Hello there ! First, I'm sorry if the questions I'll ask here have some kind of answer somewhere, but I've been trying to get this work for 3 days now, diggind deep in both this forum and musicip's (unsuccessfully as you might guess) and I really need to know if it's worth struggling further.
I run SS 6.5.1 and MusicIP 1.7.1 on win XPsp2. SS using MM, and 'blank' music folder setting. I keep MM running as GUI, because in the headless app there's no way to set exclusions (disabled tracks, books, ...) and in SS there's no way to forget about unchecked songs, like when using iTunes. There's one problem with MM-GUI's API service randomly stopping, but I posted on musicip forums about that. Let's see. Just to settle this, I've also checked all what follows in headless mode with whole SS cache deleted, so this wouldn't be an answer. What I want to expose here is the erratic behaviour of this fantastic but capricious couple of apps. My stats, shown in MM : 13002 songs (12989 mixables), 248 artists, 840 albums, 34 genres. When SS first scans, everything matches. (except albums, but that's ok since both apps don't handle my [n/a] tags the same) But then, songs went down to 12997, and later on, after a short MM/SS shutdown/reopen (in right order), back to 13001 (!) but this time with only 229 artists... In top of that, trying to create a mix doesn't always work... Sometimes (when trying from webUI) it creates an empty list. When trying from the remote, it shows 'MusicMagic Mix (1 of 50)' but keeps repeating the same song (must be the same 'empty list' symptom). Maybe this won't work while playing, I remember having stopped the song once, retried and got it to work. This whole flood to say that using this combination can be a real hassle, but the mixing possibilities are huge. But my music is on a local server, so I really need this to work from the remote or the webUI (on another computer) without continually having to physically access the server to restart, rescan or whatever. So any advice by people managing to master this would be hihgly welcomed. -- Stan Pulsar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stan Pulsar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6669 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31894 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
