Until yesterday, I had all my music stored on a Ximeta Netdisk with SlimServer running on my PC. This Netdisk is not like a NAS, it requires a driver and it runs a service that mounts the drive as if it were a regular local drive in all the computers where the driver is installed. So all my music was on the K drive and SlimServer had no problem accessing it through the drive letter path.
But I recently got a Mac laptop, and this Netdisk would not work seamlessly over the network with the Mac (would have required reformatting and other stuff I didn't want to get into). So I bought a Western Digital Netcenter and set it up yesterday. But even though you can map it to a drive letter, it is still seen by the system as a network drive and not a local drive like the Netdisk was. That meant I had to change SlimServer to use the UNC path instead of the drive letter path. Okay, no problem as far as SlimServer goes, but I also use MusicIP Mixer's send to Slimserver function all the time and MusicIP's database refers to everything by drive letter so this no longer works. Note: I don't use MusicIP integration from within Slimserver. The plugin is installed, but "Don't use MusicMagic" is checked so that the databases don't get merged. (It always caused problems for me.) I only use MIP to create mixes and send them to SS, but now that they use different paths, it doesn't send the songs to Slimserver. Does anyone have suggestions of a workaround for this? -- MeSue Sue PS: I once wanted a Squeezebox boombox, but I don't anymore. ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32625 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
