. Any suggestions.
Incidentally I am getting an 'notice error'when I open hamienet at the top of the page 'Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_USER_AGENT in /home/hamienet/html/index.iva on line 46

I can't reproduce the same error. Are you still having the problem?
Where exactly is the page that you see that error on? |

The invald format error appears when I try to play a file using Van Basco and other media players. MP3s play OK!
The notice error below appears on every page of Hamienet above the main page details
Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_USER_AGENT in /home/hamienet/html/index.iva on line 46
Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_USER_AGENT in /home/hamienet/html/index.iva on line 56 |

It seems the problem is caused by your player software. Your solution is to download (right-click save-as...) the MIDI file onto your computer first.
HTTP_USER_AGENT errors occur when your browser is not recognizable. |

I have tried downloading but still get the same problem when I try to play midi files. I don't have this problem with other sites therefore doubt if it is the media players.
Have also used Mozilla Fiefox instead of IE 7 but get the same error message on web page and trying to play files |

When you downloaded the MIDI on your computer, what is the size of the file? (if it's like really small like 4kb, then it won't play because it's not downloaded properly.)
It could be the media player not compatible with HamieNET's MIDI? (but there shouldn't be a difference)
Try using other typical player like Real player or Windows Media Player. See if problem still exist. |

I have tried all of the media players I can use, including Real Player, no luck.
If I had enough hair I would be tearing it out!!!!
All of the midi files downloaded from other sites work OK. |
