So this weekend I loaded Ubuntu 8.0.4 and Squeezecenter on my laptop, the same laptop that was running Squeezecenter on Vista (luckily I had a spare HD kicking around).
I used smbfs to attach to the MyBookWorld Edition where all my music resided, and *poof* all my music is detected and it worked like a champ! One thing did jump out at me though, and this is what lead me to the fix for my Windows install. When using Gnome's 'connect to server' option, which is the Gnome version of mapping a network drive, I noticed that while all my folders were on the share, all the files weren't! I toggled the Nautilus/Gnome option to 'view hidden files' and *poof* all my files showed up! Because Squeezecenter used the smbfs mounted share, not the Gnome/Nautilus mapping, it worked like a champ. On a hunch, I put the Vista HD back in the laptop and booted it up to look at the file attributes. There it was, the hidden attribute was set! I unchecked this attribute for one folder. Told Squeezecenter in windows to use just this folder for the library, issued a manual rescan and it worked! Now to figure out how to chmod -h all these files on the MBWE... Please do what you can to share this information with others as it is noteworthy! Squeezecenter will NOT read files with the 'hidden' attribute set! -- seedoubleyou ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seedoubleyou's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2565 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48453 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
