OK Here's the lowdown..... I have searched and searched and things are still flaky after doing lots of fixes mentioned in the archives. I'm getting fed up!
I have 3 Squeezeboxen (1 wireless, 2 wired). The server v6.0b3 is running on a 2.6 XP box (upstairs) with 1gig of Ram. My library is 16529 songs.... I am having problems with my music. I have a folder ...mydocuments/squeezebox. In this folder I have three shortcuts. They are as follows: //linuxbox/dood/mp3 //basement-xp/livemusic Z:\ The 1st refers to a linux box I have in the basement. The permissions are set to allow my XP username zach to access the files. The 2nd refers to an XP box in the basement. Again, permissions in the folders are set correctly. The 3rd refers to a fire wire drive attached to the computer running the slimserver software. I have the slimserver running as *user* zach...who also has permission on the two boxes in the basement. The problems typically occur when trying to browse music folders. I can't access any of the folders. I get the "blah..blah..blah..set your directory" message. I can however play the songs from playlists....I just can't browse the folders. This happens randomly, or at least as best as I can guess. FYI: the playlists are in a separate folder: ...mydocuments/playlists FYI: I don't use itunes playlists or allow the server control over itunes Also, on the occasions when I have to restart the XP box running slimserver (upstairs) I lose all the music and have to shut down the server and then wipe the cache. This is not something I want to do every time I restart the computer. Got any ideas on fixing the situation...I think I've documented everything I can think of. On an unrelated note: is there a way to make the Datetime screensaver display the song name/title info when playing songs and then go back to the time...after 1 scroll through or so? Thanks in advance. Zach _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
