this problem occurred with using Music Magic Mixer from MusicIP (formerly Predixis)with Slimserver. I like the mixer because it's compatible with the lossless flac files.
It took several weeks to figure this out: Slimserver cannot recognize playlists that use a mapped network drive with the W: path - it requires the UNC(Univeral Naming Convention) path to the music files. I have my music library on a network drive (Buffalo Terrastation), and inadvertantly mapped it as my W: drive on my laptop where I run MusicIP to create playlists for playing through Slimserver on my wireless whole house audio system. MusicIP re-scanned my library and cataloged everything with the W: path, instead of the UNC style path \\sharedrive\\music\. After that, it created all playlists with the W: path, which Slimserver could not recognize. You can see the path MusicIP is using by going to file/preference/playlist view and selecting FILE. I deleted the W: mapping on my laptop, re-cataloged the entire library in MusicIP, and now the playlists are being created with the UNC path. Thanks to Ross at Slimserver tech support for helping to figure out my problem! He requested me to send him a playlist that worked, and one that did not (I still had some old ones that were working). -- Dean Wyler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dean Wyler's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1095 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24442 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
