On PC#1 (Slimserver): Running Slimserver 6.5.1 under Windows 2003 Server with all music stored on a separate partition. (C: OS / D: Music) On PC#2 (CAP): Running iTunes 7.02.16 under WindowsXP SP2 with all music stored on a mapped drive on the W2K3 Server.
This configuration is great since I want to use iTunes to import or export music to/from my music Server PC under the stairs. I have a mapped drive on the XP machine of "My Music" where the iTunes database is held. I can see it on the W2K3 Server under drive Z: If I explore "Z:" I can see the mapped drive "CAP\My Music", and it contains the file "iTunes Music Library.xml", which I believe is where the iTunes Playlists are stored. Slimserver is running as Service on the W2K3 Server. When I set Slimserver to point to this, (under Server Settings >> iTunes >> ITUNES MUSIC LIBRARY.XML LOCATION), I get the following error message at the top of the page: New value for iTunes Music Library.xml Location rejected: Oops - "z:\iTunes Music Library.xml" doesn't seem to be a valid file. Try again. If I stop the Service and run in a CMD window in debug mode - the web page accepts the "z:\iTunes Music Library.xml" entry. I discard and rescan the database and my iTunes Playlists are accessible through the Slimserver and Squeezebox 2 systems. Reverting back to running Slimserver as a Service and the iTunes Playlist's are lost on the next rescan at 4am the following morning. My debugging commands are: "C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\slim.exe" --d_plugin --d_source --d_remotestream My Version info is: SlimServer Version: 6.5.1 - 11206 - Windows Server 2003 - EN - cp1252 Perl Version: 5.8.8 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt AlienBBC-v1.06_6.5 Any suggestions resolving this problem, since iTunes is the simplest way to make up playlists? regards, Colin -- capellow ------------------------------------------------------------------------ capellow's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10776 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35240 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
