Hi all.
I had these same issues (well almost). I'm running the server version
which I could download from this site a few days ago... (v6.5.0)
iTunes (and the xml) running on my Windows computer, and Slimserver
(and all the music) on my linux server.
So using samba I mounted the my documents folder to access the iTunes
Library Music.xml file. However scanner.pl kept reporting it didn't
find the xml.
Looking into the Plugin/iTunes/Common.pm it seemed like it couldn't
read the path from the config file...
This line in Common.pm;
my $explicit_xml_path =
Slim::Utils::Prefs::get('itunes_library_xml_path');
did not return anything...
So I changed it to;
my $explicit_xml_path = "/mnt/windows/Documents/iTunes/iTunes Music
Library.xml";
and then scanner.pl found it...
Next problem; it couldn't locate the music - so I tried your changes
above... no go... and once again it looked like it wasn't reading
something correctly because it didn't try to change the itunes path
(file://localhost/etc) to a local path (/storage/iTunes)...
This time it seemed to not read the explicit_path to the files in the
"normalize_location" function, so in addition to your changes above
here I had to change;
my $explicit_path =
Slim::Utils::Prefs::get('itunes_library_music_path');
to something like
my $explicit_path = "/storage/private/iTunes/";
And then everything worked just fine...
So I'm thinking what was wrong with the Slim::Utils::Prefs::get
functions that made them fail?! So if anyone that actually knows perl
or someone at Slim wanted to fix this oddity I'm pretty sure they soon
could "support" iTunes over networks/on linux aswell.
Besides with the above changes everything is seemingly just fine... (I
haven't done extensive testing yet...)
